CyberCube growth playbook

Diagnosis

CyberCube leads its niche (more than 100 clients, including 75% of the top 40 European and US cyber carriers) and its hiring shows the next step: a new head of marketing accountable for an evidenced pipeline number, a new leader for the largest sales segment focused on renewals, expansion and shorter cycles, and threat intelligence, actuarial and data roles that strengthen the product and its public voice.

The gaps are in the funnel: a second, placeholder demo page, dated proof points and research, a slow homepage, and growth stories (Asia, MGAs) without a home on the site.

This playbook fixes the demo path and proof first, then builds account-level pipeline reporting, ABM, event scoring, an Asia page and an MGA capacity pack, with bigger bets on an AI portfolio analyst, a public accumulation index and a broker-embedded loss estimate.

Growth Score

7/10

Biggest Opportunity

Expansion within a concentrated market: more products per existing client, the few remaining top carriers through ABM, and new growth in MGAs and Asia, all measured in one pipeline view.

Biggest Risk

With most top carriers already clients, new-logo growth slows, and rivals such as Guidewire Cyence and the large catastrophe modellers compete on price at renewal.

Quick wins with a clear first action.

  • 01

    The new Senior Director, Marketing will be held to "an agreed and evidenced marketing contribution to pipeline" trusted by sales and the board. Today CyberCube has two demo pages: /request-a-demo, where every button points and a form captures the lead, and /book-a-demo, which is in the sitemap with its own canonical tag, has no form, and shows only "Lorem ipsum" placeholder text. Any buyer who reaches it from search or an old link hits a dead end, and the visit never becomes a counted opportunity.

    Smallest test

    Redirect the page and add the segment field this week.

    Why it works

    Redirect /book-a-demo to /request-a-demo today and drop it from the sitemap. Then make the one remaining form do the attribution work: ask the buyer's segment (insurer, reinsurer, broker, MGA, ILS, public sector) and role, capture the source (report, event, podcast, news), and route insurers and reinsurers to the (Re)Insurance Sales team and brokers to Broker Sales within one business day. Report demo requests by source every week.

    One door, with the source and segment recorded, is the base of any pipeline number sales will believe, and it stops losing the rare enterprise buyer who comes looking.

    The homepage leads with "Used to model over 70% of global cyber premiums", sourced to 2024, while every job post now says "more than 100 clients" including 75% of the top 40 carriers and 70% of the top ten reinsurance brokers. A CUO comparing vendors notices a two-year-old figure; the hiring post asks for a refreshed narrative for "a technical analytics product".

    Replace the 2024 statistic with the current client numbers.

    Why it works

    Update or re-date each homepage statistic, lead with the current client numbers, add one line on the newest proof (the Asian client wins, the AI event framework), and show the date and source under each number. Use the same three numbers in sales decks, the boilerplate and LinkedIn.

    Current, dated numbers read as rigour to actuaries and risk officers, and one set of numbers everywhere is the start of holding "the line on the narrative".

    Risks and how to handle them

    • New figures need sign-off

      Use only figures cleared for public use.

    The Research & Reports page leads with strong 2026 work, but further down the same list still shows a 2019 handbook and a whitepaper predicting premiums would reach "~$20B ... by 2025", mostly without dates. For a firm whose pitch is forward-looking risk, an undated past forecast undercuts the new research.

    Why it works

    Show the publication date on every card, add a "Current view" filter for the last 24 months, move older pieces to an archive section with a note on what has changed, and link each archived piece to its current successor (for example the latest Global Threat Briefing).

    Dated research shows the series is maintained and points readers, search engines and AI assistants at the current view.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Losing traffic to old pages

      Keep the pages live in the archive; do not delete.

    Evidence

    • Your websiteResearch & Reports: recent reports lead (Machine State of Mind, with the I2T2 framework and "six AI Event Families"; The Cyber Data Paradox; Unlocking Asia's Cyber Insurance Opportunity; Global Threat Briefing H1 2026; Cyber Predictions 2026), but the same list still carries items such as "MMC Cyber Handbook 2019" and a whitepaper saying cyber premiums are "Expected to jump from ~$3B to ~$20B in gross written premiums by 2025", with no date shown on most cards.Source
    • HiringCyber Threat Intelligence Principal (London, posted September 10, 2026; a CTI Lead is also open): will be "one of CyberCube's key voices and thought leaders on technology risk", deliver threat landscape and scenario reports "on a quarterly cadence", own the "event family" library "including emerging AI-driven scenarios" and "the assumptions register", described as "the documented, client-defensible rationale for modeling choices".Source
    • HiringThe same post lists as strong pluses "account-based marketing into a defined target list", "a flagship industry event presence and an executive speaking programme" with judgement on "which events are worth the money", "thought leadership built on proprietary data", and comfort with "AI-assisted content production, agentic prospecting, automated reporting, no traditional SDR layer". It also asks for someone who "Will not ship undifferentiated content".Source

    Run one briefing for a current prospect.

