About The Customer
Corvus Insurance is a market-leading specialty insurance managing general agent (MGA) that offers Smart Cyber Insurance® powered by AI-driven risk data. The company is committed to building a safer world through insurance products and digital tools that aim to reduce risk, increase transparency, and improve resilience for policyholders and program partners. Corvus places a strong emphasis on its own security fundamentals and is dedicated to helping its policyholders understand complex risks. The company provides ongoing cyber-threat monitoring and risk alerts, and offers incident response support throughout the claim lifecycle. Corvus also assists with the engagement of vetted and trusted partners, such as breach counsel and forensics firms, to ensure success.
The Challenge
Corvus Insurance, a specialty insurance managing general agent, is committed to providing robust cybersecurity to its policyholders. The company's security team, led by Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) Jason Rebholz, recognized the need for robust detection and response capabilities as the company grew. They understood the importance of balancing their time between securing their environment and monitoring it against the latest security threats. To achieve this, they decided to rely on external experts for detection and response. However, the managed security services provider (MSSP) they had in place was not meeting their needs. Rebholz emphasized the importance of trust in outsourcing capabilities and sought a vendor that would guard their security as they would their own. After evaluating several managed detection and response (MDR) options, Rebholz found that none of them could match the capabilities and understanding of their cloud environment that Expel offered.
The Solution
Expel was chosen by Corvus Insurance for its innovative approach to cybersecurity and its understanding of Corvus's cloud environment. Expel's main responsibility became providing MDR services and supporting Corvus' existing team. Expel's integration with a wide range of security technologies was particularly appreciated by Rebholz, who did not want to be limited by the solutions they used. Expel's alert context was also seen as valuable intelligence that Corvus's customers could use for their own security strategies. Furthermore, Expel's presence allowed Corvus to continue building out their organization, improving their engineering, architecture, governance, risk management, and compliance functions. Expel's ability to quickly respond to alerts and collaborate with Corvus's team was also highlighted as a key benefit. Finally, Expel's unique capability to analyze security and non-security data along with business context was seen as a critical advantage.

Real-time In-vehicle Monitoring
The telematic solution provides this vital premium-adjusting information. The solution also helps detect and deter vehicle or trailer theft – as soon as a theft occurs, monitoring personnel can alert the appropriate authorities, providing an exact location.“With more and more insurance companies and major fleet operators interested in monitoring driver behaviour on the grounds of road safety, efficient logistics and costs, the market for this type of device and associated e-business services is growing rapidly within Italy and the rest of Europe,” says Franco.“The insurance companies are especially interested in the pay-per-use and pay-as-you-drive applications while other organisations employ the technology for road user charging.”“One million vehicles in Italy currently carry such devices and forecasts indicate that the European market will increase tenfold by 2014.However, for our technology to work effectively, we needed a highly reliable wireless data network to carry the information between the vehicles and monitoring stations.”

Smooth Transition to Energy Savings
The building was equipped with four end-of-life Trane water cooled chillers, located in the basement. Johnson Controls installed four York water cooled centrifugal chillers with unit mounted variable speed drives and a total installed cooling capacity of 6,8 MW. Each chiller has a capacity of 1,6 MW (variable to 1.9MW depending upon condenser water temperatures). Johnson Controls needed to design the equipment in such way that it would fit the dimensional constraints of the existing plant area and plant access route but also the specific performance requirements of the client. Morgan Stanley required the chiller plant to match the building load profile, turn down to match the low load requirement when needed and provide an improvement in the Energy Efficiency Ratio across the entire operating range. Other requirements were a reduction in the chiller noise level to improve the working environment in the plant room and a wide operating envelope coupled with intelligent controls to allow possible variation in both flow rate and temperature. The latter was needed to leverage increased capacity from a reduced number of machines during the different installation phases and allow future enhancement to a variable primary flow system.

Automated Pallet Labeling Solution for SPR Packaging
SPR Packaging, an American supplier of packaging solutions, was in search of an automated pallet labeling solution that could meet their immediate and future needs. They aimed to equip their lines with automatic printer applicators, but also required a solution that could interface with their accounting software. The challenge was to find a system that could read a 2D code on pallets at the stretch wrapper, track the pallet, and flag any pallets with unread barcodes for inspection. The pallets could be single or double stacked, and the system needed to be able to differentiate between the two. SPR Packaging sought a system integrator with extensive experience in advanced printing and tracking solutions to provide a complete traceability system.

Transforming insurance pricing while improving driver safety
The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the car insurance industry on a scale not seen since the introduction of the car itself. For decades, premiums have been calculated using proxy-based risk assessment models and historical data. Today, a growing number of innovative companies such as Quebec-based Industrielle Alliance are moving to usage-based insurance (UBI) models, driven by the advancement of telematics technologies and smart tracking devices.
