Drivers can prevent their premium rates to increase following an at-fault accident by purchasing accident forgiveness.

Accident forgiveness is an optional coverage that will help drivers to keep their car insurance rates low if they caused an accident. Not every car insurance company offers this coverage, so it’s important for drivers to check if their insurer offers this option.

Depending on the severity of the accident and their driving record, causing an accident can make policyholders’ premium rates go up with as much as 50%. In order to avoid this thing to happen, some insurance companies offer the accident forgiveness option. Usually, this coverage will make sure policyholders premium rates stay the same after their first at-fault accident.

Accident forgiveness programs vary a lot from one insurance company to another. Also, accident forgiveness is not offered in every state. Some companies will offer accident forgiveness automatically when policyholders renew their auto policy, while others will offer accident forgiveness as an option for drivers to purchase. There are several insurance companies that will offer accident forgiveness for free for those loyal customers that maintained a cleaned driving record for several years.

Depending on the insurer, accident forgiveness policy will forgive the policyholder for a single at-fault accident that happened once in a period that ranges from one year to three years, or for multiple at-fault accidents that happened in the same period. Also, if it happens that the policyholder gets involved in an accident while he is covered by accident forgiveness, and he does not follow up that that accident with other accidents, the policyholder premium rates can drop with as much as $100 for every year if he maintains a clean driving record.

We are honored to be recognized in the prestigious SINET 16 Innovator Awards by this group of expert judges and to be part of the 2020 class of strong and innovative start-up companies.

FULTON, Md. (PRWEB)
October 01, 2020

ReFirm Labs, a provider of the industry’s first proactive IoT and firmware security solutions, has been named a 2020 SINET 16 Innovator Winner. ReFirm Labs was selected among hundreds of nominees around the world by the esteemed SINET Judging Committee, which consists of over 100 industry experts including CISOs in the private and public sectors, VCs and other high-profile influencers. This highly sought out annual award recognizes sixteen early-stage cybersecurity companies with innovative solutions addressing urgent marketplace needs.

IoT firmware is the next big attack vector and a national security issue. Due to the explosion of connected devices, IoT firmware – the specific class of software that controls the IoT device – presents a largely unprotected attack surface. Hackers can take advantage of vulnerabilities and backdoors to gain access to, and move laterally within, corporate or critical infrastructure networks for malicious behavior and nation-state espionage. As more regulations are being put in place to address these risks, device manufacturers and device buyers are struggling to comply.

“Our vision is that firmware security analysis will become a requirement for all connected devices, just as application security scanning has become required for mobile, web and enterprise applications,” said Derick Naef, CEO of ReFirm Labs. “ReFirm Labs is seeing record growth this year and we are honored to be recognized in the prestigious SINET 16 Innovator Awards by this group of expert judges and to be part of the 2020 class of strong and innovative start-up companies.”

Built by NSA offensive operators, ReFirm Labs Centrifuge analyzes firmware like a nation-state actor. Centrifuge is a cloud-based, highly scalable platform that vets, validates, and continuously monitors the security of IoT and embedded device firmware, protecting against emerging cyber threats while enabling automated compliance reporting and supply chain integrity. Centrifuge has been proven to increase productivity for security teams while reducing the number of breaches on internet-connected devices.

On Tuesday, October 20, during SINET Live, ReFirm Labs will be presenting a demonstration of its technology. For more information on the SINET 16 award, please visit here.

“Online car insurance quotes can help drivers save money. Drivers only need a few minutes to compare multiple quotes in order to save hundreds of dollars”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
September 30, 2020

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that explains why is important to compare car insurance quotes.

For more info and free car insurance quotes, please visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/compare-prices-using-car-insurance-quotes/

Nowadays, purchasing car insurance is very easy. The internet has changed the way car insurance is bought. Many people have busy working schedules, and traveling from one insurance agency to another in order to obtain a few quotes to compare is not an option. However, with the help of the internet, drivers can easily compare multiple online quotes.

Drivers should compare online car insurance quotes for the following reasons:

• 
      Online quotes can be obtained in a comfortable manner. Before the rise of the internet and the creation of brokerage websites, drivers could have obtained quotes by going from one insurance agency to another, or by phone calling different agents. Both of these methods were time-consuming. However, the internet can help drivers obtain quotes in just a few minutes. Policyholders only need an internet connection and a smart device that can browse internet pages. Drivers are no longer needed to travel in bad weather from one insurer to another in order to get quotes. They can get online quotes while being in the comfort of their homes.
•     Online quotes can save money. This is why drivers compare quotes. Drivers can easily save hundreds of dollars per year on their insurance. Comparing multiple quotes can help drivers find better insurance deals. Besides that, policyholders can adjust the parameters of the quote and simulate insurance plans. In many cases, drivers obtained insurance plans that offered the same protection they needed, but at lower prices.
•     Multiple offers in one place. It is known that brokerage websites are working with multiple insurers. After a policyholder completes an online form, he will immediately receive multiple car insurance quotes from different insurance providers.
•     Online quotes can be very accurate. To obtain very accurate insurance price estimates, drivers should complete complex online questionnaires. Policyholders should ensure that all the data is correct and they didn’t forget to add the traffic violations.
•     Discover new insurance companies. Online quotes will help drivers discover new insurance companies that are allowed to sell policies at a local or regional level. In many occasions, these small insurers can offer better insurance deals when compared to large, known insurance companies.
