For insurance providers, cyber risk selection and pricing based on company size and industry alone is not specific enough. Evaluating risks related to the use of internet technologies should be done at a granular level to represent the diversity of usage, network footprint and security maturity. The market-leading FICO Cyber Risk Score powers Cowbell’s ability to compile risk indicators for each class of business and deliver risk ratings in real-time and at scale for individual businesses requesting coverage.

“Since day one, FICO has been instrumental in our ability to accelerate our go-to-market execution and produce Cowbell Factors at scale with accuracy for our underwriting efforts,” said Rajeev Gupta, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at Cowbell. “As we rollout our product offering in other states, it is critical we have a stable and clear risk score, along with the supporting risk data to determine the insurability of our clients.”
Cowbell Factors captures the complexity, and represents more fairly, how companies of comparable size and in the same class of business face different levels of risk exposure. Paired with FICO’s Cyber Risk Score, a category leader in cyber risk quantification, the solution provides the latest in machine learning techniques to provide accurate risk selection and pricing.
