Description

Companies depend on the Internet and computer-related technologies for e-commerce and general operations. Yet, most lack adequate insurance protection in the event of a technology-related disaster.

The increased dependence on electronic data and computer networks and the use of online tools, such as blogs and instant messaging, also heighten companies’ liability exposure.

The new risks and liabilities for companies involve privacy issues, brand reputation, content in ads and on websites, among others. Regular reports of privacy breaches and computer viruses and worms require that companies plan for the risks inherent using the Internet and the relying on computer networks to keep operations running.

Listen as our panel of insurance and technology law experts examine the legal risks related to e-commerce and technology, the problems associated with relying upon traditional insurance coverage, and offer strategies to minimize risk and avoid liability.
