Quantum Computing to Affect Insurer Tech Strategies

Insurers should develop five-year quantum-readiness roadmaps and factor new developments into core, security, and AI strategies: Novarica

Boston, MA (Nov. 21, 2019) – Quantum computing has the potential to break the barriers of classical computing, forcing a redesign of the fundamental technology underlying data protection, risk modeling, and analytics. In its latest report, Quantum Computing and Insurance: Overview and Potential Players, research and advisory firm Novarica advises insurers to factor Quantum into their long-term technology plans.

The new brief provides an overview of quantum computing developments, current challenges, potential areas of impact for insurers, recommendations for insurers preparing to become quantum-ready, and short profiles of current players actively developing solutions in this space.

“The rise of quantum computing also offers insurers considerable growth opportunities,” said Mitch Wein, Senior Vice President of Research and Consulting and co-author of Novarica’s new report. “If adopted early and leveraged thoughtfully, quantum computing has the potential to give carriers a competitive advantage in risk modeling accuracy, core systems agility, data security, and AI-driven offerings and initiatives. The competitive risk to carriers for not leveraging quantum will grow as quantum computing capabilities become cloud-accessible.”
