Denver, Colorado – WEBWIRE – Thursday, October 17, 2019 – DarkOwl LLC, a Denver-based cybersecurity company specializing in darknet data, is proud to announce a new innovative partnership with Cowbell Cyber. Cowbell Cyber, focused on Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered cyber insurance for small to mid-sized enterprises, is a disruptor in the cyber insurance industry and is changing the way that policies are underwritten.
Cowbell will utilize DarkOwl’s platform of searchable darknet data and DARKINT™ Scores, both important data sets to incorporate when assessing the overall cyber risk footprint of any organization.
Mark Turnage, CEO of DarkOwl says, “We are delighted to be working with Cowbell Cyber, a pioneering firm addressing an important gap in the cyber insurance market. Their approach will improve the insurance industry, and our Scores product will allow Cowbell to quickly measure darknet exposure and its associated risk for organizations seeking cyber insurance.”

The partnership is aimed at building industry-wide best practices that will improve the quality of cyber insurance underwriting.
“The darknet is the primary destination for the exchange of hacked data. By partnering with DarkOwl, we will be able to include darknet intelligence in real time when assessing an organization’s overall risk profile,” says Cowbell founder and CEO Jack Kudale. “DarkOwl’s data brings a critical piece of the puzzle in closing insurability gaps and offering cyber coverage that truly matches businesses’ needs.”
