PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST DATA LOSSES!

3Although the political slogan used to be "a chicken in every pot," a more accurate modern equivalent might be "a laptop in every home." As these devices have spread into every corner of our lives, the amount of personal information stored in them has increased exponentially.

Credit cards, bank accounts, financial records, legal documents, work projects, home businesses, and our kids' pictures reside as digital data in smartphones and tablets. As the amount of such stored data has exploded, has our ability to protect ourselves from the fallout from the damage or destruction of this data kept pace?

As professional insurance agents, we recognize our responsibility to protect clients from losses. After all, the best claim is the one that never happens. When the possible loss involves electronic data, insurance might be among the least effective solutions.

Talk with one of our personal risk staff about protecting your digital valuables through other alternatives, such as anti-virus software, firewalls for your home network, and updated backup procedures. For example, did you know that the DVD disks offer a high capacity backup for storing copies of your most valuable data?
