What Are the Key Differences Between Cowbell and Resilience Tech E&O Insurance?

Your Revenue Decides: Up to $1 Billion vs $25 Million and Up

Cowbell's Prime Tech targets technology businesses with up to $1 billion in revenue, with limits up to $5 million and another $5 million through Prime Tech Plus excess. Resilience targets U.S. tech companies with $25 million to $10 billion in revenue, across services, hardware, data centers, telecom, software and web, with limits up to $10 million primary or excess. Choose Cowbell if you're under $25 million in revenue; choose Resilience if you're over $1 billion; in between, compare both. [4] [3] [10]

Security Tools vs an In-House Claims Team

Cowbell's Prime Tech combines E&O and cyber and includes its Co-Pilot tool, resiliency services and Wizer security training, sold only through agents. Resilience builds endorsements into the policy form and runs a 24/7 in-house claims and incident-response team with a dedicated claims manager. Cowbell's materials don't describe who handles claims.
