Why our clients choose CyberCube
David Hallstrom & Nadia Hoyte
National Cyber Advisors
CyberCube provides USI with the tools to help clients make informed cyber limit and self-insured retention decisions. For example, CyberCube facilitates discussion on cyber aggregate loss potential from multiple threats in near real-time versus focusing predominately on historical peer purchasing patterns. Drilling down into multiple verticals, classes of business and company-specific risk management tools allows for even further customized solution builds – a must for modern cyber insurance placement.
Dan Burke, Senior Vice President
National Cyber Practice Leader
The beauty of taking (the CyberCube) approach to your customized risk is that most loss scenarios a company would face in a given year can be accounted for on the loss curve. Want to insure against 90% of your projected potential data breach losses? You can find that on the loss curve to know the proper cyber insurance limit to purchase.
Stefan Golling
Member of the Board of Management
Leveraging the capabilities of CyberCube will help our underwriting and risk modelling teams in better quantifying cyber risk and understanding potential cyber accumulation scenarios.
Claude Yoder
Global Chief Innovation and Product Development Officer
The powerful combination of our knowledge of (re)insurance dynamics and the evolution of the product and macro-systemic industry concerns — coupled with CyberCube’s expertise in data science, cyber security, software engineering and actuarial modeling — will deepen the industry’s understanding of this rapidly evolving risk.

Furthermore, CyberCube’s risk selection expertise will help us ensure that we have a strong grip on our potential exposure to systemic cyber risks".
Colin White
Head of Cyber Analytics
CyberCube has proven to be a low-friction predictive modeling solution tailored to our clients’ risk profile. This fits in seamlessly as one pillar in the comprehensive discussion of the qualitative and quantitative factors influencing the limit purchase decision.
William Wright

Paragon is thrilled to be working with CyberCube. Broking Manager is by far the most complete client advisory tool we’ve seen supporting the cyber insurance vertical. It produces a level of detail and sophistication which we are really excited to share with our clients.
Tim Burke
Director of Cyber Risk
When we discuss Cyber risk with clients and prospects, we have moved beyond the debate of necessity. The focus is now ‘how much and why’? Broking Manager has allowed us to move beyond benchmarking to model and quantify each organization’s unique Cyber risks.

CyberCube’s Portfolio Manager (PM) is a scenario-based data-driven model that enables enterprise risk managers in reinsurance organizations to analyze and communicate key messages on cyber exposures to both their senior leadership and their working teams. With PM, you can run probabilistic analyses in a matter of seconds, allowing for quick access to results and the ability to efficiently re-run using different assumptions and parameters.
With PM, you can:
- Quickly access visualizations on exceedance probability metrics to include in management information materials.
- Dive into more granular details by scenario, risk class, and account level statistics.
- Educate stakeholders on the exposures, loss drivers and overall portfolio tail risk.

There is a significant disparity in cyber insurance wordings, pricing, and coverage, making it difficult to identify a market consensus among carriers. This increases the work that needs to be done by reinsurance companies when considering their pricing and program structures. How can treaty underwriters confidently make pricing and structural decisions based on risk exposure and company risk tolerances?
CybeCube’s Portfolio Manager is a scenario-based model offering users flexibility in analyzing the relationships between coverage types and cost components. Users can select market defaults to initially identify accumulation and exposure risks within and across insurance portfolios.
The CyberCube interface allows users to adjust the relationship between coverage types and cost components to better reflect the risks that are covered against modeled scenarios. Users can run probabilistic scenarios that highlight specific cost components to allow for sensitivity testing of potential product changes.

CyberCube’s Portfolio Manager enables stress-testing by varying frequency distributions, frequency mode, and severity modes. Scenario specific analytics also include conditional loss distributions allowing users to see the max range as well as interquartile results per scenario. Portfolio Manager allows you to drill down and identify loss drivers and areas of accumulation risk across multiple lines of business.
As a result, risk modelers get the flexibility they need to vary frequency, severity and other assumptions to dynamically stress test model outputs, and portfolio managers get the ability to efficiently stress test their assumptions, often without creating bespoke models from scratch.