    Why it works

Put the offer on the insurer and reinsurer pages next to the demo request.

    A finding about their own book earns the second meeting the sales post asks for and puts the actuary in the room early.

    Why it works

    Track both hosts as one property, tie report downloads, event meetings and podcast listens to HubSpot accounts, and build one report by account: first touch, touches before an opportunity, and opportunities by programme. Review it weekly with the (Re)Insurance and Broker Sales leaders.

    A shared, account-level view is what makes the marketing number trusted and lets budget move to what works.

    CyberCube already serves 75% of the top 40 European and US cyber carriers, so new logos in that tier are a short, named list. The marketing post asks for "account-based marketing into a defined target list" with "agentic prospecting" and "no traditional SDR layer".

    Why it works

    Agree the target list with sales (remaining top-40 carriers, large reinsurers, fast-growing MGAs, Asian carriers). For each account, produce a short research brief from public data and CyberCube's exposure databases, a tailored content path (relevant reports, an invitation to the executive briefing), and an event meeting plan. Use AI tools to keep briefs current; the account executive owns the outreach.

    In a market this concentrated, each new logo is worth a programme of its own.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Generic personalisation

    Why it works

    For each event, book meetings with target accounts in advance, log every meeting in HubSpot, follow up within 48 hours with a relevant report, and score events on meetings, opportunities and cost per opportunity. Drop or downgrade the bottom quarter and put the money into speaking slots and hosted client dinners at the best events.

    Events are often the biggest line in an enterprise marketing budget, and a simple score makes the trade-off visible.

    Build an Asia page: client and partner logos (where public), the Asia report, the APAC benchmarks in Broking Manager, local events, and a contact path that routes to the right team or partner. Add it to the solutions menu and send the press and partners there.

    Regional buyers look for regional proof, and one page turns several press releases into a sales asset.

    Make one pack by hand for a pilot MGA.

    Why it works

    Create a standard, co-branded capacity pack from Portfolio Manager output: modelled loss curves, accumulation and SPoF exposure, and underwriting controls, in a format capacity providers recognise. Market it to MGAs as a reason to buy and to reinsurers as a common language.

    It turns a product feature into a concrete outcome MGAs pay for, and each pack shown to a reinsurer is a demonstration to another buyer.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Capacity providers read it as CyberCube endorsing the MGA

      State clearly that it is modelled output, not a rating.

    Auditable answers fit insurers' model governance needs and can raise usage across products.

    Why it works

    Publish a quarterly index of concentration on major providers by sector and region (aggregated, no company named), with commentary from the threat intelligence team. Offer the full detail to clients.

    Original data earns press and citations and makes CyberCube the reference point when an outage happens.

    Risks and how to handle them

    Mock up the widget for one broker.

    Why it works

    Offer broker clients an embeddable, co-branded estimate: a company enters its name and size and gets a simple loss range and a call to talk to the broker. CyberCube charges per broker and gains brand reach among the brokers' prospects.

    It helps brokers sell more cyber, which is the outcome they buy Broking Manager for, and spreads the CyberCube name.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Estimates misread as quotes

      Show ranges and a clear note that it is not a quote.

    Evidence

3 research areas, each summarised in a few lines. Open any of them for the full detail.

Customers

What customers say

Customers value financial-loss analytics for cyber that underwriters and actuaries can defend. The most cited problem: limited historical cyber loss data.

  • Portfolio and accumulation views, including single points of failure
  • Accumulation risk from shared technology providers
  • In their words: “accumulation”

Market

Competitive landscape

4 competitors compared: Guidewire Cyence, Moody's RMS, Kovrr and Security ratings vendors.

  • Gap to exploit: Public, regular data on technology concentration risk
  • Guidewire Cyence: Less broker and MGA focus
  • Moody's RMS: Cyber is one of many perils
