NSB Cyber Announces Strategic Alliance to establish an Integrated Cyber Risk Protection Model for Australian Businesses
NSB Cyber today announced a strategic alliance with Emergence Insurance, marking a significant step forward in how cyber risk is managed, mitigated, and responded to across the Australian cyber landscape.
This strategic alliance brings together two Australian organisations, each a specialist in their respective fields, united by a shared mission: to help Australian businesses defend themselves against increasingly persistent and sophisticated cyber threats.
The partnership combines deep, real-world cyber expertise with industry leading cyber insurance capability to deliver a more mature, resilient, and outcomes-driven approach to cyber risk mitigation.
“Cyber risk has evolved well beyond a purely technical issue. It is a material business and financial risk that requires industry collaboration and mission alignment,” said Shane Bell, CEO of NSB Cyber. “This strategic alliance with Emergence reflects a shared commitment to innovation, quality, and raising the standard of protection available to Australian organisations.”
Bringing Innovation to Market Through Specialist Expertise
By aligning two leading Australian cyber security brands, this strategic alliance introduces a more integrated approach to cyber resilience, one that goes beyond risk transference and places greater emphasis on risk reduction, preparedness, and confidence before an incident occurs.
NSB Cyber brings frontline experience drawn from real-world incident response, digital forensics, cyber threat intelligence and cyber risk advisory engagements across Australia. This operational insight informs services designed to complement and enhance the role of cyber insurers in mitigating cyber risk and supporting policyholders.
The result is a more informed, practical, and defensible cyber risk posture for organisations navigating an increasingly hostile threat environment.
“This alliance strengthens Emergence’s value proposition to support Australian organisations before, during and after a cyber incident, helping to reduce their cyber risk. Insureds have access to deeper cyber advisory, DFIR and eDiscovery capability, enhancing how we protect them across the full cyber risk lifecycle as threats continue to evolve.” said Troy Filipcevic, CEO of Emergence Insurance.
A Shared Commitment to the Australian Market
Both organisations are proudly Australian-owned and operated, with strong alignment across values, culture, and purpose. This shared foundation underpins a long-term commitment to supporting Australian businesses with solutions designed specifically for local conditions, regulatory expectations, and threat realities.
“We believe strongly in the role cyber insurers and brokers play in helping Australian organisations improve their cyber resilience.” Bell added. “This alliance demonstrates our commitment to working collaboratively across the ecosystem - insurers, brokers, underwriters and insureds - to deliver better outcomes when it matters most.”
Strengthening the Role of Cyber Insurance in Risk Mitigation
For NSB Cyber, the alliance reinforces a clear position: cyber insurance is most effective when supported by specialist services that help organisations understand, reduce, and respond to risk, while providing immediate access to industry leading response and recovery capability when it matters most.
By designing services that align closely with the objectives of Emergence and their broker networks, NSB Cyber is helping bridge the gap between cybersecurity operations and financial risk management. This approach enables organisations to move beyond a purely reactive response, toward a more proactive, resilient cyber posture.
Looking Ahead
As cyber threats continue to evolve in scale and sophistication, NSB Cyber believes collaboration across the ecosystem is essential to lifting standards across the market. This alliance with Emergence represents a shared commitment to innovation, integrity, and supporting Australian organisations to better withstand and recover from cyber incidents.
