Ep. 58 – From Forms to Data Precision: Telemetry’s Role in Cyber Underwriting – with Alex Jomaa

Telemetry is changing the underwriting game, enabling a shift from clunky forms to real-time, verifiable risk data.

In this episode, host Anthony Hess sits down with Alex Jomaa, Chief Underwriting Officer at Onda, to explore how real-time data is transforming cyber underwriting, and why it’s time the industry stopped relying on outdated processes that frustrate clients and slow brokers down.

Alex explains how Onda’s Navigator platform integrates directly with a client’s infrastructure to deliver objective, verifiable cyber risk insights, thereby eliminating the back-and-forth of long-form questionnaires. In addition, he unpacks the biggest hurdles to cyber adoption, from poor timing and over-complication to misaligned incentives and volatile pricing cycles.


You'll learn:

1. How telemetry brings scale, accuracy, and speed to cyber underwriting
2. What really stops buyers from purchasing cyber policies
3. How brokers can sell cyber coverage more effectively
4. The key signals Onda uses to assess cyber hygiene and risk quality
5. Why market volatility is damaging long-term trust in cyber insurance
