Verisk는 1,000개 이상의 미국 데이터 센터에 대한 상세한 지리적 및 운영 데이터를 포함한 새로운 '미국 데이터 센터 노출 데이터베이스'를 출시했다.

Boston, September 3, 2026. Verisk, listed on Nasdaq under the ticker VRSK, announced the launch of the U.S. Data Center Exposure Database to assist insurers, reinsurers, and brokers in managing one of the fastest-growing concentrations of risk. The database provides building-level geocoding, facility footprints, physical characteristics, and operational attributes for more than 2,500 facilities across the United States. This release coincides with a surge in artificial intelligence-driven investment in digital infrastructure, with industry sources projecting that global data center insurance premiums could rise from approximately $10 billion in 2026 to $23 billion by 2030.

Data centers represent emerging critical infrastructure housing billions of dollars in physical assets while supporting essential business, government, and digital operations. Insurers frequently face challenges due to incomplete or inconsistent location data when evaluating exposure concentrations, catastrophe risk, and portfolio accumulations. To address this, Verisk developed the database to offer an in-depth view of this asset class. It includes rooftop-level geocoding, building footprint data, construction type, floor area, capacity, and operational redundancy characteristics, though available data fields and levels of detail may vary by facility and source. The dataset is delivered through flat-file records, building footprint shapefiles, and a 90-meter disaggregation grid to support advanced geospatial analytics and catastrophe modeling. It is designed to facilitate underwriting, exposure management, catastrophe analytics, and portfolio accumulation assessments within Verisk Synergy Studio and Touchstone.

Rob Newbold, president of Verisk Catastrophe and Risk Solutions, said, “AI is often discussed as a digital transformation story, but it is increasingly a physical infrastructure story.” He added, “The facilities powering that growth represent billions of dollars in concentrated assets, and that has implications not only for insurers but also for reinsurers, investors and capital markets participants looking to understand and manage emerging sources of potential risk.” Jay Guin, executive vice president and chief research officer of Verisk Catastrophe and Risk Solutions, stated, "Data centers have quietly become one of the largest and fastest-growing concentrations of insured value in the modern economy." He continued, "Organizations are investing billions of dollars to support AI-driven growth, but many insurers are increasingly focused on understanding where these assets are located and how risk accumulates across regions and portfolios. If you can't identify the exposure, you can't effectively measure or manage it. This data set is designed to provide additional information to support those efforts." Guin concluded, “Data centers are ultimately physical facilities with real-world exposure to hurricanes, flooding, severe convective storms, earthquakes and other perils. As AI infrastructure continues expanding across the United States, understanding where those assets are located and how risks aggregate becomes increasingly important to insurers, businesses and communities alike.”

The Verisk U.S. Data Center Exposure Database is now available to insurers, reinsurers, brokers, and other risk management organizations through Verisk’s catastrophe modeling software, specifically Verisk Synergy Studio and Touchstone. The database was developed by AIR Worldwide Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Verisk Analytics, Inc. Verisk describes itself as a leading strategic data analytics and technology partner to the global insurance industry, helping clients improve efficiency, underwriting, claims outcomes, and risk decision-making through advanced analytics and scientific research.
