Digital Security by ADT Launches Identity Protection Nationwide
September 06 2018 - 9:00AM
Today, ADT Inc. (NYSE: ADT), a leading provider of security and
automation solutions for homes and businesses, announced Digital
Security by ADT, a new cybersecurity service that will offer peace
of mind at home and on-the-go by helping protect a customer’s
personal identity, digital data, home network and financial
information. Beginning today, Identity Protection will be
exclusively available on ADT’s enhanced e-Commerce platform,
providing convenience and clarity for customers to shop for their
security needs when and how they want.
“Since ADT began in 1874, our mission has been to help keep
families and homes safe,” said Jim DeVries, current President and
incoming Chief Executive Officer of ADT. “With online threats
occurring more often than ever before, our mission evolved to not
only help protect the premises, but also people on the go and their
network and digital identity. On average, cyber-attacks are
happening every 39 seconds*, and Digital Security by ADT is an
opportunity to extend the breadth and scale of our security
monitoring to our customers’ personally identifiable information
and network.”
With nearly eight in ten people experiencing, or knowing someone
who has experienced, cybercrime**, digital protection has never
been more important. Digital Security by ADT provides cybersecurity
options for every consumer, including different levels of identity
theft monitoring and protection, a personal secure virtual network
(VPN) for easy and secure app-based Wi-Fi privacy outside of the
home, and home network security using the secure Wi-Fi router,
which can be installed by a trained ADT technician in minutes.
Digital Security by ADT services and products will include:
Available Today:
- Identity Protection: Provides monitoring and
support to help customers minimize their risk of identity theft and
loss exposure. In addition to enabling customers to track their
credit report activity and score so they can keep tabs on
potentially fraudulent use of their credit, the service also
includes: change of address notifications, public courts and
criminal records monitoring, and 24/7 fraud incident resolution
with up to one million dollars in Identity Theft Expense
Reimbursement.***
Scheduled for launch this Fall:

protect customers by continually monitoring the public and private
internet, notifying customers of possible suspicious activities
associated with their personally identifiable information,
including SSN, DOB, Passport, Drivers License, Medical ID number,
credit/debit cards, bank accounts, telephone numbers and email
addresses. Once alerted, customers can take proactive steps, such
as calling ADT experts available 24/7 to begin fraud incident
resolution services.
- Secure VPN: A powerful, yet easy-to-use, app
for Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS devices that helps shield user’s
information from cybercriminals attempting to hack into a user’s

received from computers or mobile devices. The app also enables
anonymous browsing and access to users’ favorite apps and content
anywhere they go, as if they were at home.

digital security offerings, including an ADT-installed secure Wi-Fi
router that helps protect customers’ home networks and an unlimited
