Cowbell is a Pleasanton, California-based adaptive cyber insurance provider serving small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and the middle market with standalone cyber liability coverage, technology errors & omissions (Tech E&O), management liability, and excess cyber products. Founded in 2019, Cowbell pioneered continuous underwriting through its proprietary Cowbell Factors risk benchmarking, which scores organizations against millions of data points to surface vulnerabilities and prioritize remediation. The company pairs its policies with a closed-loop resiliency program (assess-insure-respond-improve) that includes complimentary risk assessments, Cowbell Insights threat detection, incident response planning, cybersecurity awareness training, micro-penetration testing, and vendor risk assessments, plus subscription-based managed detection and response (MDR), penetration testing, identity monitoring (IdentityAI), and Compliance-as-a-Service (COMPaaS). Cowbell operates across the United States (all 50 states plus DC), the United Kingdom, and Australia, is backed by reinsurance partners including Zurich, and offers a public developer program at developers.cowbellcyber.ai exposing REST APIs for agencies, accounts, risk factors, quoting, binding, policy management, and webhooks across its Prime 100, Prime 250, and PrimeOne products. The API surface powers digital aggregator integrations with partners such as Bold Penguin, Herald, Semsee, Sayata, Limit, iBynd, and AmWins. No public OpenAPI specification or open-source SDK is published by Cowbell.
