QBE will launch its global cybersecurity product in New Zealand later this year as it continues to expand in the growing risk area.

It has recruited Miro Dordevich, previously technology liability product leader at Delta Insurance Group, as New Zealand cyber product lead.

“It’s an exciting next step for our growing cyber team, and we’re looking forward to bringing the best of our global experience to brokers and businesses in the region,” global cyber head Serene Davis said.

QBE launched QCyberProtect last July and appointed Desiree Spain as global head of cyber underwriting management.

“As we enter the second year of delivering our globally consistent cyber offering, we’ve continued to adjust our appetite and pricing to align with the feedback of our valued broker partners and customers across the globe,” Ms Spain said.

QBE also introduced a global head of cyber services role late last year, appointing Dominic Keller to lead a cyber resilience team providing global threat intelligence insights, risk mitigation solutions and proactive risk services.

The insurer says its Cyber Underwriting AI Assistant, launched in North America, has now been rolled out across Europe and Asia.
