The risk of becoming a victim of identity theft has never been greater

We are increasingly living our lives in the digital realm. Whether we’re banking, purchasing or browsing, our daily activities are most likely taking place online. Not only has this sped up our efficiency, but it has also expanded our exposure to a host of cybercriminals who are eager to use our personal information.

According to the Federal Trade Commissioner (FTC), incidents of identity theft and related fraud rose nationwide in the United State in 2021. Consumers lost more than 5.8 billion, skyrocketing over 70% from the previous year. The FTC received 5.7 million fraud and identity theft reports in 2021. Over a million of these reports were consumer identity theft cases.

The rise in identity theft and fraud means it’s especially important to secure not only the devices you use but also your personal identity.

Your identity is unique to you. Keep it that way with Webroot and Allstate Identity Protection

There are many steps you can take to ensure your identity isn’t compromised:

• Shredding bank statements
• Securing important documents
• Ensuring your passwords are effectively managed
• Investing in a quality antivirus for your devices

However, these actions won’t help you regularly monitor your financial accounts, scan for emerging threats or provide fraud or stolen funds reimbursement.

That’s where Webroot can help. Webroot has partnered with Allstate Identity Protection to offer two unique ways to preserve both your devices and identity: Webroot™ Premium and Allstate Identity Protection Add-on.
