Insurance Technology: Embroker Partners with Dashlane and Cowbell; Betterview and EagleView Launch Property Intelligence Alliance

Embroker announced a partnership with password-management provider Dashlane and cyber insurer Cowbell to increase customer security and expand cyber liability coverage.

“Through Cowbell and Dashlane, we are not only able to support our customers in the event of a cyber breach, but also help them avoid one altogether,” said David Derigiotis, chief insurance officer at Embroker, a digital platform for business insurance. “It is services like these that are shaping the next generation of insurance, making getting coverage easier and actively beneficial to those who hold policies with us.”

With Dashlane, Embroker customers have access to proactive cyber protection services with Dashlane’s password management featuring patented, zero-knowledge encryption – meaning all passwords and other items stored in users’ “vaults” remain private to users, even from Dashlane itself. Dashlane also monitors the dark web for information, alerting Embroker customers when their information is at risk.

The addition of Cowbell’s admitted cyber liability product to Embroker’s offerings underscores the continued evolution of ONE by Embroker. Enabled through an API, Cowbell’s cyber product can be paired with Embroker’s admitted LPL product, further strengthening its exclusive bundle offerings. Cowbell focuses on cyber insurance for SMEs.

Betterview and EagleView Launch Property Intelligence Alliance

Insurtech Betterview and aerial imagery provider EagleView said they have formed an alliance.

EagleView’s imagery will be integrated into Betterview’s property intelligence platform to help insurers better understand a customer’s total property risk by providing broader, data-driven intelligence for underwriters and claims professionals. Additional benefits of the alliance will include the ability for EagleView customers to gain direct access to Betterview’s property insights, scores, and data.
