Jing An Special Risks Insurance & Reinsurance Brokers

The word or name “Jing An” in Chinese means essence or spirit in peace and in Japanese it could mean a good person, god or harvest. Jing An Special Risks Insurance and Reinsurance Brokers Inc. (JASR) was incorporated in 2018 as a support to a company that focuses of specialized risks such as kidnap and ransom and security consultancy – Blackpanda. The company was organized by a group of former US Special Forces personnel that have several tours of duty in the Philippines as security advisors to the Philippine Military. Blackpanda eventually shifted its focus from physical security to Cyber Security but still incorporating the physical aspects. However, the Philippines is not yet prepared to accept this new type of security threat. Despite of this, JASR campaigned and promoted cyber insurance while Blackpanda went around espousing cyber security and incident response while getting a cover holder from one of Lloyds of London insurer, Talbot (AIG Group). This is a holistic approach in tackling cyber threats and incidents. In 2022, a new management was ushered in allowing JASR to expand its expertise particularly focusing on Taiwanese and Chinese investments, mining, manufacturing, and power generation. , new products and risk management, but still maintaining its original purpose of promoting and bring in expertise and capacity on cyber security insurance.
