Company profile
researched Aug 2026Coalition is a San Francisco-headquartered provider of cyber insurance and cybersecurity services. Its core offering, which it calls Active Insurance, bundles insurance coverage with cybersecurity tooling, threat intelligence, around-the-clock digital forensics and incident response, and a claims process aimed at digital risks such as ransomware, funds transfer fraud, and phishing. Alongside Active Cyber Insurance the company has offered Active Executive Risks Insurance and property & casualty insurance, plus standalone security products including the Coalition Control risk management platform, vulnerability management, security training, managed detection and response, and Wirespeed [0][1][2][3][6].
The company partners with traditional carriers and reinsurers rather than bearing full underwriting risk, retaining roughly 10% of the financial risk according to Forbes; named backers/capacity providers include Allianz, Swiss Re Corporate Solutions, Arch Insurance North America, Lloyd's of London, and Ascot Group [3][4]. Coalition describes itself as one of the largest cyber insurance and security providers in the United States and Canada, and Forbes characterizes it as the largest startup offering cyber insurance with proactive monitoring tools [3][4].
Coalition also operates an affiliate, Coalition Incident Response, and maintains a knowledge center publishing annual Cyber Claims Reports and threat research [0][2]. It describes itself as a distributed company with a global workforce collaborating digitally and through office hubs [3].
