CyberCube has announced a major milestone in its growth trajectory with a new investment of over $180 million from Spectrum Equity, pending regulatory approval. Spectrum will join existing backers ForgePoint Capital, Hudson Structured Capital Management, and MTech Capital, positioning itself as a cornerstone institutional investor and reinforcing CyberCube’s strategic role in shaping the future of cyber risk analytics for the insurance industry.
This investment underscores CyberCube’s pivotal place in the global cyber insurance ecosystem. Already trusted by more than 130 clients, including three-quarters of the top 40 U.S. and European cyber insurers and the majority of the top 20 global brokers, CyberCube delivers analytics that support risk distribution, underwriting, and portfolio management at scale. By enabling insurers and reinsurers to better quantify cyber exposures, the company plays a vital role in ensuring that cyber insurance remains profitable and sustainable in a rapidly evolving risk landscape.
The fresh capital will allow CyberCube to accelerate product innovation and expand its reach across the global (re)insurance and broking sectors. CEO Pascal Millaire highlighted that cyber insurance has the potential to become one of the largest property and casualty lines of business as internet-connected technologies and artificial intelligence permeate every aspect of the economy. He emphasized that this new backing provides CyberCube with the resources to build advanced analytic tools that insurers will need to support sustained growth into the 2030s.
The company also announced a significant governance development: Scott G. Stephenson, the former Chairman, President, and CEO of Verisk and a board member since 2022, has been appointed Chair of the Board of Directors. Stephenson noted his conviction in the long-term growth of the cyber insurance sector and stressed the importance of robust analytics to enable informed decision-making at scale.
On the product front, 2025 is shaping up to be a transformative year for CyberCube. Among its latest innovations is Exposure Manager (XM), a first-of-its-kind tool that empowers insurers and reinsurers to evaluate risk across entire portfolios with unparalleled transparency and quantification. This complements CyberCube’s existing suite, including Portfolio Manager, Account Manager, and Broking Manager, creating a full ecosystem of analytics solutions. Portfolio Manager itself has reached a milestone with the release of Version 6.0, introducing deeper catastrophe modeling and new risk modifiers that tie company-specific security scores directly to scenario outcomes. These tools are bolstered by CyberCube’s longstanding integration of AI, including proprietary large language models designed to extract insights from vast and complex datasets.
The significance of Spectrum Equity’s investment extends beyond financial support. As Managing Director Mike Farrell remarked, CyberCube is transforming how the insurance sector trades cyber risk, and the backing will help scale its products and global presence at a critical inflection point. With cyber threats intensifying, regulatory environments tightening, and enterprise exposures increasing, CyberCube’s role in bridging insurance capacity with analytic rigor is becoming indispensable.
The transaction was advised by Evercore for CyberCube, with Cooley LLP serving as legal counsel to the company and Latham & Watkins LLP representing Spectrum Equity. This deal not only reflects growing investor confidence in the cyber insurance market but also signals a new chapter in CyberCube’s ambition to anchor its leadership in one of the fastest-growing segments of global insurance.
