MSI Launches Cyber Insurance Program for Managed Care Organizations
Due to the highly sensitive data that managed care organizations collect and manage, they remain an attractive target for cybercriminals. In addition, MCOs as a class have been generally underserved in the cyber market, especially on a primary basis, due to their perceived risk and overall complexity.
'Our new cyber program for managed care organizations reflects our ongoing mission to bring forward-thinking solutions to underserved sectors,' said Rajiv Matta, Chief Innovation Officer of MGA Programs at MSI. 'At MSI, innovation means building solutions that address real, unmet needs in the market. This cyber program is an example of our commitment to delivering much needed specialized solutions.'
As a Lloyd's approved coverholder with delegated underwriting authority, MSI is offering a cyber solution that reflects the needs of health insurers, including:
Limits up to $25 million for primary and excess placements for privacy and cyber liability with technology errors and omissions and miscellaneous professional liability
Access to flexible risk management services and a market-leading breach response panel, including forensic analysts, privacy and defense counsel, and breach coaches
Underwriting experts with highly specialized knowledge that is essential to understanding the risk profile of MCOs
Tim LeMarbre, Senior Vice President, Cyber Product Leader at MSI, and Tammy Kocher, Vice President, Head of Cyber Underwriting at MSI, will lead and underwrite this new program, bringing a combined 40 years of underwriting experience.
'MSI Cyber for Managed Care Organizations was developed with a deep understanding of the evolving threats and challenges that managed care organizations face,' LeMarbre said. 'We are proud to unveil a dedicated, high-capacity solution with the flexibility to deploy our significant limits wherever it is needed in an insurance program.'
This launch builds on MSI's goal of expanding its suite of more than 20 products and solutions across personal, commercial, and professional lines to address the evolving needs of its customers, agents, and brokers. MSI Cyber for Managed Care Organizations is the first of multiple cyber programs that the company plans to offer, leveraging the extensive underwriting experience of its cyber team.

I love the MSI Claw A8, but its price proves PC handhelds are officially going off the rails — here's why
There's a very real chance that PC gaming handhelds could cost a thousand dollars as standard, and the pre-order pricing for the MSI Claw A8 with AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme proves it. As confirmed by MSI, the new handheld is launching this month, and preorders have started in Asia on MSI's store, and the price given is 6,999 RMB. There is a lower price, that's offered via the Chinese government's 15% subsidy on consumer tech, which means you could get it for 5,949 RMB. But when flipped to USD, that subsidized cost is just under $740, and without, that skyrockets to $860. Pop sales tax on top and we're talking a thousand bucks. Now I know gaming handhelds can be expensive, but if we're at a point where they could be vastly more expensive than vastly more powerful gaming laptops, something's gone wrong here. If you want my personal recommendations on what to get instead, tap here to jump on down to those (including some tasty Prime Day deals). But for those of you who want more context on what just got revealed, let's talk about it. Everything seems largely the same as what I tested at Computex — giant 80Wh battery, all the same ports, a 1200p display (which we now know has a 500-nit peak brightness). But seeing WiFi 7 is a surprise. Previously, MSI confirmed to me that this was rocking WiFi 6E, so for online gaming, this has now become an altogether stronger machine. I'm a big fan of that. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. That doesn't take away from the inflationary pressure being felt by this potential price. Of course, there will be a variation . We're talking about the price in China here, with one version coming with the government's 15% subsidy, and the higher price including sales tax. But with the current global climate, I dare say that we could see that price go up. For example, the Intel-based MSI Claw 8 AI+ is priced the same as this AMD counterpart in China. The MSRP over here is $999, and when you take into account just what kind of gaming hardware you could get for a thousand bucks, that's where I start to fear that PC gaming handhelds are going off the rails. And it makes me especially nervous about the ROG Xbox Ally X. The simple answer is get a gaming laptop. But allow me to go into both scenarios here: Don't let that 0.9-inch thinness deceive you — the MSI Thin is a powerful beast with AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS, RTX 4060 GPU, 16GB of super fast DDR5 RAM and a spacious 1TB SSD. Pair that with a 15-inch 1080p 144Hz display for fluid gaming and you've got a stellar system at its cheapest ever price. Inside, you get an Intel Core i5-13420H CPU, RTX 4050, 16GB of DDR4 RAM and a 512GB SSD. This is enough to run AAA games at 1080p medium settings and squeeze 60 FPS out of them. In my hands-on time with the MSI Claw A8, I talked about how pricing being unknown makes me a bit nervous. Looking at the decent performance gains with AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme in a bubble of not thinking about cost was impressive, but the price tag has to be fair. And put simply, if this pricing translates the way I'm thinking over to the U.S. and U.K., this ain't it. Handheld gaming does come with a premium, I get that. But not this kind of premium. If the Steam Deck proved anything, it's that you can get surprisingly impressive gaming performance from lower power (and lower cost) internals. And I can only cross my fingers and hope that $1,000 doesn't become the new defacto standard for handhelds.

