Internet Security Systems (ISS), Marsh and Protegrity are
working to establish new security assessment standards for e-business. The new standards
– designed to protect critical information of firms using the internet – will
have implications for businesses seeking to purchase insurance to cover e-business
exposures. Firms meeting the standards may qualify for reductions of up to 15% in
e-business liability insurance premiums under Net Secure – an insurance programme
developed by Marsh. ISS and Protegrity will work with Marsh to protect knowledge capital
and networks against non physical perils by providing the following services and benefits:
assessing and controlling security breaches to protect critical information assets;
reducing exposure to litigation and damages; and addressing critical network continuity
issues.
