DUBLIN, Sept. 7, 2026 – Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, today announced the launch of its Digital Infrastructure Risk Aggregator (DIRA) to help insurer clients gain a clearer view of digital infrastructure exposures, identify accumulation risk and make more informed underwriting, reinsurance and capital deployment decisions.
As investment in data centers and other digital infrastructure assets accelerates, insurers need better visibility into how exposure is concentrated across portfolios, operators, geographies and interconnected infrastructure. Aon’s Digital Infrastructure Risk Aggregator combines exposure analysis, market context and Risk Capital expertise to help insurers move from individual asset reviews to a more consistent portfolio view. Delivered on a quarterly or annual basis, DIRA helps clients monitor changing exposures in their evolving portfolios and seize market opportunities.
The solution helps insurer clients evaluate growth opportunities in a rapidly evolving asset class while managing concentration risk. By connecting digital infrastructure locations with Aon’s Risk Analytics Platform, DIRA provides a consistent view of location-level exposure and potential risk impact across property portfolios. This methodology supports internal aggregation management and strengthens data used for reinsurance placement discussions.
“Digital infrastructure is creating meaningful opportunity for insurers, but profitable growth depends on the ability to understand exposure at a portfolio level and translate those insights into action,” said Dave Nicholson, Global Client Leader, Reinsurance, Aon. “Our Digital Infrastructure Risk Aggregator helps clients identify concentration risk, benchmark their market position and shape underwriting, reinsurance and capital strategies with greater clarity and confidence. It is the latest example of how Aon’s investments in technology are helping to mobilize capital and make risk quantifiable, investible and transferable.”
For chief underwriting officers, exposure management teams, reinsurance buyers and catastrophe modelling teams, the solution provides a structured approach to understanding data-center and wider digital infrastructure risk. It helps clients identify where they may be over- or under-participating relative to market opportunity, and where specific assets, campuses or operators could affect portfolio volatility, earnings stability or reinsurance strategy.
Aon’s Digital Infrastructure Risk Aggregator helps insurer clients in the following key areas:
- Gain a more consistent view of exposure: Identify digital infrastructure assets across portfolios and support clearer internal risk management and reinsurance market communication.
- Detect concentration and accumulation risk: Reveal exposures across geographies, operators, lines of business and related dependencies that may contribute to volatility.
- Benchmark market position: Compare participation against broader market opportunity and expected digital infrastructure growth.
- Inform capital deployment decisions: Use portfolio insight to inform underwriting strategy, risk appetite, reinsurance structures and growth decisions.
Aon’s approach combines digital infrastructure expertise, analytics and Risk Capital capabilities to help clients translate portfolio insight into business outcomes. For example, the solution can highlight a single data-center campus carrying insured values above market benchmarks and show how that outlier affects accumulation, enabling insurers to consider actions such as facultative reinsurance or revised portfolio appetite.
“Our Digital Infrastructure Risk Aggregator tool demonstrates how Aon is helping insurers evaluate digital infrastructure risk with greater consistency and transparency,” said Dan Raizman, Global Head of Client Engagement, Climate Risk Advisory, Aon. “Combined with Aon’s Risk Analytics Platform, the solution gives clients location-level insights that can strengthen underwriting, portfolio management and reinsurance decision making.”
DIRA is available to insurer clients seeking sample portfolio reviews or ongoing monitoring. Its launch follows Aon’s recently announced update to its Risk Analytics Platform to include new underwriting functionality.
