Gosrani commented: “Kovrr provides insurance professionals unique visibility into their modeling methodologies and the underlying data. This type of transparency allows carriers to quickly validate their assumptions while strengthening their internal cyber risk expertise. I’m excited to help Kovrr enable their customers in these important endeavors. Cyber models are indispensable for assessing and quantifying cyber risk and transparency is a major factor for (re)insurer adoption.”
