Our take

The cybersecurity industry has been going through a record-breaking period of investment. This trend has emerged as more companies move to cloud-based networks following the increase in out-of-office work, thus increasing the risk of cyber attacks. However, many cutting-edge cyber defences are too expensive for many companies.

Coalition’s joint offering of cybersecurity tools, a risk management platform, and cyber insurance allows companies to manage the ever-present risk of cyber threats.

The company has made a strong start since its 2017 launch, raising more than $800 million in funding. There are several other fast-growth startups in the cybersecurity space, including Wiz and Orca Security, but Coalition’s shrewd insurance-based model is what sets it apart from the competition. The company has set out on a path toward global expansion, branching out from the US and Canadian markets to bring its solutions to the UK, whilst also acquiring smaller competitors like JUMBO.
