Federal Employees Get LifeLock®
Federal employees who have an account with Avue Technologies Corp®. will get LifeLock's identity theft protection free of charge starting July 2008. Avue Technologies Corp. provides human resources software to federal agencies. They are the premier provider of human capital technology solutions to the Federal Government and are a certified HR Line of Business Shared Service Center. LifeLock® is the nation's leading provider of identity theft protection services.
Avue Technologies and LifeLock have come together to create a joint effort to protect Federal Government agencies from liability for identity theft. Security breaches have become all too common and single incident or data breach could cost the Government hundreds of millions of dollars for credit reporting and fraud mitigation.
Full-time employees of Federal agencies who are subscribers to Avue can “opt-in” through their normal Avue Navigator® desktop portal to receive LifeLock at no charge. Full story on Avue's website.
LifeLock’s $1 Million Total Service Guarantee says:
"If our system ever fails and your identity is stolen while you are our client, we will do everything we can to fix the problem. No matter what it takes or how long it takes, we will spend up to $1 million to get the problem resolved, reimburse you for any financial losses you incur, and give you back your good name. The only requirement is that you be a paying LifeLock client when the theft occurs and that your report to us be lawful and genuine."
The Federal Government has realized the dangers of security breaches that seem to be out of control. Federal Agencies and contractors have found out that failed cybersecurity may lead to criminal investigations and potential prosecution.
Teaming up with LifeLock will go a long way towards preventing and/or minimizing the damage that happens with identity theft.
