Cork

Cork provides a cybersecurity risk and financial protection platform designed specifically for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and the small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) they serve. The platform combines risk identification and monitoring with a financial protection product called Cyber Warranty, which is positioned as a warranty-based alternative or complement to traditional cyber insurance. Cork's approach centers on giving MSPs tools to identify vulnerabilities in client environments, safeguard digital assets, and offer a financial backstop in the event of a cyber incident. The Cyber Warranty offering allows MSPs to generate revenue by embedding cyber risk protection into their existing service stack, differentiating it from standard insurance products. The company partners with other MSP-focused vendors, including Barracuda and Liongard, to integrate risk data and expand its channel presence. Cork's target customers are MSPs looking to add cyber risk and financial protection services for their SMB clients, rather than enterprise organizations directly. Cork's leadership and investor base includes individuals connected to MSP-industry ventures such as DVx Ventures, Outsiders Fund, and Vestigo Ventures, reflecting a focus on the managed services channel. The company positions itself as addressing the gap between technical cybersecurity tooling and the financial/business consequences of incidents, such as downtime, recovery costs, and business continuity risk for SMBs.
