Cowbell Launches “Cowbell Academy”, New eLearning Center Dedicated to Cyber Insurance
January 2023 by Marc Jacob
Cowbell announced the launch of
Cowbell
Academy, a unique institution that offers insurance agents and brokers lessons on cyber insurance. The program includes general classes such as Cyber Insurance 101, assessments
to help brokers evaluate their level of knowledge with cyber insurance, as well as classes dedicated to Cowbell’s products.
Cowbell is the first cyber insurance provider to offer formalized eLearning services for insurance brokers dedicated to cyber.
In a recent survey of over 500 agents and brokers, Cowbell found that 48% of insurance brokers and agents feel uncomfortable explaining
cyber insurance to their clients. The same study found that 60% of clients are driven to obtain cyber insurance through increased awareness around cyber insurance, not by their brokers or agents, but instead by their peers. Although standalone cyber insurance
is a direct means for small and medium-sized enterprises to get adequate financial protection from cyberattacks, coverage is not accessible to many because their primary insurance agent does not present the option to them.
Courses at Cowbell Academy have been developed by insurance and cybersecurity professionals with extensive agent and broker experience. The curriculum is centered on the evolving cyber industry. As a fast-growing
field, classes are crafted with each cyber insurance learning level in mind, breaking down the complex topic to a level that every learner can understand.
Cowbell Academy also offers complimentary continuing education credit courses to appointed agents, with a curriculum focused on cyber insurance in multiple states.
