TechAssure, the international nonprofit association of insurance and risk management experts for technology-related risks, has announced a new partnership with Parametrix Insurance. TechAssure members will gain access to Parametrix’s insurance products that protect tech-reliant businesses from third-party IT downtime.
“Parametrix has created an innovative suite of products for tech-enabled businesses – the exact companies that TechAssure brokers serve,” said TechAssure Executive Director, Garrett Droege. “Downtime has become a major exposure for companies as they move more and more of their mission-critical activities to the cloud. While the cyber insurance marketplace can address this exposure, it often comes with long waiting periods, lengthy claims adjustment processes, restrictions on the use of funds, and high deductibles. Parametrix, however, is designed exclusively for business downtime resulting from cloud outages – which is a better solution for most businesses.”
Founded by experienced entrepreneurs and data scientists, Parametrix’s highly innovative policies are based on the huge amounts of data collected by their proprietary monitoring system which tracks the availability and performance of a wide range of cloud services down to the millisecond. Their products address a critical unmet insurance need and are relevant to any company that is looking to cover the risks of downtime incidents caused by providers of cloud-based services such as cloud, ecommerce, payments, CRM, CDN and more.
VP Business Development, Tsafrir Oranski, added, “TechAssure is an ideal partner for Parametrix. Their brokers are innovative and understanding of the complex risks surrounding cloud infrastructure. We are happy to partner with TechAssure to bring our suite of products to their technology-reliant clients.”
