Zurich cuts risk with home-security tech
Zurich Insurance has signed a partnership with smart-tech company Cocoon to create an all-inclusive home security system. Using machine learning and infrasound wave detection, Cocoon's systems continually attune themselves to the unique sound signature of a home, using an array of sensors and a video feed to inform users of any possible leaks and security risks via their smartphones. Such technology allows insurers to offer lower premiums to those customers willing to reduce risk.

Insurer says initiative is part of its investment in innovation and future technologies.
