Cowbell, a cyber insurance provider for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), has announced the launch of its Cybersecurity Advisory Board (CSAB), convening experts to drive cross-industry innovation
According to the firm, the creation of this board accelerates Cowbell’s mission to strengthen cyber resilience in the SME market through cross-industry innovation between cyber insurance and cybersecurity.
Members of the board will provide input on Cowbell’s cyber insurance programs, trends in cybersecurity, and new threat developments that impact SMEs.
They will also offer their expertise on how to best engage policyholders, both business and security contacts, on preparedness for cyber insurance and cybersecurity, Cowbell added.
“The Cybersecurity Advisory Board will be instrumental in our ability to drive cyber insurance innovation,” said Prab Reddy, SVP of Information Security and Threat Intelligence at Cowbell. “Every day, through interactions with our insureds, we see firsthand opportunities for direct collaboration between security staff, risk managers and business executives. I’m thrilled to welcome our newly formed Cybersecurity Advisory Board, a group of cyber experts who are committed to helping us improve SMEs’ cyber resilience through collaboration.”
Members include Sunil Badlani, Cyber Security Risk Officer, BNY Mellon Investment Management; Jeff Brown, CISO of Connecticut State; and Srinivas Mukkamala, Chief Product Officer at Ivanti, founder and CEO of RiskSense.
David Tsao, CISO, Instacart; Kurt Sanger, Lieutenant Colonel, U.S. Marine Corps (Ret.) and former Deputy General Counsel for U.S. Cyber Command; and Eric Slesinger, Principal & Head of Investments at Mundi Ventures, Cybersecurity Expert, are also part of the board.
The launch of the CSAB follows the unveiling of Cowbell’s Adaptive Cyber Insurance – a dynamic approach to insure constantly changing risk – and the launch of its subsidiary, Cowbell Specialty, last September.
