Penny Black's Insurance Week - 26 November 2015

At a recent event, Aviva’s Andrew Brem told Penny and other guests how a thief grabbed all the phones, before becoming intrigued by another device that was standing there: an enigmatic black and white tower. Unaware he was examining a Canary security system, the petty criminal brought it close enough to his face to give it a perfect view of his guilty traits. Brem couldn’t help laughing, recounting how impressed the police were with the quality of the selfie. The event was taking place at Aviva’s Digital Garage, on Hoxton Square in London, where the insurer had gathered analysts and journalists to demonstrate some of its data innovations.
