What:
Sophos has partnered with Cowbell to allow Sophos customers to directly share their security health information with Cowbell for optimal premium quotes and policies.
Why:
Despite the increasing cyber-attacks, 52% of SMEs reported they needed a higher level of cybersecurity to qualify for coverage, while 44% said policies are now more complex, and 37% found that fewer insurance providers are offering them coverage. Sophos and Cowbell hope to bridge this gap.
How:
- Sophos endpoint customers will be able to ‘opt-in’ to share with Cowbell their endpoint security health status from the Sophos Central platform, using a new data connector.
- This connection will streamline Cowbell’s risk assessment process, allowing assessors to evaluate Sophos customers’ defenses against the requirements needed for insurance policies.
- It will also enable Sophos and Cowbell to provide real-time feedback to customers about how to improve their practices and risk profile if needed.
- In addition to the connector between Sophos Central and Cowbell, which will be available in April, Sophos will facilitate access to Cowbell insurance through the Sophos Marketplace.
