Resilience Cyber Insurance Solutions, founded in 2016 and headquartered in San Francisco, lets a CISO tie an organization’s cyber-insurance economics directly to its security posture, using risk quantification to prioritize controls that actually reduce premiums and claims exposure rather than treating insurance and security as separate budget lines. Unlike traditional cyber insurers, Resilience runs an in-house risk-operations center and quantification platform that actively monitors policyholders’ security controls and ties them directly to underwriting and pricing, rather than only paying claims after a breach occurs.
The company has raised through a Series D, led by a founding team with military and intelligence pedigree that has genuinely differentiated the cyber-insurance category by pairing it with active risk monitoring. Its efficacy claims are largely self-reported, and the active-insurance space has grown increasingly competitive, with Coalition and At-Bay pursuing similar models.
Innovation Matrix Assessment
Combines cyber-risk quantification software with underwriting and a dedicated risk-operations center -- blending insurance and active security monitoring, which is a genuinely different model from traditional cyber-insurance underwriting.
Operates from San Francisco with offices in New York, Chicago, Baltimore, Toronto and London, and has expanded its risk-management solution to clients with up to $10B in revenue, indicating real enterprise-scale operation since its 2016 founding.
$100M Series D announced August 2023 brought total funding to $225M+, backed by General Catalyst, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Founders Fund, Intact Ventures, CRV and Shield Capital.
Bundling continuous security-control monitoring with the insurance policy itself (an ROI-based approach to security investment) is a meaningfully different model versus pure risk-transfer insurers, though the broader 'active cyber insurance' category now has several competitors.
Outcomes are reported primarily by the company itself (e.g. claims frequency/severity reduction for policyholders); no independent actuarial audit was reviewed.
Cyber insurance paired with risk quantification addresses a durable and growing enterprise need as breach costs and regulatory exposure keep rising.
Why CISOs Should Care
Resilience lets a CISO tie the organization's cyber-insurance economics directly to its security posture, using risk quantification to prioritize controls that actually reduce premiums and claims exposure rather than treating insurance and security as separate budgets.
What Makes It Different
Unlike traditional cyber insurers, Resilience runs an in-house risk-operations center and quantification platform that actively monitors policyholders' security controls and ties them to underwriting and pricing, rather than just paying claims after a breach.
The Matrix Verdict
72/100 — MEANINGFUL INNOVATOR
A well-funded, founder team with military/intelligence pedigree that has genuinely differentiated the cyber-insurance category by pairing it with active risk monitoring; its efficacy claims are largely self-reported and the space is increasingly competitive (Coalition, At-Bay).
Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
Claims-reduction and ROI figures are company-reported; no independent audit of loss ratios was available in sources reviewed.
