IBM Joins Insurers To Offer E-Business Security

IBM and Fidelity and Deposit Cos., a group of insurers and bond companies,
disclosed details yesterday of their jointly offered E-Risk Protection
Program for financial services companies. The program combines IBM's
insurance industry expertise and E-business security consulting services
with Fidelity and Deposit's insurance policies to provide coverage for a
host of E-business activities and potential losses. 

The program encompasses all E-business activities, from internal and
external E-mail to electronic-business transactions, and includes coverage
for financial losses, damage to reputation, liability for service
interruption, and loss of intellectual property.

The annual premium for a minimal E-Risk policy would begin at $4,000,
according to a Fidelity and Deposit spokesman.  That would include a risk
assessment, but none of the consulting services offered by IBM, he added.
