Cloudflare partnering up with cyber insurers and incident response providers
Insurance companies that it is partnering with include At-Bay, Coalition, and Cowbell Cyber. Customers will be able to qualify for discounts and benefits from those partners, according to Cloudflare.
It is also partnering with the incident response providers CrowdStrike, Mandiant, and SecureWorks, which will allow companies under attack to get help quickly.
“We’re helping protect millions of organizations every day, and cyber insurers understand the benefit that brings to keeping a company protected online,” said Matthew Prince, co-founder and CEO of Cloudflare. “Similar to a safe-driving discount granted through auto insurance, now companies can get discounts just for using Cloudflare to protect their organizations. By working closely with some of the most prominent cyber insurers and incident response providers we are now helping businesses to comprehensively manage their risk online.”
