Abstract: Abstract The risk landscape of insurance companies is quite diverse: it stretches from insurance and investment risks to operational and regulatory risks, not to mention the risks (and chances) involved in generating integrated information technology infrastructures. In this paper, multiple levels of risks are discussed with the most aggregate one comprising the risks of insurance companies and their management. Risks transferred from customers to be managed by insurers make up the least aggregate level.
