You can encrypt and backup your data. You can build strong, long passwords on all your accounts and use a VPN. You can be hyper-vigilant about each and every institution that interacts with your sensitive personal data.

Yet despite the highest degree of watchfulness over your information, it’s important to remember that cybercriminals don’t have to beat you. They only have to beat the weakest bank, utility, merchant, social media platform, or other organization that may have access to your data.

As we’ve covered often, protecting your online data is harder than you think. You can’t stand on 24/7/365 monitor duty over your vital stats everywhere, so it makes sense to enlist identity theft measures to go with your life, health, homeowners, auto, and other protections.

While you could set up various levels of digital coverage yourself, Aura Identity Theft Protection brings that web of monitoring and security services together in an easy-to-sign up, easy-to-use, all-in-one platform.

Aura starts at home, offering staunch device and account protection measures. They’ll keep an eye on all of your registered online accounts and let you know if they detect your personal information as being potentially compromised on the dark web. Branching out, most of Aura’s plans monitor your credit files for potentially suspicious activity and they watch your Social Security Number and other sensitive information that you provide to them for signs of bank fraud, unauthorized wire transfers, new bank account openings, and more.

Aura can also help detect when criminals have swiped your information to impersonate you when they’re charged with a crime or involved in a court case. If Aura spots any illicit use of your assets or information that you provided to Aura, they can alert you in near real-time, help lock or freeze your accounts and credit, and even include up to $1 million* to cover eligible losses and fees racked up by identity theft and fraud.

Those services are handled by Aura’s always available, U.S.-based support team, a crew with an average of seven years’ experience each resolving up to 150,000 fraud cases.

With Aura’s transparent pricing, members aren’t subjected to surprise fees either. New users can easily protect their data with up to 50 percent off from Aura.
