Transurety is grouping the set of technologies under the brand name Insuriti and claims its patents are the first to address Internet transmission insurance. The patents cover four processes the company said is needed to make such an industry work:

Transurety, a Minnesota patent-holding company that acquired the original company behind the technology, plans to license it to companies in the insurance industry that can then offer policies to banks, health-care companies, law firms, and other enterprises.

The company's technology may also help security software vendors offer expanded warranties that cover losses that occur if their products don't work, Stern said.

In another situation, insurance could be taken out by an institution, such as a bank, to cover the risk involved in operations such as online banking,Furla Uk VBxon. It could be offered to customers for extra assurance that they&#39,Coach Bags Australia (http://beatsbydre-australia.webs.com/);ll be protected if something goes wrong because of a network problem, Stern said.
