With new data and a better understanding of cloud behavior, Parametrix Analytics introduces a new approach to Lloyd's cloud outage RDS.
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.
