Abstract

A cybersafety incremental insurance policy utilizing blockchain underwriting process. A cyber risk event relating to transfer of data to a first party is identified using a first smart contract module. Cyber risk control of the cyber risk event is enabled using a second smart contract module. Cyber risk associated with the cyber risk control is transferred using a third smart contract module. The first smart contract, the second smart contract and the third smart contract are integrated into a multi-tier decentralized interaction that is recorded in a blockchain token utilizing a decentralized append only distributed ledger and a consensus algorithm for agreement to change requests on the distributed ledger. A premium associated cyber risk transfer is paid. Once the first party confirms receipt of the data, proof of premium is released into an insuring entities account.

Claims (20)

1. A cybersafety incremental insurance policy utilizing blockchain underwriting process comprising:

identifying a cyber risk event relating to transfer of data to a first party using a first smart contract module;

enabling cyber risk control of the cyber risk event using a second smart contract module;

transferring cyber risk associated with the cyber risk control using a third smart contract module;

integrating the first smart contract, the second smart contract and the third smart contract into a multi-tier decentralized interaction that is recorded in a blockchain token utilizing a decentralized append only distributed ledger and a consensus algorithm for agreement to change requests on the distributed ledger;

paying a premium associated cyber risk transfer; and

once the first party confirms receipt of the data, proof of premium is released into an insuring entities account.

2. The cybersafety incremental insurance policy utilizing blockchain underwriting process of claim 1 , wherein the blockchain token has a value and wherein the value of the blockchain token is variable.

3. The cybersafety incremental insurance policy utilizing blockchain underwriting process of claim 1 , wherein the blockchain token is not based upon proof of work.

4. The cybersafety incremental insurance policy utilizing blockchain underwriting process of claim 1 , and further comprising assigning a cybersafety score based an evaluation of an entity related to the cyber risk, wherein the cybersafety score affects an amount of the premium.

5. The cybersafety incremental insurance policy utilizing blockchain underwriting process of claim 4 , wherein the cybersafety score is between 0.00 and 1.00.

6. The cybersafety incremental insurance policy utilizing blockchain underwriting process of claim 1 , wherein transferring cyber risk comprising incremental risk quantification and incremental disk qualification.

7. The cybersafety incremental insurance policy utilizing blockchain underwriting process of claim 1 , and further comprising specifying a time period for providing the proof of premium.

8. The cybersafety incremental insurance policy utilizing blockchain underwriting process of claim 1 , and further comprising automatically processing the cyber risk transfer request.

9. The cybersafety incremental insurance policy utilizing blockchain underwriting process of claim 1 , wherein the incremental insurance policy is generated on demand.

10. The cybersafety incremental insurance policy utilizing blockchain underwriting process of claim 1 , and further comprising holding the premium in escrow.

11. The cybersafety incremental insurance policy utilizing blockchain underwriting process of claim 1 , wherein the incremental insurance policy is integrated into a digital transaction.

12. The cybersafety incremental insurance policy utilizing blockchain underwriting process of claim 1 , wherein the incremental insurance policy is integratable into different blockchains.

13. The cybersafety incremental insurance policy utilizing blockchain underwriting process of claim 1 , wherein the blockchain token is autonomously regulated by blockchain participants.

14. The cybersafety incremental insurance policy utilizing blockchain underwriting process of claim 1 , and further comprising at least one of the parties to the cybersafety incremental insurance policy filing an appeal and wherein the appeal includes submission of an immutable explanation of a basis for the appeal by the party submitting the appeal.
