Digital Security 101

Aura and IdentityForce both offer "all-in-one" solutions to protect your identity — but there are specific differences that make one the clear winner.

Identity Guard is one of the original (and best) identity theft protection services — but you still might be better off with one of these alternatives.

Your personal information — including your email, phone number, and even SSN — can be compromised in a data breach or hack, putting you at risk of fraud.

Identity theft insurance helps reimburse stolen funds, legal fees, and other recovery costs associated with ID fraud. Coverage may vary by plan.

If someone used your personal information and SSN to file taxes, you need to report the issues immediately and protect yourself against identity theft.

If scammers use stolen information to file taxes in your name, it can cost you time, energy, and even money — unless you put protective measures in place.

A data breach alert tells you what information was leaked and provides guidance on how to stay safe — but there’s more you can do to protect yourself.

While Allstate is well-known for car and home protection, its identity monitoring may not offer some of the usability available in newer products.
