Partnering with Trend Micro, a global cybersecurity company, IDShield announces the most advanced security protection plan on the market to combat cybercrime. IDShield protects and empowers individuals, families, and small businesses in the United States and Canada.
New protection features use cloud-based AI technology to ensure complete, maximum security for all devices to protect against ransomware, viruses, dangerous websites, identity theft and more.
"We're bringing the most affordable, full-service protection plan available to people so they can enjoy life and not worry if their personal information is in danger," said Jeff Bell, CEO of LegalShield. "In today's world, taking small steps to build your digital defense is one of the greatest investments you can make for yourself and your family. We're making it easy to take that step toward peace of mind."
