In this episode of CHATTINN CYBER, Marc Schein interviews Trent Cooksley, the co-founder and CEO of Cowbell Cyber about his journey into cybersecurity and how he founded one of the most successful cyber insurance companies to date. Starting his career as a bond trader on the Chicago Board of Trade, Trent quickly realized that he wasn't cut out for that type of work and decided to learn the ropes of becoming an entrepreneur. After serving Markel Corporation in a variety of different roles for a decade and gaining experience in international insurance business, property lines, professional lines, and acquisitions, Trent decided to build his own company, something he had been putting off for some time. He watched what was happening in the insurtech space and found an opportunity in cyberspace, and ventured in. Trent developed proprietary technology that allowed his newly formed company to evaluate the cybersecurity health and hygiene of every business in the United States, which gave it an opportunity to really understand risks when they come in at a much more granular and better level. Aside from his journey, Trent also talks about the biggest challenge facing the cyber insurance industry: the rapid and continuous evolution of cyber risks, which requires companies to be proactive and reactive at a rapid pace. He shares that this uncertainty also presents opportunities for those who put themselves in a position to take advantage of them. Cowbell, his company, is working towards finding a long-term solution for their policyholders by continuing to be experts in the space and how they're modeling the risk and understanding the risk. Listen to this episode to learn more. Highlights: “One of the little things that we do that I think accentuates our culture, we have a really transparent organization. So we like to be transparent. We encourage resiliency, urgency and empowerment.” “We're continually evaluating the cybersecurity health and hygiene of every business in the United States, the entire market. And that gives us an opportunity to really understand risks when they come in, at a much more granular and better level.” Time-Stamps: [01:43] Trent's business milestones [03:42] Challenges with the rapid growth of Trent's company. [06:25] Deep market penetration in the cyber insurance marketplace. [08:14] Taking a cross-disciplinary approach. [10:18] Understanding risks at a more granular and better level.

There's just no stopping that guy, is there? Sigh. In any event, Matt, Rich, and returning guest host Bob Coppedge, of managed services provider Simplex-IT(link is external), aren't about to let that prevent them from diving into the new cyber insurance pact between Sophos and Cowbell Cyber, the upgraded endpoint protection solutions Sophos released recently, or the first Dynabook laptops to sport 13th Gen Intel processors. Then they're joined by Eric Kokonas, head of MDR product marketing at Sophos, for a look at why MDR adoption is climbing fast and how MSPs should employ it. Great stuff no matter how insistently you-know-who keeps going at it.

Trent Cooksley is co-founder and COO of Cowbell Cyber. Cooksley is responsible for the strategic direction of Cowbell's insurance operations and has built the company's innovative cyber insurance portfolio along with its wide distribution network. As an insurance executive and three-time startup co-founder, Cooksley has held executive and investor roles in all stages of an insurance company's growth. Prior to Cowbell, he was Head of Open Innovation for Markel Corporation and Managing Director of Markel Digital and brought to market numerous innovations such as the first pay-as-you-go insurance technology solution. Highlights from the Show Trent started his career in insurance at an early pioneer in the Workers Comp space in the early-2000s where he got to work across many different roles and functions They sold that company to Markel, so he joined them, and helped form Markel Digital, Markel InsurTech Underwriters and Markel Digital Ventures In 2019, he left and helped co-found Cowbell Trent worked with Scott Whitehead at Markel, helping to support Thimble, which I wrote about in The Future of Insurance Volume II The team at Markel looked at startups and InsurTech with an underwriter's eye, which meant looking at the fundamentals of the insurance involved and the economics behind it The other founders were going through the Global Insurance Accelerator on their idea for solving cyber insurance issues, and Trent was a mentor to them Jack Kudale, co-founder and CEO of Cowbell, drove to see Trent to white board the idea after the GIA ended, and asked him to join the founding team The team had a strong mix of technology and insurance expertise across the three of them From Trent's experience at Markel, he saw how certain barriers can be navigated more effectively, including how risk bearers who would back you think about risk so you can build your offering in a way that can work through things easier and faster Trent learned the lesson clearly that you should have someone on the team who understands the depths of the industry in addition to outsiders who can think freely of it While natural catastrophe modeling is much slower to change because of the speed of the dynamics in question, cyber catastrophe modeling and risk theory is changing daily, which is where Cowbell can find its advantage They do a lot of scoring and modeling in-house to connect to how they want to look at the marketplace They continuously monitor 23 million businesses in the US so they can take a real-time view on almost any risk that comes to them Their approach is aimed at closing the information asymmetry at underwriting and at claim, and tying the feedback loops together so claims and underwriting learn from each other constantly Many underwriters don't tie internal feedback loops together to make product decisions in real-time, but they also don't tend to use data that comes through their various operations since it's not usually data so much as disassociated information held in a risk record or claim file Cowbell thinks about all of this as they also look at risk engineering, to change the nature of the firm's risk, not just for cyber, but more broadly because of the way technology pervades business Cowbell is an MGA, but also has a captive so they can share in the risk with their capacity providers, which they feel is important There's been a shift in how the insurance market thinks about being a carrier or not He does think there will be an evolution toward taking more risk because that is the insurer model, but it requires different disciplines and capabilities to make it work well There's disruption potential from insurtechs looking to take risk and avoid having other companies defining their product, but there are other constraints you come into when you go full-stack, too Trent reminds us that insurance isn't boring – it's complex and important for protecting the entire world This episode is brought to you by The Future of Insurance USA 2022 from Reuters Events(future-of-insurance.com/foiusa), and by the the book series, The Future of Insurance: From Disruption to Evolution by Bryan Falchuk (future-of-insurance.com).

It's dangerous out there, ma. Always use toofah. If you don't believe me, take it from Matt, Rich and returning guest host Lawrence Cruciana, of Corporate Information Technologies. They and this week's interview guest—Grayson Milbourne, security intelligence director at Webroot—have plenty to say about ransomware-as-a-service, Log4j threats, and a bunch of other reasons why none of us can have too much toofah these days. And that conversation comes after some interesting discussion of why Axcient and N-able are seeing such strong momentum around direct-to-cloud BDR, the clever new integration between Trend Micro's security software and Cowbell Cyber's insurance platform, a new vendor RFQ tool from the QuoteWerks team, and why good documentation can increase your sale value in an M&A negotiation. Trust us, the whole episode is a winnah.
