As cloud technology rapidly evolves and reliance on cloud services grows, insurers and reinsurers are increasingly exposed to cloud-related risks.

A New View on Cloud Outage RDS analyzes Lloyd’s RDS 17.3 “Cloud Cascade”, offering a more practical and insightful scenario that aligns results with the actual structure of the cloud landscape.

The white paper addresses key challenges with the current cloud outage RDS, including:

  • A lack of specificity about the nature of the event

  • A lack of specificity about the scope of the outage event

  • A lack of specificity about the impact on insureds

  • Superfluous details about the event

  • Return period estimates, and

  • Inadequate economic loss assumptions

Parametrix proposes essential data elements to specify a new cloud outage scenario. Utilizing different, more granular, and readily available data will result in a more plausible RDS.

This will enable more informed decisions regarding capital allocation, risk management strategies, and pricing of cloud-related insurance products.
