Darwin Professional Underwriters is offering a free online data loss calculator, allowing businesses to put a dollar figure on their potential loss in the event of a security breach. Businesses have long understood the risks from conventional disasters such as fires, floods, and earthquakes, and purchase insurance accordingly. Today, more and more companies are also preparing for the possibility of a cybercrime attack.


Taking into account factors such as attorney fees, customer notification, credit monitoring, government-imposed fines, and cybercrime consulting, Darwin Professional Underwriters has now made it possible for businesses of any size to estimate the extent of their financial risk due to the more modern threats posed by hackers. Our guess is that many of them will be unpleasantly surprised at just how much it might cost them were their IT security measures to be compromised. Companies which ignore or underestimate the risk will probably be sorry at some point, unless they are very lucky.

The Data Loss Calculator is available at <a href="http://www.tech-404.com/calculator.html">http://www.tech-404.com/calculator.html</a&gt;
