Why Digital Resilience Matters: The Pitch that Opened Eyes and Stole Hearts

Nov 16, 2019
Medical mobile apps and devices for pain, and disease management have caused more than 80,000 deaths since 2008. (2018 report)


TauruSeer was selected to the Hartford InsurTech Hub accelerator with access to insurance partners interested in transforming the industry digitally, and culturally, from risk reaction to risk prevention. This is the presentation that opened the eyes of the audience with the impact of technology to patient safety and won their hearts. Why? Read more...



Dig around into safety recalls of software developers, device manufacturers, FDA, NTIA, etc. and you find it's easy to spot the problems — code. Software code turns into not only web software and mobile applications, but products we depend on, for example: Continuous Glucose Monitors, medical mobile apps, and Insulin Pump devices. 

Web software, mobile applications, and code that runs devices is a big problem. 

We need to do a better job at connecting the deepest levels of technology all the way to the potential impact it could have .... to protect business operations and information, ensure patient and consumer safety, and safeguard finances and reputations.

The lack of disciplined cyber and IT management processes for assessing risks, automatically and continuously, as part of ongoing resilience of software, code, and systems directly impacted our CEO's daughter and her safety.

Today, there is so much target fixation on cybersecurity (perimeter protection) — it is leading to widespread efforts addressing cyber symptoms and compliance check-boxes rather than taking a step back to solve systemic operational problems.

NTIA Working Group focused on Healthcare Proof of Concept for Software Component Transparency says;Modern software systems involve increasingly complex and dynamic supply chains. Lack of systemic transparency into the composition and functionality of these systems contributes substantially to cybersecurity risk as well as the costs of development, procurement, and maintenance. In our increasingly interconnected world, risk and cost impact not only individuals and organizations directly but also collective goods like public safety and national security.” 

Leading Insurance companies are thinking differently and are looking to help their customers prevent risk to avoid potential cyber, reinsurance, and product liability claims.


Here's the script:

SLIDE 1 — Today’s businesses and consumers depend on real-time insights to respond, adapt, and stay ahead of potential threats.

SLIDE 2 — You already have tools to protect the perimeter for your defense strategy. 

SLIDE 3 — Your largest blind spot is digital resilience from the inside-out. Unaddressed operational risk challenges like Shadow IT & App Dev, Technical Debt, Application Security, and Code Rot to name a few.

SLIDE 4 — Utilizing point-in-time questionnaires and risk assessments don’t work. Insurers: It’s time to step into the modern world.

SLIDE 5 — TauruSeer helps you run two automation strategies at once:
#1 – Eliminate your own cyber risk blind spot.
#2 – Provide risk insights for the operations and products you insure.

SLIDE 6 — With the shift to everything being software-defined and systems being containerized — your biggest threat lies in a different set of hands — that code.

SLIDE 7 — Digital Resilience from the inside-out means .… that beyond IT and product development — the business — including security, third-parties, operations, and even consumers — can identify and respond to risk.

SLIDE 8 — Offering digital resilience from the inside-out in the form of an on-demand, API-powered platform opens new streams of revenue and helps you proactively innovate ahead of what IT will face next — not only for cyber insurance — but also product liability and reinsurance risks.

SLIDE 9 — TauruSeer is the first product-centric integrated risk management platform built to enable digital resilience for insurers and their customers.

SLIDE 10 — Partner with TauruSeer to offer a joint solution to offer a new revenue-generating service and digital resilience scoring to transform from risk reaction to real-time risk prevention.

SLIDE 11 — Our founding team has served as chief strategy, security, and technology officers at well-known institutions. 

SLIDE 12 — I want to share a personal story to address reinsurance and product liability:
#1 – Health insurers using medical mobile apps who carry vulnerabilities; and,
#2 – Those device manufacturers who need to continuously asses risk for cyber liability and product liability.

SLIDE 13 — This is my daughter, Jalen, who has Type 1 Diabetes. We depend on software and the code developers write to manage her disease and keep her alive.

We built TauruSeer to prevent the products we depend on from becoming larger threats than the disease itself.