AI is helping small businesses increase productivity. Here's a look inside the computing hardware helping power it.
Businesses across industries are increasing their AI usage. AI workloads require hardware equipped with powerful processors that can handle these tasks. Responsible and sustainable AI adoption is key to business success. Most tech-savvy observers understand that AI is transforming large enterprises across functions such as customer service, HR, and the supply chain. Chatbots and virtual assistants are now powered by large language models (LLMs) that respond to nearly any natural-language query. These models are trained on business-specific data to provide targeted, accurate answers. According to a poll from the US Chamber of Commerce and Teneo, 98% of small businesses now use AI-enabled software, and 40 % of them employ generative tools like chatbots and image creators to cut costs and speed workflows. But AI isn't just making a splash at big corporations: a new generation of everyday business hardware and operating systems is putting AI in the hands of business owners of all sizes, with applications across a wide range of business functions. Business computing systems for the AI era Andrew Wan, product manager at MSI, has a front-row seat to the transformative impact of AI across industries. He explains that what was once a buzzword is now a practical, everyday tool. In fact, 91% of SMBs that have adopted AI say it's driven measurable revenue growth, according to a survey of 3,350 business leaders from Salesforce. For example, in marketing, AI is powering smarter, more personalized campaigns. Content teams are creating, tweaking, and repurposing material at incredible speeds. Meanwhile, in law, AI is cutting down the time needed for research and contract reviews. The classroom and the clinic are also seeing significant benefits. In education, AI is making learning more flexible, while In healthcare, AI is improving diagnoses and patient care. Across fields, AI boosts productivity and enables people to focus on the work that really matters. AI-ready computing hardware Many business owners have questions about the suitability of their legacy systems in this new AI era. According to Wan, MSI's latest technology is designed to help everyday business users take full advantage of AI. The Cubi NUC AI+ 2M, for example, include the next-generation Intel® Lunar Lake processors, featuring on-chip NPU and GPU cores which provide efficient, on-device AI computing. These compact systems also include Microsoft Copilot+, an AI-powered assistant designed to help teams work smarter. And it's not just enthusiasts leveraging AI: 27% of SMBs have "significantly accelerated" tech spending because of AI needs, with another 35% "slightly accelerating" their investments — underscoring why on-device NPUs and GPUs are so critical. MSI's new desktop models also come with Windows 11 Pro pre-installed, offering businesses a smoother upgrade path from Windows 10 as Microsoft's October migration deadline looms. A real business impact AI is already improving productivity and business outcomes at many organizations. Early adopters in small and mid-sized businesses are seeing real gains by automating repetitive workflows that free up valuable time and resources. "We're hearing about tangible improvements in productivity, customer satisfaction, and even employee engagement as teams are empowered by technology that supports their goals," Wan said. Although AI has already had a profound impact on businesses, Wan believes we've only scratched the surface of its potential. Over the next year, he expects AI to become even more embedded in everyday workflows, especially through smart devices that offer real-time insights while keeping data private and secure. "Fast forward five years, and AI won't just be a helpful tool — it'll be at the heart of how businesses run," he said. "It'll shape strategies, spark new revenue ideas, and open doors to ways of working we haven't even imagined yet. The companies that start laying the groundwork now with AI-friendly systems will be the ones setting the pace in this smarter, more connected future." AI for good Of course, for all of the opportunities AI affords businesses, there are also a number of risks to watch out for. Wan says MSI is committed to responsible adoption of AI, and its suite of AI-powered computing products have been designed with sustainability in mind. "We've built in a three-year Advance Replacement Warranty, which means virtually zero downtime," Wan said. "And by focusing on energy-efficient design, we're helping businesses reduce their environmental footprint while embracing the future of work." 77% of small businesses plan to adopt new digital technologies — including AI and even metaverse tools — within the next year, making energy-efficient hardware and robust warranties like MSI's Advance Replacement critical for minimizing both downtime and environmental impact. "As we build toward a more intelligent future, we believe it's just as important to build a more sustainable one," Wan said.
