Howden Acquires Cyber Data Provider Cybeta to Enhance Risk Analytics

Howden has announced the acquisition of intellectual property assets from Cybeta, a prominent cyber data and analytics firm based in Fishers, Indiana. This strategic move is designed to empower Howden with the ability to deliver faster and more precise insights into cyber risk for its clients. By integrating Cybeta’s advanced capabilities, Howden aims to improve underwriting, placement, and claims outcomes within the insurance sector. Cybeta, established in 2019 by former U.S. Department of Defense and intelligence community experts, specializes in predictive analytics to help businesses prevent cyber attacks. As part of the deal, key members of Cybeta’s team are joining Howden, bringing specialized expertise in proactive cyber threat intelligence. This integration allows for the creation of individualized, real-time risk profiles, thereby enhancing client insurability. The acquisition aligns with Howden’s broader strategy following the January 2026 launch of its U.S. Cyber practice, which offers comprehensive services ranging from brokerage to cyber risk consulting. This development underscores the growing importance of data-driven solutions in managing complex cyber risks in the modern insurance landscape.
