The purpose of this study was to explore those issues which are of most concern and, where possible, to help explode some myths by setting out the practical experiences of underwriters who specialise in this class of insurance and who have been pioneers in the field of insuring these new types and classes of risk.

It discusses areas of new risk for which entirely new insurance products are required. It places these risks within the context of the relevant regulatory background in which the IT business world operates and explains the consequences of this environment.

In addition, the issue of computer viruses and their like has been tackled from a contribution by a leading IT security consultant enabling insurers to consider the proper context into which such threats are to be treated.
