Business Moves: Howden Acquires Cyber Analytics Firm Cybeta

Howden announced it has acquired the intellectual property assets of Cybeta, LLC, a cyber data and analytics provider.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Howden said the acquisition enables the brokerage to provide clients with faster, more precise insight into cyber risk, supporting better underwriting, placement, and claims outcomes.
