Protection against cyber attacks has become an absolute priority for companies in the technology sector.

It is now a constantly evolving risk, with cyber attacks continuing to multiply. In 2023, 49% of companies said they had been the victim of at least one high-impact cyber attack*. Sensitive data, confidential information and critical infrastructures are the targets of cyber attacks. A data breach can have serious consequences, such as

Financial losses
Damage to reputation
Legal sanctions

In the event of an accident, our Cyber insurance offers you protection to cover the costs of incident response, data restoration and crisis management.

Protecting intellectual property is essential for technology companies that rely on their innovations and original creations.

This asset can carry a number of risks:

Patent infringement
Trademark infringement
Copyright infringement by third parties
Litigation linked to accusations of counterfeiting.

Protecting intellectual property rights and defending against unjustified claims can be costly and complex, particularly in the case of patent infringement litigation and depending on its territoriality.

With our Intellectual Property insurance, your company benefits from essential protection against any legal costs or damages associated with IP disputes, helping you to protect your intangible assets and maintain your competitive edge.

In a sector characterised by rapid innovation, technology companies face a number of risks, including :

Errors
Omissions
Delays
Negligence

Our Professional Liability policy is specifically designed to cover a wide range of these risks, which can lead to customer claims that threaten your financial stability.
