Kindsight and PlumChoice Team Up to Better Protect Home Networks
New Partnership Helps Consumers Remove Security Threats and Defend Against Online Identity Theft
(firmenpresse) - MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA and BILLERICA, MA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/15/11 -- and today announced a strategic partnership to help consumers better protect home networks with tools and services to prevent online identity theft. PlumChoice, which offers remote technical support, and Kindsight, a provider of online identity theft protection, will work with service providers to offer a suite of security and protection services for home Internet users.
When the Kindsight service detects a threat in the user's Internet traffic, it sends an alert via email or SMS. Now, with PlumChoice, users have the choice of either following the step-by-step instructions provided by Kindsight to remove the threat or to contact the PlumChoice U.S.-based IT certified technicians who can connect remotely to remove the threat and help to secure the user's home networks against future attacks.
Users benefit from the Kindsight security technology, which is deployed in the service provider's network so there is nothing for the user install and it cannot be disabled by criminals, and a live support team from PlumChoice that can help that service provider's subscribers through the process of eradicating the threat from their home network.
"Online identity theft is a critical security issue that many consumers are not equipped to address," said Brendan Ziolo, VP, Marketing for Kindsight. "Traditional anti-virus software and a firewall are necessary to protect your personal information but you also need a network-based security layer that analyzes your Internet traffic and alerts you of threats when your anti-virus and other security precautions do not. We've found that, depending on the malware, users may need extra help to remove the threat and ensure their home network is safe. Our partnership with PlumChoice allows users to connect with a team of experts to help them fix the problem. It's a win-win scenario."
