Five specialist AI agents deliver complete underwriting assessments in minutes; first product on the DeRISK Intelligence Platform
BOSTON, MA — May 11, 2026 — DeNexus, Inc., the industrial cyber risk quantification company, today announced the public launch of DeRISK UWA Agentic — the first agentic AI underwriting platform built specifically for industrial cyber insurance. The platform is the first product on the DeRISK Intelligence Platform, a unified agentic AI architecture designed to serve industrials, insurers, and the broader risk transfer market.
DeRISK UWA Agentic uses five specialist AI agents coordinated by an Orchestration Agent to execute a complete underwriting assessment — from submission ingestion to actuarial output — in minutes. The platform produces expected loss, maximum foreseeable loss, full loss exceedance curves, premium indication, a structured insurance program, and mandatory binding conditions with deadlines. Every finding is traceable to its source document, pipeline step, and model version.
The platform is pre-trained on all standard cyber insurance questionnaires and applications in the market today — including specialized OT supplementals and ransomware supplementals — and ingests PDF, Excel, CSV, Word, and JSON formats.
Industrial cyber insurance — covering manufacturers, energy producers, utilities, and critical infrastructure operators — remains one of the most complex and least standardized segments of the cyber insurance market. Underwriters typically spend 10–30 hours on a complex industrial submission, with 60–80% of that time dedicated to data extraction rather than risk assessment. OT environments — control systems, SCADA networks, safety interlocks — are frequently assessed using IT-centric frameworks that fail to account for physical consequences including equipment damage, production shutdown, and safety events.
BCG's Agentic AI Maturity Framework for Insurance (March 2026) positions most carriers at Horizon 0–1 — rule-based automation or single-agent tools. DeRISK UWA Agentic deploys at Horizon 2–3 on day one, with orchestrated specialist agents executing end-to-end underwriting workflows. BCG's research explicitly recommends that specialist insurers pursue buy-and-integrate strategies for agentic AI capability rather than attempting to build from scratch.
DeRISK UWA Agentic is available in three tiers — Standard (triage), Professional (peer review), and Enterprise (bind + API integration) — with a phase-in approach designed for low-risk adoption. The platform is designed for regulatory compliance across four jurisdictions: US/NAIC, UK/FCA, Lloyd's, and EU/EIOPA.
DeRISK UWA Agentic is the first product on the DeRISK Intelligence Platform. Additional products are in development.
Chaucer Group, a Lloyd's syndicate with a specialist cyber underwriting book, participated in the DeRISK UWA Agentic early adopter program and has approved being named publicly as an early adopter.
DeNexus is building the global standard for industrial cyber risk quantification. The company's DeRISK platform serves industrial operators, insurers, and the risk transfer market with agentic AI-powered cyber risk quantification, threat intelligence, and underwriting automation. With 300+ CRQ implementations across two continents, DeNexus is the only company with a native OT cyber risk dataset built at the account level. For more information, visit denexus.io.
