Cowbell Cyber Unveils Cyber Risk Heatmap

Cowbell | May 26, 2022

Cowbell Cyber, the leading supplier of cyber insurance for small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs), announced the availability of its Cyber Risk Heatmap today. The Heatmap—the market's most data-rich and dynamic assessment of cyber risk portfolios—gives rapid insight into the distribution of covered risk across Cowbell's agencies and brokers, insurance and reinsurance partners, and underwriters' portfolios. Cowbell and its partners can now establish a balanced book of business, manage growth for profitability, and reduce the overall risk profile of each portfolio thanks to better visibility.

As per a recent Cowbell study, 71% of policyholders want their cyber insurance provider to provide advice to reduce risk exposure. The difficulties of regularly monitoring cyber risk at the portfolio and individual account levels lead to risk selection blind spots. Cowbell proves its creativity by removing these shortcomings at the portfolio level for all stakeholders. As a result, the frequency and severity of reported claims are reduced. Cowbell's continually monitored risk pool currently includes 24 million SMEs, accounting for 75% of the total SME market in the United States.

In a world where cyber insurance is becoming harder to obtain due to the volatile nature of cyber risks, Cowbell Cyber Heatmap allows us and our partners to quickly analyze the standing of any insurance book of business. The innovation Cowbell has brought to the cyber insurance landscape has, once again, allowed us to remain steadfast in our approach to properly assess and cover risk in the most rigorous manner."

Rajeev Gupta, co-founder, and chief product officer at Cowbell Cyber.

The Cowbell Variables underpin the Heatmap, a collection of risk rating factors that analyze the organization's cyber risk in real-time and then match it to the most applicable coverage for the company. Cowbell's Cyber Risk Framework provides the underlying technology, which involves security controls from multiple standards, including the NIST Cyber Security Framework, COBIT, the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), and the most recently revised NIST Cybersecurity Supply Chain Risk Management (C-SCRM) program, augmented by Cowbell's proprietary controls.

Cowbell's Cyber Risk Heatmap is free to all of Cowbell's 16,000 agency producers and is constantly updated to incorporate the most recent risk profile data to assure accuracy.
