The technology industry is characterized by rapid innovation and disruption, as new technologies and business models emerge and obsolete older ones.

Commercial general liability (CGL) insurance: Provides coverage for third-party bodily injury or property damage claims arising from the company's operations or products.

Directors and officers (D&O) insurance: Provides coverage for claims arising from alleged wrongful acts or omissions by the company's directors and officers, such as mismanagement or financial misstatements.

Business interruption insurance: Provides coverage for lost income and expenses resulting from disruptions to the company's operations, such as natural disasters, fires, or other catastrophic events.

Product liability insurance: Provides coverage for bodily injury or property damage claims arising from the company's products, including defective software or hardware.
