[PRNewswire] Blackpanda Named Frost & Sullivan Company of the Year
-- Blackpanda's IR-1 subscription achieves triple-digit growth, securing Frost & Sullivan's 2025 Company of the Year Award for cyber incident response leadership.
SINGAPORE Aug 21, 2025 /PRNewswire=YONHAP/ -- As cyberattacks surge across Asia-Pacific, Blackpanda [https://hubs.li/Q03DMRFB0] has been named Frost & Sullivan's 2025 Company of the Year for Incident Response Excellence [https://hubs.li/Q03DN7hG0] for the second consecutive year, a recognition of how the firm is fundamentally changing cyber emergency response [https://hubs.li/Q03DMRyh0] across the region.
Traditional incident response services cost $25,000–$100,000 per incident, pricing out the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that represent a major share of cyberattacks. Many SMEs facing breaches cannot afford expert help.
Blackpanda's IR-1 [https://hubs.li/Q03DMRFB0] subscription [https://hubs.li/Q03DMRFB0] addresses this crisis through fixed-cost, SLA-backed incident response delivered via a unified SaaS platform. Combining 24/7 expert response, continuous vulnerability scanning [https://hubs.li/Q03DN4fW0], and embedded cyber insurance [https://hubs.li/Q03DMRC00], the subscription model has achieved triple-digit year-over-year growth since its 2023 launch.

"Traditional incident response has been like premium healthcare: excellent if you can afford it, devastating if you can't," said Gene YuGene Yu [https://www.linkedin.com/in/gene-yu-222156136/], Founder & CEO of Blackpanda. "IR-1 is making digital emergency response as accessible as roadside assistance, protecting businesses across Asia that were previously left defenseless."
At the core of Frost & Sullivan's recognition is Blackpanda's innovative Assurance-to-Insurance (A2I) approach, which integrates immediate response with financial protection under a single point of accountability. As both the incident responder and Lloyd's of London coverholder, Blackpanda eliminates the silos between independent responders, insurers, and forensic providers during a crisis. This unified approach enables faster containment, lowers premiums, and eliminates IR deductibles.
The company's partner-led strategy [https://hubs.li/Q03DM_FP0] embeds IR-1 subscriptions directly into telecommunications packages, managed service offerings, and enterprise hardware across Asia. Partnerships with regional telcos integrate cyber emergency response into broadband packages, extending enterprise-grade protection to consumers and SMEs through trusted providers.

"Our second consecutive award validates that subscription-based, partner-driven democratization is the future of cyber resilience in Asia," added Gene Yu. "When a Hong Kong hotel or Philippine manufacturer faces ransomware [https://hubs.li/Q03DN4c50], they deserve the same level of expert response as a multinational corporation."
