More $TRU news: TransUnion Introduces TruEmpower™ Scam Blocker to Help Insurers Protect Policyholders from Cyber Threats
Leading edge solution creates safer online experiences for individuals, families, and small businesses
CHICAGO, Oct. 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- While companies utilize several layers of security to help protect their businesses and employees against cyber attacks, consumers typically only have cyber incident support that deals with the consequences of a data breach or identity theft after it happens. For this reason, TransUnion (NYSE: TRU) today unveiled its TruEmpower™ Scam Blockerβa preventative solution guarding against a wide variety of sophisticated digital scamsβnow available for individuals, families, and small businesses, delivered through insurers.
Insurers who offer Scam Blocker to their policyholders can provide a safer online experience against cyber attacks, which in turn can reduce cyber claim costs of carriers by blocking fraudulent websites, phishing attempts, and other cyber threats on mobile devices and laptops. When combined with TransUnionβs award-winning expert cyber services and solutions, Scam Blocker helps to provide policyholders with a strong perimeter defense that proactively prevents most fraudulent cyber activity.
The Scam Blocker solution is leading edge and provided through a partnership between TransUnion and the NCC Group, a global expert in cyber security and risk mitigation. By combining the NCC Groupβs world-class, technical expertise and TransUnionβs insights and ecosystem, TruEmpower™ Scam Blocker will help insurers prevent and mitigate the harms of cyber fraud for its policyholders.
βAs our devices have become better at combatting cyber threats, fraudsters and hackers are now targeting people with social engineering scams. Many individuals are tricked into clicking the wrong link, sharing too much information, and, ultimately, losing large sums of money,β said Matt Cullina, head of TransUnionβs global cyber insurance business. βScam Blocker is a game changing market opportunity for insurers to expand beyond their reactive cyber insurance offerings by preventing victimization in the first place.β
Quantifying the ever-growing cyber risk, a TransUnion internal analysis found an 80% increase in social engineering scam claims in the previous eighteen (18) months. In addition, nearly 77,000 URLs are created daily on the internetβs open Domain Name Systemβand 86% of those are fraudulent. However, users are 90% less likely to acquire malware when a cyber-fraud, prevention solution, such as Scam Blocker, is enabled.
The full report findings are available in the quick guide, Why Concerns About Consumer Cyber Attacks Present an Opportunity for Insurers.
βIn addition to offering much needed cyber insurance coverage and crisis management support after policyholders experience a cyber event, insurers now have a preventative offering in their cyber tool kit,β said Mark McElroy, executive vice president and head of TransUnionβs insurance business. βScam Blocker not only helps protect people from the consequences of bad digital decisions, it also educates along the way to make policyholders safer in their future online engagement.β
NCC Group Chief Operating Officer, Kevin Brown comments: βTechnology solutions that offer cyber protection against the most notorious online fraud methods do exist but have long been unaffordable and inaccessible for individuals - NCC Group, working with TransUnion, and TransUnionβs insurance partners, is changing that. This is an example of meaningful collaboration with real impact across the industry ecosystem, and a solution that has huge potential to prevent harm at scale in the future.β
