Risk Technology Awards 2020

Risk software is designed for bad times – but not bad times like these. The Covid-19 (coronavirus) pandemic – defined by huge uncertainty about policy effectiveness, human behaviour, and the timeline for successful treatments and a vaccine – is a crisis like no other, testing the resilience, responsiveness and flexibility of risk systems and the companies that use them. 

Some of this year’s Risk Technology Awards winners had to scramble – overhauling products that were instantly rendered inappropriate or irrelevant by the scale of the disruption. Other products and services still worked, but needed a new layer of intervention and interpretation to be applied.
