January 4, 2013 – In general, Network Risk Insurance protects your com­pany from risk and liabilities associated with processes and commerce through computer networks.

There are many examples of network risk exposures to companies, but the following are a few examples of areas where a firm may be exposed.

Example of First Party Exposures:

First Party: A hacker attacked and brought down your mission critical servers.

Examples of Third Party Exposures:

Third Party: If the hacker causes damages to a third-party for whatever reason, and that party sues your business, your network risk policy should cover these losses and provide for a defense.

Third party exposures also include internet, media, internet E&O, breach of security, release of virus and contracted disputes.
