SINGAPORE - Blackpanda, Asia's leading cyber incident response company, today confirmed a collaboration with CyberCube to bring cyber risk analytics to brokers across Asia. The collaboration pairs CyberCube's Broking Manager platform with Blackpanda's incident response presence in the region. Brokers gain the analysis to advise clients on cyber cover, and their clients gain a local team to call when a cyber incident happens.

Brokers in Asia can request an introduction to Broking Manager through Blackpanda.

Cyber risk models used across Asia have typically been benchmarked against a single global average. Broking Manager, CyberCube's cyber risk analytics platform for brokers used across 40 countries, includes an APAC regional view alongside its loss severity, incident frequency, and security posture benchmarks. As a result, peer comparisons reflect the markets that brokers' clients actually operate in.

The collaboration has four strands:

• Refer: Blackpanda will introduce brokers across Asia to Broking Manager.
• License: Blackpanda will license Broking Manager for use with its own broker relationships.
• Respond: Blackpanda's incident response team is available to support brokers' clients during live cyber incidents.
• Research: CyberCube has licensed Blackpanda's aggregated, anonymised incident data for future regional research.

"Clients are asking their brokers harder questions about cyber exposure and how much cover is enough," said Gene Yu, Founder and CEO of Blackpanda. "Broking Manager gives brokers a structured way to answer them: the financial-loss analytics and peer-benchmarking insights they need to prepare for client conversations. When an incident happens, their clients can call on our responders, recognised by Frost & Sullivan as Asia-Pacific's incident response Company of the Year for three years running. Keeping advice and response this close together serves everyone in that conversation."

Nate Brink, Head of Broker Sales & Account Management at CyberCube, said: "Brokers across Asia have told us for years that a single global benchmark doesn't reflect what they're actually seeing in the market. This partnership brings Broking Manager's regional benchmarking to brokers across Asia, backed by Blackpanda's reach and incident response expertise in the region, so they can have a more grounded conversation with their clients about exposure and coverage."
