From risk transfer to risk prevention: redefining the role of cyber insurance
By Luke Fardell, Lead Cyber Analyst
17 September 2026
Most cyber insurance policies are still bought for a moment that never comes: the claim. But increasingly, the real value is delivered long before an incident occurs – often in ways policyholders never see. When a cyber breach does happen, the same question follows: could this have been avoided? In many cases, the answer is uncomfortably simple - yes.
Transparency Matters: Why Asia Needs Stronger Cyber Duty to Inform Legislation
By Pavlos Spyropoulos , Regional Managing Director Asia Pacific
14 July 2026
With two decades of operating in Asia, Tokio Marine Kiln has witnessed first-hand how rapidly cyber risk has outpaced the region’s frameworks designed to govern it. Attacks are rising in frequency and sophistication, yet disclosure requirements across the region remain inconsistent and fragmented. As a result, insurers and organisations are often forced to operate without a full picture of the true risk environment - an increasingly unsustainable position as digitalisation sweeps across Asia.

In my 42 years in this industry, I have watched it absorb terrorist attacks, a global financial crisis, a pandemic that grounded fleets worldwide, and repeated bouts of geopolitical turbulence.

When we speak to our brokers, it quickly emerges that there is one common and fundamental truth: when challenges arise, brokers want the confidence that their clients will be supported with clarity, speed, professionalism and commerciality. Consequently, a great claims experience strengthens relationships, reduces uncertainty, and helps brokers protect their clients’ resilience.
Asia’s Risk Tipping Point
By Pavlos Spyropoulos , Regional Managing Director Asia Pacific
10 June 2026
When TMK set up at Lloyd’s Asia in Singapore two decades ago, Asia’s most valuable risks were easy to identify. They sat in ports, factories and offshore platforms, embedded in the physical infrastructure that powered regional growth and the insurance market had well-established frameworks to price them. Today, many of the region’s largest exposures are just as real, but far less tangible.
Why a soft market is the time to innovate
By Rob Jarvis, Head of Innovation
14 May 2026
When the market softens, an underwriter’s instinct is often to play it safe, protect existing customers, and park anything new until conditions improve. As margins compress and competition intensifies, that reaction is understandable. Innovation starts to feel like a luxury, and it’s often the first thing to be quietly put on ice in favour of small changes dressed up as differentiation.
