Fleet operators are at the nexus of the digital and physical realms.

Whilst more business is done online than ever before, just in time logistics help keep modern supply chains lean and profitable, and form a critical part of many business operations transporting materials from A to B.

Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are improving vehicle and driver safety, finding more efficient routes, and delivering great customer experiences.

These connections, which will soon benefit from 5G networks, power the modern economy but can also be exploited for unintended purposes.

Essentially, as more devices and systems connect to the internet, the greater the amount of targets threat actors (hackers) have to exploit.

Indeed, the attack surface of a modern vehicle has never been larger: infotainment systems; OBD II dongles needed for telematics and insurance; GPS navigation systems; digital key fobs; fleet management systems; dashcams etc. plus connected apps offering tracking and remote unlock services – these are all connected devices or systems that have the potential to be exploited by threat actors.

Heavy vehicles have connected more widely…

riskacademy — Wed, 26 Aug 2020 13:17:51 +0000

Cyber insurance provider Cowbell Cyber has announced enhancements to its cyber insurance platform which will allow for larger risk underwriting to be done with increased ease, accuracy, and speed.

Clarity over coverages and value has historically been a barrier to adoption of cyber insurance, Cowbell Cyber said.

“Cowbell’s ongoing platform enhancements make cyber insurance approachable to all businesses and policyholders through Cowbell Prime, its standalone, admitted cyber insurance product,” the company said.

“Cyber has lacked transparency with paper-based applications, unverifiable data and policies and premiums offered based on industry and company size alone,” said Rajeev Gupta, co-founder and CPO of Cowbell Cyber. “Thanks to capabilities added to our platform on a weekly basis and new data sources, Cowbell Cyber continues to bring rapid innovation to its cyber insurance products, taking on larger underwriting capacities with extreme accuracy and speed, all while adding simplicity to the process for…
