Cowbell Cyber has announced a partnership with cybersecurity platform Trend Micro to improve access to cyber insurance. The partnership gives Trend Micro’s managed service provider partners and customers exclusive access to an all-digital application process for Prime 100 cyber insurance policies.
The partnership enhances Cowbell’s ability to enable closed-loop risk management for policyholders, since the two companies will be able to provide their mutual customers with real-time insights to reduce risk exposures, the insurer said. The partnership will ultimately allow the companies’ mutual customers to see savings on their cyber insurance policy premiums.
“The number of cyber attacks is at an all-time high, and companies are coming to terms with the fact that size doesn’t matter to an attacker,” said Stephen Years, director of technology partners and ecosystem at Cowbell Cyber. “Partnering with a cybersecurity leader like Trend Micro allows us to offer our joint customers the insights and actionable steps they need in order to improve their protection against cyber attacks, thus potentially improving their risk profile.” Read next: Cowbell Cyber launches captive to address rising demand Cowbell said it would continue working with Trend Micro to build deeper technology integrations, which could result in future premium credits for Trend Micro customers. “Managed service providers (MSPs) are the gateway to many small to medium enterprises, and this partnership empowers them to better serve their customers by taking the complexity often associated with cyber insurance out of the equation,” said Lamon Gorman, director of MSPs at Trend Micro., “The all-digital approach that Cowbell offers is a game-changer.”
