For CFOs and risk managers
One locked network can stop payroll, shipping and every customer promise on the same morning.
Most companies learn what their cyber program really looks like on the worst day. We'd rather you learn it on a quiet one.

You're not behind. You're busy.
- You're asked to sign off on cyber limits you didn't set, for risks that change every quarter.
- A customer wants proof of higher limits before the next contract is signed.
- Your board wants a straight answer: if we're hit tomorrow, who do we call, and what happens next?
If any of that sounds familiar, you're in good company. These are the questions we hear most.
What Ascend does
Standalone cyber from world-class markets
We place cyber as its own (monoline) policy, not an add-on to something else, so the limits and terms are built around your company.
High limits, structured to fit
Larger programs are often built with a self-insured retention (SIR): your company handles the first layer of a loss, and the policy terms sit above it. We help you decide what level makes sense.
Ready before the worst day
We help you know who to call, and in what order, before anything happens. What any policy covers depends on its terms, and we walk you through them in plain English.
Who you'll talk to
- Jerry Deitz, President & CEO, reads every request himself.

Picture the morning after.
A team that knows exactly who to call, a plan already in motion, and a broker who picked up the phone before you had to ask.
