PALO ALTO, Calif., April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The SAFE platform is rapidly gaining acceptance by the insurance industry as the new standard for efficient and transparent cyber risk management for underwriting, enabling insurance brokers and carriers to optimize risk selection and underwriting efficiency while introducing unique policy incentives and premium discounts directly correlated to an organization’s cyber risk posture in SAFE.

SAFE recently swept the Cyber Insurance Awards USA 2025 with four wins: Cyber InsurTech of the Year, Cyber Underwriting Technology of the Year, and Cyber Insurance Technology Provider of the Year, with SAFE’s Insurance Leader, Steven Schwartz Highly Commended as a “Rising Star in Cyber Insurance.”

“SAFE stood out from their peers in 2024 in innovation and thought leadership,” the Cyber Insurance Awards judges commented. “They have continued to push the bounds in risk quantification and cyber and underwriting through their partnerships with brokers and carriers to the benefit of clients and the market.”

Key Points about SAFE’s Solution for the Insurance Industry

SAFE Is the Leader in AI-powered, Continuous Cyber Risk Management

Our SAFE One platform enables CISOs and cyber risk leaders to proactively and continuously quantify, prioritize, and manage cyber risks across the entire enterprise attack surface, including third parties.

The platform also enables insurance brokers and carriers to quantitatively assess and underwrite cyber insurance more efficiently and effectively, leveraging SAFE’s AI-automation and transparency that underpins each risk analysis.

How SAFE Transforms Cyber Insurance Underwriting 

The standard underwriting process for cyber insurance today is broken, depending on two indirect and outmoded methods.

–”Outside-in” scans that paint a partial picture of the enterprise’s cybersecurity controls and will always be subject to false positives

–Lengthy, subjective questionnaires that consume 4-8+ weeks of time across multiple security, operations, and financial stakeholders.

SAFE empowers a streamlined cyber risk and insurance assessment, leveraging read-only API integrations to more than 100 cloud, SaaS, and cybersecurity solutions.

In a matter of minutes, an organization can obtain an objective, real-time understanding of its cyber risk posture and any specific vulnerabilities and misconfigurations with prioritized recommendations on remediation.

SAFE’s transparency and underwriting efficiency enables our underwriter and broker partners to reduce hours into minutes while obtaining more meaningful, objective risk insights that empower SAFE’s carrier partners to offer significant policy incentives.

Cyber Insurance Buyers Achieve Discounts of Up to 30%

SAFE platform users qualify for discounts with leading insurance brokers and carriers that partner with SAFE, such as Chubb, Mosaic Insurance, Zurich Insurance, and more.

“With SAFE and their partnership with Mosaic, we were able to obtain increased limits with a premium savings of more than 20% while saving about 100 hours compared to the traditional renewal process on our technology E&O cyber insurance policy,” said Jay Modh, Founder and CEO, Intuitive Cloud. “In a matter of minutes we were able to obtain preferential terms with continuous visibility into our prioritized recommendations and findings from SAFE.”

Capital Intensity to Reach 14 percent by 2027

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — According to a recently published report from Dell’Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, security, networks, and data center industries, telecom operators scaled back wireless and wireline investments in 2024. The high-level relationship between carrier revenues, capex, and telecom equipment was mostly stable, as both telecom capex and telecom equipment revenues tanked in 2024. Preliminary findings show that worldwide telecom capex, the sum of wireless and wireline/other telecom carrier investments, declined 8 percent in 2024 (telecom equipment manufacturing revenues for the six programs tracked at the Dell’Oro Group declined 11 percent over the same period).

“With some of the larger fiber and 5G builds now in the past, the different risk profiles across the carrier spectrum become more pronounced,” said Stefan Pongratz, Vice President of RAN and Telecom Capex research at Dell’Oro Group. “While some operators prefer a more growth-oriented approach and consider elevated capital intensity levels as essential to gain a competitive edge and be better prepared for the next technology transition, the majority of the operators believe the pie is mostly fixed and focusing on efficiency improvements is considered less risky to this group,” continued Pongratz.

Additional highlights from the April 2025 Telecom Capex report:

Investment conditions are expected to stabilize in 2025, though it will still be a challenging year from a capex and telecom equipment revenue perspective.The near-term investment outlook is less favorable – carrier capex is expected to decline at a 2 percent CAGR over the next 3 years.With carrier revenues on track to advance slightly (+1 percent CAGR), capex/revenue is projected to approach 14 percent in 2027, down from 16 percent in 2024.Wireless capital intensity is projected to approach 12 to 13 percent in 2027, down five to six percentage points since the 5G peak.
