Specialist underwriting agency Emergence has invested in Sydney advisory business NSB Cyber.

CEO Troy Filipcevic says Emergence has worked closely with the NSB team for several years, and the formal alliance helps insureds increase cyber maturity and resilience.

“Together, we share a practical approach to cyber risk, combined with curiosity and a drive to keep improving how we protect organisations as technology advances into the future,” he said.

The partnership aims to give cyber specialist Emergence’s clients better support before, during and after an incident.  

Policyholders can access cyber strategy advice, risk assessments, awareness training and executive tabletop exercises, and the tie-up with NSB Cyber also adds digital forensic and incident response expertise.

Services include real-time cyber threat intelligence and dark web monitoring.

“This strategic alliance with Emergence reflects a shared commitment to innovation, quality and raising the standard of protection available to organisations,” said NSB Cyber CEO and co-founder Shane Bell – a former McGrathNicol partner and PwC director.

“It is a material financial risk that requires industry collaboration.”
