Virtually every established industry in the world presently involves risk transfer and massive insurance markets to absorb unexpected catastrophic financial or legal impacts, except for the cloud computing industry. Industries that rely on the insurance marketplace range from banking to property, energy to transportation; even the rental car industry relies on insurance for business-sustaining risk mitigation purposes. The cloud computing sector is an emerging industry with enormous promise with equally great unseen, aggregated financial liabilities. Prediction: The risk transfer marketplace for cloud computing will soon take hold through the powerful force of sheer, simple economics.
What do you get when you mash - for an entire weekend - the innovators of a globally respected brand like American Express with companies like Foursquare, Etsy, Mashery, Hyperpublic, NYC Open Data, Ordr.in, Constant Contact, and General Assembly? You get innovation. What do you get when you add roughly 100 freelance developers to the mix, spinning up new data and application concepts in amazingly social, self-organizing teams? You get the business of innovation. And that is why American Express OPEN Forum launched its first Open APIs at the "Reinventlocal" Hackathon this past weekend at General Assembly in New York City. The lesson for every Fortune 500 CEO: you need the innovation and energy of OPEN APIs and hackathons...even if you do not yet know how to monetize them.
Financial Risks Patterns in Cyber Space

Traditional industries that leverage insurance markets range from banking to property to energy to transportation- yes, even rental cars. However the cloud computing industry is an emerging aggregator industry with enormous promise and equally large unseen risks. Prediction: a massive risk transfer market for cloud-computing will soon take hold through the powerful force of sheer economics.
