I'd like to correct myself -- I should have done my research more carefully. NCSA was not offering their insurance program in partnership with Prudential. I had my wires crossed with something else. For details see: http://www.ncsa.com/pressrelease/pr12.html Wherein it says: "The insurance policy, named InsureSiteSM, is being underwritten by member companies of American International Group, Inc. (AIG) and is available through Atlanta-based insurance broker Hamilton Dorsey Alston Co. (HDA). Insureds whose web sites are certified by the National Computer Security Association (NCSA) are eligible for premium discounts." For information about thier testing procedures, see: http://www.aberdeen.com/research/comp/profiles/iss/96100157.htm Wherein it says: "Most significantly, the National Computer Security Association (NCSA) uses ISS’s Firewall Scanner as a core part of its firewall accreditation program that certifies firewall products. The introduction of NCSA’s certification programs have led several insurance carriers to underwrite liability coverage for NCSA-certified web sites." Verisign also offers an insurance plan(!) see: http://www.verisign.com/pr/pr_netsure.html which covers digital ID subscribers, backed by USF&G. At any rate, I apologize again for the inaccuracy; Prudential, to my knowledge, is not involved in this area. mjr. -- Marcus J.
