SmartStream Brings AI-Powered Data Management to the Insurance Sector
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SmartStream, the financial Transaction Lifecycle Management (TLM ®) and solutions provider, has announced the expansion of its AI-driven reconciliation and data management platform, SmartStream Air, into the insurance sector. This move aims to help insurers tackle fragmented data challenges, reduce operational costs, and strengthen compliance through robust audit trails.
As the insurance industry struggles with limited digital maturity, it faces mounting pressure from increasing transaction volumes, persistent data quality issues, and the complex demands of evolving regulations such as IFRS 17 and DORA. In this environment, the need for advanced, rapidly deployable SaaS data management solutions has never been more urgent. Addressing these challenges requires a fundamental transformation in how insurers manage systems, streamline operations, and ensure data integrity across the enterprise.
SmartStream Air leverages cutting-edge AI to reconcile and manage high volumes of data, for example across payments, reimbursements, claims, policyholder transactions, and investment operations. The platform enables insurers to rapidly identify exceptions and resolve discrepancies - regardless of data format or source – in a matter of seconds.
Robin Hasson, Global Head of Reconciliations at SmartStream, states: 'Our heritage and experience in working with the world's top 100 banks, gives us a strong foundation to support the insurance sector as firms identify use cases for increased automation. We're already partnering with leading insurers to implement AI-powered solutions that enable data-driven agility. In today's environment, insurers must respond swiftly to market shifts and customer expectations, or risk falling behind due to inefficiencies and increased exposure.'
Karlyn Carnahan, Insurance Practice Leader, Head of North American Research, Celent, states: 'Celent expects 2025 to be a transformative year in insurance, buoyed by a clarity of purpose around efficiency and growth and with lessons in technology strategy, partnerships, and market dynamics from the past several years of chaos absorbed. While getting arms around AI from a compliance and use case perspective is difficult, deploying proven technologies from other industries to support it will help insurers achieve their goals to grow efficiently and set up for the next several decades of business.'
Deployed as a SaaS solution, SmartStream Air is flexible enough to offer a comprehensive suite of capabilities tailored to insurance operations, including: premium collection and processing, commission payments, claims management, financial reporting, reinsurance settlements, policyholder refunds, investment account reconciliation, data integration and validation, risk and reserve management, expense tracking, and fraud detection.
With this expansion, SmartStream is positioning itself as a key enabler of digital transformation in insurance, helping firms modernise operations and meet the demands of a data-intensive future.
By helping its customers through their transformative digital strategies, SmartStream provides a range of solutions for the transaction lifecycle with AI and machine learning technologies embedded - which can be deployed in the cloud or as managed services.

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Securonix, a five-time Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), announced the acquisition of ThreatQuotient, a four-time leader in threat intelligence based on QKS Group Spark Matrix report and the force behind ThreatQ, the most innovative external threat intelligence platform. This combination will create a comprehensive, modular, and fully integrated AI-driven platform for threat detection, investigation, and response (TDIR), leveraging advanced analytics and insights across both internal and external threats. This acquisition accelerates the modernization of security operations by uniting internal and external threat intelligence with real-time analytics and agentic AI. Unlike external threat intelligence bolt-on solutions with disconnected management interfaces, the integrated platform from Securonix and ThreatQuotient will deliver unified visibility, faster response, and greater operational clarity. "Bringing threat intelligence management and SIEM together in a unified platform is a game changer. We've already seen the value of deeply enriched advanced analytics and detection in our Securonix SIEM environment—but coupling that with integrated threat curation, prioritization, and response should help customers move even faster. It means fewer swivel-chair investigations, more accurate triage, and greater confidence that security analysts are working with the most relevant threats. This kind of integration has the potential to accelerate the ability to detect, respond, and stay ahead," said Marcel Jonker, Director of Cybersecurity Operations at Cambia Health Systems. The integration of Securonix and ThreatQuotient promises to deliver up to a 70% reduction in Mean Time to Respond (MTTR), enabling security teams to detect, investigate, and remediate threats significantly faster. By combining curated threat intelligence with AI-driven automation, the solution will deliver exponential improvements in filtering out false positives, enriching alerts with actionable context, and automating historical threat sweeps and incident response. This reduces alert overload, speeds up root cause analysis, and minimizes manual handoffs—cutting investigation time from hours to minutes and enabling automated containment before threats escalate. 'Security teams are drowning in noise and struggling to keep up with evolving threats,' said Kash Shaikh, CEO and President of Securonix. 'This acquisition brings together Securonix's Agentic AI-driven Platform with ThreatQuotient's deep threat intelligence to deliver clarity, speed, and automated workflows to our customers, reducing false positives by up to 90%. Together, we're building the modern SOC Platform—proactive, intelligent, and built for what's next.' Kash added, 'Securonix and ThreatQuotient bring together complementary strengths—deep innovation across internal and external threat domains, and a shared commitment to innovation and customer service. Both companies serve enterprise and government customers as well as managed security service providers (MSSPs), and we're excited to welcome the talented ThreatQuotient team and their customers to Securonix.' Purpose-Built for Analysts. Proven Against Real-World Threats. ThreatQuotient's Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) strength lies in delivering curated, contextualized threat intelligence that drives smart, timely decisions. When combined with Securonix's EON Agentic AI-based SIEM, SOAR, UEBA and Data Pipeline Manager, customers can accelerate their migration from reactive threat hunting-based defense to proactive, real-time, behavior-driven, open-agentic security operations. With this integration, Securonix customers and partners will enjoy the following benefits: Gain clear visibility: Integrate deep enriched real-time analytics from Securonix with curated external intelligence from ThreatQuotient to create a single, high-context stream of alerts. Eliminate blind spots and accelerate threat identification with confidence. Stay ahead of risk: Auto-enrich Indicator of compromise (IoCs) and preemptively respond to repeat attacks, blocking 90 percent before they start. Act smarter: Automate repetitive tasks, reduce false positives, and streamline investigations. Teams can stay focused on high-priority threats and reduce time spent on manual triage. Deploy your way: Continue to use ThreatQ as a standalone threat intelligence platform or as part of the fully integrated Securonix solution. Deploy on-premise or SaaS in a way that fits the current architecture and scales with needs. Accelerated Roadmap: Combined R&D synergies will accelerate upcoming roadmap innovations, including Agentic AI and ThreatQuotient's innovation priorities. With this acquisition, ThreatQuotient customers and partners will enjoy the following benefits: Increased Scale: ThreatQ customers can take advantage of Securonix's global R&D scale and GTM reach, including access to Securonix's Threat Labs Intelligence. Deeper Integrations: Gain access to an enriched roadmap and integration between Securonix's best-in-class SIEM, SOAR, and UEBA portfolio and ThreatQ, including extension of Agentic AI advancements. Continued Focus: Zero interruption of their existing service, as ThreatQuotient will continue to operate as a standalone offering, with no disruption to existing roadmap and workflows. 'Enterprises, government institutions and managed security service providers rely on ThreatQuotient to protect their mission critical businesses. Joining Securonix marks a powerful new chapter for ThreatQuotient. By uniting our strengths, we can accelerate innovation, expand our reach, and deliver greater value to our customers.
