Director of cyber services
CHUBB
Russ Cohen heads Chubb’s North American loss mitigation and incident response services, which help policyholders analyze cyber exposures and respond to cyber events when they occur. Cohen has more than 15 years of cybersecurity and technology experience under his belt, and he spent seven years as Chubb’s global security architect. Prior to joining Chubb, Cohen held many roles in the industry, including as an ethical ‘white hat’ hacker, a systems architecture consultant at a large pharmaceutical corporation and a senior consultant at one of the largest software companies in the world.
In October, Cohen and his team introduced Cyber COPE, “a new model for cyber underwriting, intended to simplify and improve the assessment of both cyber and privacy risks.” Cohen penned an advisory explaining how the model is patterned after the COPE model used in property underwriting and how it demonstrates the “art and science” in underwriting.
