Coalition Insurance Review 2026: Active Cyber Insurance
Coalition is the company that turned cyber insurance from a policy you file a claim against into a service that tries to stop the claim from happening. It calls the model Active Insurance: coverage bundled with security technology that monitors, alerts, and responds. This is an independent profile from QuoteSweep, which maps the modern commercial insurance landscape for independent agents and business owners. QuoteSweep does not compete with Coalition.
TL;DR: Coalition (coalitioninc.com) is the leading cyber insurance provider, built around Active Insurance — coverage paired with security tooling that helps businesses prevent and respond to attacks. It writes cyber, technology E&O, executive risks, and miscellaneous professional liability, distributed through appointed brokers and backed by A-rated capacity (Allianz, Swiss Re, Lloyd's, Zurich, and others). Per reporting it raised a $250M Series F at a $5B valuation in 2022.
What Coalition is
Coalition's pitch is that "traditional insurance wasn't built for cyber threats that evolve daily," so it pairs the policy with active defense. Every policyholder gets access to Coalition Control®, a cyber-risk platform, along with continuous vulnerability and dark-web monitoring, AI-powered email-fraud alerts, and Wirespeed, its managed detection and response (MDR) product. When something does go wrong, Coalition Incident Response brings in digital-forensics and incident expertise. The insurance and the security tooling are meant to work as one system.
Who Coalition is for
Coalition serves a wide range — from SMEs buying Active Cyber Insurance to enterprises with their own security teams — and works heavily through brokers, managed service providers, and value-added resellers. In practice it fits any business that wants cyber coverage that comes with tooling to reduce the risk, rather than a bare policy.

How Coalition compares
- vs. At-Bay: both pair cyber coverage with security services; Coalition has the broader product set (executive risks, MPL, AI) and the larger capacity panel, while At-Bay leans hard into bundled MDR ("InsurSec") on Munich Re-backed paper.
- vs. a full-stack startup carrier (Corgi): Corgi packages cyber into a broader startup insurance stack it underwrites end-to-end; Coalition is a cyber specialist distributed through brokers, with security tooling as the differentiator.
