IOT

Here are five trends to look for in 2017, as the IoT enters its adolescence, and how to benefit from them.

The internet is going from controlling information to controlling physical things, which has profound implications for insurance.

With IoT, insurers can leverage big data analytics to better underwrite risk, improve loss prevention and even predict consumer behavior.

Analysis by the Connected Insurance Observatory, a think tank, shows how the new paradigm is creating opportunities.

Is there a specific place where we can plug in some type of security to help stop the mischief? No. But could there be?

As of today, 22% of Italian households that have no home insurance are inclined to buy it—if it were connected insurance.

We have been happy with our sensors spewing driving and exercise data, but we have barely scratched the surface of the available IoT data sources.

The notion of a connected world is not an academic one for the future. It is a here-and-now issue affecting every industry, including insurance.
