Cowbell vs Resilience Cyber Insurance

Cowbell operates as an insurance agency that markets its own named 'Prime' cyber product line, rather than distributing another carrier's off-the-shelf policy under its own brand. ^4,6,7Company-reported. Product overview PDFs for Prime 100, Prime 100 Pro, Prime 250, Prime One and Prime Plus.

Resilience pairs a cyber insurance policy with security services such as threat monitoring and breach-and-attack simulations. In the US, the policy is placed by a distributor rather than underwritten by the Resilience brand itself. ¹¹Company-reported.

Cowbell says Prime 100 and Prime 100 Pro paper is provided by Palomar Specialty Insurance Company (AM Best A rating), Prime 250 by Palomar Specialty Insurance Company and Chaucer Insurance Company, and Prime One by Chaucer Specialty Insurance Company; the insurer therefore varies by which Prime product is placed. ^4,6,7Company-reported.
