Washington, DC (Oct. 10, 2017)<\/em> \u2014 ID Agent, a provider of Dark Web monitoring and identity theft protection solutions, has made its advanced, yet affordable personal identity and credit monitoring service, SpotLight ID, available exclusively through the reseller channel. With the rise in Internet of Things (IoT) connected devices, a dramatically increased risk that a client\u2019s employees\u2019 personal identity can be stolen and used to exploit the client\u2019s cybersecurity defenses has resulted. By providing personal identity and credit monitoring to clients for their employees, a tax-deductible benefit, MSPs extend defenses beyond their perimeter to their weakest link\u2014their people.<\/p>\n

\u201cCustomers, employees, key executives and high-risk personnel are often targeted and exploited on the Dark Web, the portion of the Internet that is hidden from conventional search engines, holding a wealth of stolen data and illegal activity,\u201d said Dana Liedholm, VP Global Channel Programs at ID Agent. \u201cWith data breaches at a record high, ID Agent\u2019s SpotLight ID is an opportunity for MSPs to provide identity protection to their customers at a fraction of what it would cost through the leading credit bureaus. As a result, the response to SpotLight ID so far from the MSP community has been amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Criminal organizations, hacktivists and social hackers obtain and sell hundreds of thousands of stolen credentials on the Dark Web daily. Employees are the greatest assets, but they can also serve as the largest vulnerability. When an employee\u2019s information is compromised, hackers can socially engineer their way into a client\u2019s systems.<\/p>\n

Additionally, SpotLight ID can also be offered as a benefit for employees and customers, as a value-add to protect and retain executive team members, and as a comprehensive breach response for individuals impacted by compromise.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m already helping to protect my customers with real-time domain monitoring provided by ID Agent\u2019s stolen credential monitoring solution for businesses, Dark Web ID,\u201d said Peter Verlezza, managing partner at SMB Networks. \u201cBy protecting the people who work for those customers with the affordable and government-tested personal identity monitoring SpotLight ID delivers, I know my customer\u2019s business is that much safer from potential breach.\u201d<\/p>\n

SpotLight ID detects unauthorized access to your personal identity long before your credit bureau report is updated. Backed by ID Agent\u2019s $1 million identity theft restoration policy, MSPs\u2019 clients can proactively protect employees and customers while enhancing their overall cybersecurity awareness. ID Agent\u2019s Dark Web monitoring and identity theft protection solutions are also being used by MSPs as a door opener to speak about other services and capabilities, showing customers how they can protect their most valuable asset\u2014their digital identity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to be helping MSPs secure their customer\u2019s business identity with our Dark Web ID solution,\u201d said Kevin Lancaster, CEO of ID Agent. \u201cBusiness owners and executives are starting to realize that helping to protect their employees\u2019 personal identities should be a fundamental element of their overall cybersecurity initiatives, not just an employee benefit. Our partners are now able to offer our SpotLight ID personal and credit monitoring solutions as the next logical step toward securing their customer\u2019s online presence. With high profile breaches occurring at an \u001balarming frequency, the timing is critical.\u201d<\/p>\n
