The CyberCube Podcast

In this episode of Cyber Unlocked, Lucas Doucette, Senior Underwriter at Odyssey Re, sits down with CyberCube's Jon Choi, Director of Insurance Risk Consulting to talk through the state of the cyber reinsurance market. Lucas shares what a multi-year soft market looks like from the reinsurance side, why long-tail losses from 2019-2020 are still surfacing in claims today, and how coverage expansion is quietly adding exposure to books that are already under rate pressure.

William Altman and Richard Ford break down the JadePuffer incident — the first proof of agentic ransomware operating autonomously across the full kill chain. They discuss what changes for defenders when attack speed decouples from human operators, how this reshapes cyber insurance frequency and severity models, and why the gap between what's technically possible and what threat actors will actually do matters for your risk calculations.

In this episode of the CyberCube Podcast, Anjali Nagrani, Doug Fullam, and Jon Choi discuss the PRA DyGIST exercise and what it revealed about the cyber insurance market’s ability to respond to a fast-moving, systemic cyber event. The conversation explores how CyberCube supported clients throughout the exercise, the challenges of modeling second-order impacts and supply chain disruption, and why transparent assumptions, cross-disciplinary expertise, and market-wide collaboration are becoming increasingly important for insurers and reinsurers managing cyber accumulation risk.

In this episode of the CyberCube Podcast, Juan Marcano and Jon Choi discuss model governance considerations for cyber as a dynamic peril. They explore why the industry needs clearer distinctions between exposure data and model assumptions, how security posture data fits into cyber exposure, and what insurers and reinsurers should consider when governing models that reflect a fast-changing digital risk landscape.

This episode explores how geopolitics is reshaping cyber risk, as nation states increasingly use cyber operations as a tool of statecraft. Richard Ford and William Altman unpack the blurred lines between state-backed and criminal activity, and what this means for attribution, claims, and coverage. The conversation also examines emerging risks, from AI-driven “time compression” to systemic exposure, and how insurers and reinsurers should respond.

In this episode, CyberCube's John Anderson and Andrew Lukas discuss how insurers are using cyber risk data today, why more data does not always mean better decisions, and what makes data truly useful in underwriting. They explore how carriers can cut through the noise, apply data across the underwriting lifecycle, and build stronger, more resilient portfolios.

In this Cyber Insights episode, we unpack CyberCube’s H2 2025 Global Threat Briefing and what it means for cyber insurers navigating a soft market amid rising global threats. From the acceleration of ransomware across emerging economies to the growing impact of AI-driven attacks, we explore how precision underwriting — powered by security and exposure analytics — helps insurers identify profitable opportunities and stay ahead of evolving cyber risk.

CyberCube’s Rebecca Bole and MSIG USA’s Siobhan O’Brien explore the growing talent gap in cyber insurance. They discuss the skills shaping the future of the industry, how to build inclusive and remote teams, and why partnerships, apprenticeships, and diverse talent pipelines are key to sustaining growth in a dynamic market.

Asia-Pacific’s cyber insurance market is evolving fast — shaped by digital transformation, new regulations, and growing risk awareness. In this episode of the CyberCube Podcast, host Rianna Mistry speaks with Sie Liang Lau, Head of Cyber & Casualty at Samsung Reinsurance, and Juan Marcano, Principal Client Account Manager at CyberCube, to explore the region’s unique market dynamics, the regulatory landscape, and where the biggest opportunities lie for insurers and reinsurers.

In this episode, CyberCube’s John Anderson sits down with Marsh McLennan’s Rush Kirubi to explore the power of predictive analytics in cyber insurance. They discuss the joint study they published, 'Improve Loss Ratios with CyberCube's Predictive Analytics', examining which cyber risk signals truly correlate with real-world claims — and how data-driven insights can help underwriters make smarter, faster decisions.
