The insurance sector is experiencing a moment of intense transformation, driven by technological innovation. At the heart of this revolution are three pillars: cloud computing, artificial intelligence and automation. The industry faces constant pressures: from growing consumer expectations for a more agile digital experience to changing risk models such as climate change.
To face these new demands, insurance companies need to reinvent themselves, modernizing their systems and adopting new technologies. Amazon Web Services (AWS), a global leader in cloud solutions, has been a critical partner for many companies in this sector, offering a range of tools that help overcome modern challenges and drive growth.
Cloud increases capacity and agility

A cloud infrastructure supports everything from product innovation to the transformation of internal processes. One of the areas most impacted by the cloud is risk management. Predicting weather events and other external risks has become more accurate with the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning.
AWS offers solutions like Amazon SageMaker and AWS Lambda that enable insurers to process large volumes of weather and historical data to identify patterns and create more effective predictive models. This not only helps prevent losses, but also allows insurers to personalize their offers to each customer’s profile.
“Cloud computing is essential for insurance companies to achieve many of their priorities, offering the agility, performance, scalability and security needed to thrive today and build for the future”, says Rodrigo Bessa, director of the Financial Services segment at AWS Brazil.

The adoption of cloud solutions also allows insurers to accelerate their digital transformation. Integrated platforms that combine robust infrastructure with advanced AI and data analytics tools enable insurers to quickly and efficiently modernize their core systems while reducing the complexity and costs associated with maintaining legacy solutions.
Process automation and cost reduction
With automation, insurers significantly reduce their operational costs. Tools such as Amazon Textract and Amazon Comprehend are used to automate policy data extraction and claims resolution, as well as enabling faster and more accurate document analysis. Implementing these solutions not only saves time, but also improves process accuracy, reducing the risk of human error.

Insurers are also increasingly focused on offering a personalized and efficient experience to their customers. , for example, facilitates the creation of chatbots and virtual assistants that are capable of interacting naturally and effectively with policyholders, providing more agile and accessible service. Tools like Amazon Lex and Amazon Polly, which offer natural language capabilities, have been widely used to improve customer communication and engagement.
Artificial intelligence and new models
As in all industries, generative artificial intelligence is emerging as one of the most promising technologies in the insurance sector. With the ability to create new business models and predict customer behaviors, generative AI can accelerate innovation and transform traditional business processes.
“Generative AI has the potential to accelerate innovation and transform business processes in the insurance industry”, highlights Bessa.

Companies like Itaú Unibanco and C6 Bank use AWS solutions to modernize their operations, improve the customer experience, and increase operational efficiency. These cases demonstrate the positive impact that cloud technology can have on the insurance sector, not only in terms of innovation, but also market competitiveness.
Sustainability and security
In addition to driving innovation and efficiency, AWS is also helping insurers become more sustainable. Cloud computing allows companies to reduce their environmental impact, as cloud solutions consume less energy than traditional data centers. This commitment to sustainability is increasingly important for consumers and companies seeking to adopt responsible practices.
Security is a central concern in the insurance industry, especially when it comes to sensitive data. AWS offers a world-class security infrastructure with features like encryption, continuous monitoring, and compliance with global regulations. This ensures that insurers can protect customer data and operate with confidence, even in a landscape of increasing cyber threats.
