🏢 SafeInside Insurance is a cyber insurance Managing General Agent launched by Safe Security in December 2022, underwriting cyber risk using inside-out telemetry gathered via API integrations with customers' cloud and SaaS environments. The MGA is backed by an unnamed AM Best A-rated carrier and a panel of global reinsurance partners, and distributes through broker and agent appointments in the U.S. market, including the Howden SAFE+ partnership with Chubb, Mosaic Insurance, and Liberty Specialty Markets for enterprise clients. Group-level venture funding for parent entity SAFE Securities Inc. exceeds $170M following a $70M Series C in July 2025, though SafeInside Insurance's standalone capitalization, licensing status, and underwriting KPIs remain undisclosed in public sources.
