CyberCube has partnered with CatX, a digital marketplace that connects (re)insurers and brokers with alternative capital, to enhance CatX’s capabilities in cyber risk analytics.

The partnership will see the integration of CyberCube’s Portfolio Manager into the CatX platform. This model provides portfolio-level insights that are crucial for senior leadership decision-making. Additionally, CatX customers will benefit from CyberCube’s Industry Exposure Databases. This allows for detailed benchmarking, sensitivity analyses, and evaluations of cyber risks. These are particularly useful for those involved in Industry Loss Warranties (ILW).

“Investor Confidence”

Ross Wirth, Head of Partnership & Ecosystem at CyberCube, commented on the partnership, “This collaboration will enhance investor confidence and expand access to investments such as industry loss warranties. We are excited to make CyberCube’s models available on the CatX platform, adding another source of capital in this expanding market.”

Benedict Altier, CatX’s Chief Executive Officer, highlighted the market trends. “There is strong demand from investors for cyber insurance-linked security (ILS) products, and we expect this segment to expand significantly in the coming years. Alternative capital will be crucial in enhancing the stability of the cyber insurance market. Our partnership with CyberCube gives brokers, insurers, and investors access to top-tier cyber risk analytics,” said Altier.

Lucas Schneider, Chief Technology Officer at CatX, outlined the technical benefits: “Working with CyberCube will help us advance our goal to become the top platform for cyber index-based and parametric reinsurance and retrocession transactions. CyberCube’s datasets will enhance our ILS-analytics suite, supporting risk-adjusted pricing, scenario analysis, and benchmarking.”

CyberCube and CatX have designed their collaboration to improve cyber risk management by leveraging advanced analytics and comprehensive data. As the cyber insurance market evolves, driven by investor interest in sophisticated financial products, such collaborations are crucial for enabling a more informed and resilient industry.

In this clip from our latest podcast, Martin Hinton and William Altman dive into the long-term consequences of data breaches — especially those affecting K–12 students. Highlighting the PowerSchool breach, which exposed 60 million student records, they explore how leaked personal data like mental health history may resurface decades later, leaving individuals vulnerable to fraud, identity abuse, and digital exploitation.

Altman warns that while credit monitoring may address financial risk, it fails to protect against deeper psychological and reputational harm. This conversation is a must-hear for educators, parents, and policymakers thinking beyond immediate breach responses.

Education Cybersecurity Exposed: Long-Term Impact of K–12 Cybersecurity Breaches
The threat of cybersecurity breaches in 2025 and the long-term damage of a cyberattack. In this episode of the Cyber Insurance News Podcast, Executive Editor Martin Hinton interviews William Altman, Head of Cyber Threat Intelligence at CyberCube. They explore the evolving world of cybersecurity and cyber insurance. The episode dives into why small businesses are highly vulnerable, how AI is both a weapon and a shield in cyber defense and the critical gaps in threat intelligence. They also discuss basic measures even the smallest business can take to protect themselves from a cybersecurity breach. 

A spotlight is cast on the education sector, where underfunded cybersecurity programs have made schools a prime target for threat actors. These cybersecurity breaches can have a lasting impact. One alarming breach compromised 60 million K-12 student records, revealing sensitive data like mental health histories, data that can't be “reset” like a credit card. This breach raises urgent concerns about the long-term impacts of cybercrime on students' privacy, identity, and future safety, far beyond the limits of traditional credit monitoring.

They also explore the security posture of the financial sector, the power of identity and privileged access management, and the real-world impact of software vulnerabilities.

In the wake of the Harrods hack and cyberattacks impacting other retailers, the alarming state of UK cybersecurity will be revealed in 2024. From cyberattacks hitting major UK retailers like Co-op and Harrods to small businesses struggling without protection, the message is clear—cybercrime is a national threat.

New research by Pen Underwriting reveals that while 90% of UK and Irish businesses feel secure, only 47% have dedicated cyber insurance. Even more shocking—only 18% of businesses earning under £1 million are covered. The cost isn’t just financial—real people suffer, like the couple who lost their wedding cake due to a ransomware attack.

Watch now to understand:

Why UK businesses are dangerously unprepared

How cyberattacks are more common than fires or theft

The key role of employee training, data backups, and multi-factor authentication (MFA)

Why cyber insurance is no longer optional
