Event Navigation
In the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, the private sector was extremely reluctant to deploy security technologies and services in civilian settings due to the enormous liability risks involved. Should the company?s technologies?whether they are products or services?be impacted by an act of terrorism, including cyber terrorism, the company could be held responsible for any damages. Enter the SAFTY Act. To encourage development and widespread deployment of effective anti-terrorism technologies, Congress enacted the Support Anti-Terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies (SAFETY) Act in 2002. The SAFETY Act is an incentive program that provides liability protections for claims resulting from an act of terrorism, where SAFETY Act approved technologies have been deployed. Any cyber security products, services, and/or policies are eligible for SAFETY Act protections as well. More information about Program can be found atwww.safetyact.gov.
