2001 - IT Risk Managers, Inc. (ITRisk), a firm headed by Internet

had finalized a deal to purchase Insurancesurf.com, a South Hill,
Washington based insurance specific search engine and Insurancesurf.com, Inc. was founded in 1999 as a resource for the insurance industry. In addition to providing e-business solutions to the industry, Insurancesurf.com was one of the first on-line search engines designed specifically for the insurance professional. "With the acquisition of Insurancesurf.com, ITRisk Managers strengthens its e-business solutions expertise and can now offer more than traditional insurance wholesalers," notes Larry Harb, president and CEO of ITRisk. "We can now provide the agent with all of the tools needed to do business in the new world of virtual risk and exposures " At www.Insurancesurf.com, the professional agent can find most of their traditional day-to-day resources in an on-line format and at one web site. Most professional insurance agents have found this to be a great benefit. According to Jeff Sartin and Mike Simms, Insurancesurf.com co-founders, "our two firms have had a strong informal working relationship in the past. This acquisition shows ITRisk's commitment to the insurance agency by providing a complete cyber business solution." ITRisk Managers, Inc., founded in November 2000, provides Internet and Technology risk management training, educational seminars, insurance wholesaling and web site development services to the insurance industry.

As hacking escalates and more companies experience breaches in their Internet security processes, management is becoming more concerned with the risks and exposures they face in doing business on-line. They need to be able to rely on knowledgeable professionals to help them understand the issues and to assist them with the risk management solutions.
