Coalition
A large-scale, well-capitalized leader that helped define the active cyber-insurance category, with strong historical growth; its efficacy claims are largely self-reported and its most recent mega-round dates to 2021, suggesting the company may be maturing toward a public offering rather than continuing rapid private fundraising.

Bundles active security-control monitoring and alerting directly into the cyber-insurance policy itself -- a genuinely different model than traditional risk-transfer-only insurers, pioneered alongside a small number of peers like At-Bay.
Operating since 2017 with a very large policyholder base implied by its scale of funding and valuation; long track record of underwriting and claims handling at meaningful volume.
Raised a $205M Series E at a $3.5B valuation in 2021, bringing total funding to $860M -- among the largest funding hauls of any company in this batch, though the most recent large round dates to 2021.
Materially changed the cyber-insurance business model by combining active risk monitoring with underwriting, helping define the 'active insurance' category that others have since followed.
Efficacy (e.g. claims-reduction rates for monitored policyholders) is primarily company-reported; independent actuarial validation was not identified in sources reviewed.
Cyber insurance combined with proactive risk monitoring addresses a durable and growing need as breach frequency, severity and regulatory exposure continue rising.
Why CISOs Should Care
Coalition gives CISOs and risk leaders a cyber-insurance policy paired with continuous external attack-surface monitoring and alerting, so the insurer is actively helping prevent claims rather than only paying out after a breach occurs.
What Makes It Different
One of the original 'active insurance' pioneers, combining underwriting, security monitoring and incident response under one policy and platform, versus traditional insurers that treat security and insurance as fully separate functions.

Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
Claims-reduction and risk-monitoring efficacy statistics are company-reported.
