HIVE Underwriters, an independent specialty managing general agent (MGA), has expanded its network of intelligence partners with the addition of Dragonfly Intelligence, a global intelligence and security risk advisory firm, to strengthen aviation security risk management.
Dragonfly Intelligence, part of Dow Jones Global Risk Insights, provides geopolitical and security intelligence to crisis management, security and risk professionals, helping decision-makers at multinational companies and airlines address complex business and operational challenges.
Dragonfly is also an established geopolitical and security intelligence provider for the aviation sector, with several of the world’s largest airlines among its clients.
By combining HIVE’s deep sector underwriting expertise with Dragonfly’s intelligence-led monitoring and assessment capabilities, the collaboration aims to create a more robust framework for aviation security risk management.
As part of the collaboration, accounts that subscribe to Dragonfly’s Security Intelligence & Analysis Service to better manage security risks will be offered a discount on their insurance premium where HIVE holds the lead underwriting position.
For airlines without dedicated security risk monitoring capabilities, HIVE’s collaboration with Dragonfly offers a practical solution to enhance oversight and support more informed, forward-looking risk management frameworks.
David Langran, Class Underwriter at HIVE Underwriters, said, “At HIVE, we are constantly seeking new ways to enhance the value we offer our clients and broker partners. Adding to our ecosystem of intelligence partners with the expertise and technology of the Dragonfly team enables us to offer advanced forward-looking security risk mitigation support to those accounts where we take a lead position on risk. This collaboration supports airlines, particularly those without in-house security analysis, in building more robust, data-led risk management programmes. It’s another way we help our clients operate with greater confidence in an increasingly complex world.”
Henry Wilkinson, Chief Intelligence Officer at Dragonfly, commented, “This closer collaboration marks a step forward in helping our airline clients. By aligning Dragonfly’s forward-looking intelligence with HIVE’s underwriting leadership, we’re enabling airlines and their insurers to implement more robust, data-informed risk management programmes. The aviation sector faces an increasingly complex threat environment, and through this collaboration with the Hive team, we’re helping clients stay ahead of emerging risks.”
