Resilience: Cyber Risk Solution Company Secures $100 Million To Accelerate Global Expansion

By Amit Chowdhry • Aug 12, 2023

Resilience recently announced a $100 million equity financing round to accelerate its global expansion and scale the adoption of its holistic cyber risk platform, the Resilience Solution – which launched earlier this year. And the Series D round was led by Intact Ventures, an affiliate of Resilience’s primary capacity provider, Intact Insurance’s underwriting companies, with participation by Lightspeed Venture Partners along with General Catalyst and Founders Fund.

As global cybercrime is set to eclipse $10.5 trillion by 2025, enterprises are finding that the status-quo siloed approach that governs security decision-making today isn’t keeping up. And by connecting leaders in finance, risk, and security, the Resilience Solution provides clients a new way to assess, measure, and manage their cyber risk. Built on the company’s financially-proven AI platform, the Resilience Solution enables policyholders to quantify their cyber risk and prioritize their security program based on a return-on-investment analysis of their controls.

Last year, 100% of clients of Resilience’s cyber risk management solution avoided ransomware extortion, with 67% incurring lower losses than the total insurance base. And this success led to a loss ratio that was three times lower than the 2022 industry average. Resilience has raised over $225 million in prior funding and serves primary and excess clients in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, Italy, Spain, and the Nordics.

KEY QUOTES:

“The increase in ransomware attacks proves that there are longstanding gaps in today’s cybersecurity and cyber insurance practices. Instead, enterprises need a way to look at their cyber risk in an integrated, economically-efficient, and predictable manner. This funding will accelerate our mission to make this a reality for more companies around the world. I want to thank our team and our broker partners for helping us arrive at this milestone.”

— Vishaal “V8” Hariprasad, CEO and Co-Founder of Resilience

“We’re thrilled to lead Resilience’s financing round and to work together to build the cyber risk platform of the future. We’re eager to continue pairing the innovative cybersecurity solutions and expertise of Resilience with the insurance expertise of Intact Insurance’s underwriting companies as Resilience’s primary capacity provider.”

— Justin Smith-Lorenzetti, Intact Ventures

“Having worked closely with Raj (Shah), V8, and the Resilience team, we are pleased to invest again in their cyber solutions. Partnering with Resilience brings deep security expertise to our customers in an everchanging cyber environment. We look forward to helping them grow their innovative approach to help clients become cyber resilient.”

— T. Michael Miller, CEO, Global Specialty Lines, Intact Financial Corporation

“Securing a digital world at enterprise scale requires fundamental behavior change. We have been long-term believers in the Resilience team because they set out to fill this critical gap from day one. We are incredibly excited to see them executing on this vision over the past several years and we look forward to how they’ll help the market tackle cyber risk in the future.”

— Arif Janmohamed, Partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners, which first invested in Resilience during its Series A round
