Sydney – 5 June 2026
Emergence Insurance has acquired the renewal rights to the cyber insurance portfolio of Blue Zebra, expanding support for brokers and policyholders across Australia.
All Blue Zebra cyber policies renewing from 1 July 2026 will be issued renewal (so called ‘replacement’ policies) terms by Emergence. Brokers will begin receiving renewal notices from Emergence in June.
Upon renewal, policyholders will gain access to Emergence’s award-winning cyber cover, including its Smarter Cyber Services and Smarter Incident Response capabilities. They will benefit from an expanded risk appetite, more flexible coverage options, and support from a larger, dedicated cyber team.
Emergence CEO Troy Filipcevic said the acquisition reflects Emergence’s continued focus on the cyber market and supporting brokers and their clients on better managing cyber risk.
“Blue Zebra has built a solid cyber portfolio, underpinned by a small specialist team. We’re pleased to welcome their cyber policyholders to Emergence and continue supporting them with specialist cyber protection and practical end-to-end support before, during and after a cyber incident,” Filipcevic said.
As part of the acquisition, Blue Zebra’s Head of Cyber, Aaron Langmaid, will join Emergence in July, bringing his cyber expertise and market relationships. “Aaron brings significant cyber expertise and will be a valuable addition to the team,” Filipcevic said.
Blue Zebra CEO Rowan Watson said the acquisition would maintain continuity for policyholders while expanding access to broader cyber capability and support services. Watson further emphasised that this allows Blue Zebra to focus on the agency’s core offering and to service their broker partners and their significant customer base at scale.
“Emergence has built a strong reputation in cyber insurance and shares our commitment to protecting policyholders,” Mr Watson said.
“This acquisition gives our policyholders access to broader cover options, additional support services and deep cyber expertise.”
The deal also creates opportunities for Emergence and Blue Zebra to work together on future strategic initiatives, with Watson reiterating Blue Zebra’s excitement about the prospect of partnering closely with Emergence in the future across a broad range of planned cyber initiatives.
