RETURN TO MENU Technology Errors & Omissions CYBERFIRST Sometimes, despite your best efforts, a customer will tell you that your product or your work failed to meet their expectations. When this happens, even your best customer may choose to make a claim against you alleging lost profits or business disruption. If you fail to insure these exposures with an errors & omissions policy, you ll pay the defense expenses and settlement costs out of your own pocket. Defense expenses alone can be catastrophic to your business. When you consider that well-written contracts are challenged in court every day and even high-quality products or services can fail to meet expectations, you need to protect yourself. CLAIM SCENARIO ONE: You design a radio unit that is integrated into a wireless telephone system. Contractors install a capacitor into your radio unit incorrectly as a result of an error in your schematics, causing failures to occur.

CLAIM SCENARIO TWO: You develop enterprise labor force software to integrate with a client s HR and payroll systems. You fall behind in delivering the work, resulting in missed milestones and nonfunctioning project modules. You contend that the client repeatedly changed the size and scope of the project. Ultimately, the client fires you and files a lawsuit, seeking to recover lost profits due to the disruption. RESULT: CyberFirst Technology E&O would be there to help because an errors and omissions wrongful act is defined as any error, omission or negligent act. CONTINUES ON NEXT PAGE Technology Errors & Omissions (E&O) coverage protects against damages that you must pay because of economic loss resulting from your products or your work and caused by an error, omission or negligent act.

RETURN TO MENU Network & Information Security CYBERFIRST Technology businesses today are driven by data. With that comes the profound responsibility to protect your customers private information, to prevent the inadvertent transmission of computer viruses and to ensure that authorized users are able to securely access your website or computer network. The theft or misuse of private or confidential customer information occurs daily. Even though a company may not have done anything wrong, it may face suits from its customers.

CLAIM SCENARIO ONE: Your employee s company laptop is stolen from his home. The laptop contains private financial information of your customers. Your customers sue you for damages resulting from your failure to protect their private financial information. CLAIM SCENARIO TWO: Your employee inadvertently downloads a destructive computer virus that spreads to other files housed on your computer network. Your client downloads information from your website, allowing the virus to spread to the client s computer system and resulting in widespread loss of data and a computer network shutdown.

RESULT: In both cases, CyberFirst Network & Information Security would be there to help because a network and information security wrongful act includes failure to prevent unauthorized access to, or use of, electronic data containing private or confidential information of others and failure to prevent the transmission of a computer virus.

RETURN TO MENU Communications & Media CYBERFIRST In today s world, copyright and trademark infringement can be just a mouse click away.
