Aon Launches Cyber Risk Analyzer to Mitigate Clients’ Cyber Risk Exposure
- Tool enables risk managers, brokers and CISOs to better evaluate cyber risk and maximize insurance value
- Cyber Risk Analyzer is the latest release under Aon Actionable Analytics, which already includes Property Risk, Casualty Risk, D&O Risk and Health Risk analyzers
CHICAGO, Nov. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, today launched its Cyber Risk Analyzer, a digital application that allows risk managers to make data-driven, technology-enabled decisions to mitigate cyber risk. The tool is the latest in a series of new offerings, which brings together Aon’s data, tools and analytics professionals to support clients through an evolving risk landscape across sectors.
“As cyber threats continue to grow in frequency, sophistication and severity, organizations face an array of complex risks—from ransomware and business interruption to insider threats and data breaches,” said Christian Hoffman, global specialty and financial products leader for Aon. “Compounding these risks are increased litigation pressures, shifting regulatory landscapes, and heightened scrutiny from shareholders. We designed Aon’s Cyber Risk Analyzer to address these challenges and help clients evaluate and quantify their enterprise cyber risk, enabling them to make better decisions.”
Aon’s Cyber Risk Analyzer allows Aon’s clients and brokers unique access to:
- Loss Forecasting: Model detailed loss scenarios faster, including privacy or data breach and system failure. The analyzer incorporates Aon’s customized proprietary simulation modeling approach based on internal claims insights, independent research by Aon’s Cyber Risk Consulting team and findings from bespoke cyber modeling engagements.
- Exposure Assessment: Integrate with other proprietary Aon tools, including Aon’s Cyber Quotient Evaluation platform (CyQu), to obtain a holistic assessment of a client’s exposures and security controls.
- Total Cost of Risk (TCOR) Analysis: Overlay loss forecasts with customized insurance options to produce TCOR and Catastrophic TCOR analyses.
These capabilities enable brokers to provide risk managers, chief information security officers and corporate leaders a view of the changing cyber risk environment so they can make informed decisions around risk transfer versus risk retention on their balance sheets. Client risk managers will be empowered to deliver insights on optimal insurance capital allocation decisions to their boards of directors and corporate officers.
Empowering Clients with Actionable Insights
The launch of Aon’s Cyber Risk Analyzer follows the 2024 debuts of the firm’s Property Risk Analyzer, Casualty Risk Analyzer, D&O Risk Analyzer and Health Risk Analyzer, that provide exposure visualizations and model potential losses to help Aon’s clients make better informed decisions about their risk and insurance options. The analytics tools are designed by Aon’s Risk Capital and Human Capital capabilities in collaboration with Aon Business Services to provide Aon clients with actionable insights that allow for greater control over their insurance program structure.
“Aon’s Cyber Risk Analyzer builds on Aon’s commitment to equipping clients with insights that enable data-driven decisions,” said Joe Peiser, global CEO of Commercial Risk Solutions for Aon. “As the risk landscape becomes increasingly complex, our team delivers actionable analytics that help our clients confidently evaluate risks and insurance options.”

Aramco, SINOPEC, and Fujian Petrochemical break ground on new refining and petrochemical project in China
- Greenfield project is expected to be fully operational by end of 2030
- Integrated refining and petrochemical project aims to maximize chemical output
- Complex expected to supply around five million tons per year of feedstock to Gulei Petrochemical Base
DHAHRAN, Saudi Arabia, Nov. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Aramco, one of the world’s leading integrated energy and chemicals companies, China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (SINOPEC), and Fujian Petrochemical Company Limited (FPCL) have today broken ground on a new integrated refining and petrochemical complex in Fujian Province, China.
The facility is planned to have a 16 million tons-per-year oil refining unit (320,000 barrels per day), a 1.5 million tons-per-year ethylene unit, a two million tons paraxylene and downstream derivatives capacity, and a 300,000 tons crude oil terminal. FPCL, a 50:50 joint venture between SINOPEC and Fujian Petrochemical Industrial Group Company, will own a 50% stake in the complex, with Aramco and SINOPEC each taking a 25% stake. The project is expected to be fully operational by the end of 2030.
Mohammed Y. Al Qahtani, Aramco Downstream President, said: “Building on our strong relationships with both SINOPEC and Fujian Petrochemical, today’s groundbreaking further expands Aramco’s growing downstream investment portfolio in China. We will supply in excess of one million barrels per day of our crude oil to these high chemical conversion assets in China, reinforcing Aramco’s role as a reliable and long-term partner in China’s development. This also advances our liquids-to-chemicals strategy, through which we intend to direct more of our crude towards helping meet rising global petrochemicals demand.”
Ma Yongsheng, SINOPEC Chairman, said: “Both SINOPEC and Aramco are committed to promoting the high-quality development of the petroleum and petrochemical industry. Aramco’s participation supplies long-term reliable and competitive feedstock for the project and further boosts the healthy development of Gulei Petrochemical Base. Successful cooperation in this project marks a new milestone in the China-Saudi all-weather strategic partnership, with a focus on greater domestic circulation and in line with the dual circulation strategy.”
