Introduction

Data and identity theft protection is an important subset of your computer security regime which includes anti-virus, anti-malware and perimeter defense tools like firewalls and intrusion prevention systems (IPS). Most security products today focus on resolving problems based on known vulnerabilities and inbound traffic whereas data and identity theft protection is concerned specifically with data loss prevention. This paper discusses the different types of defense mechanisms available and how they differ from BlackFog’s approach to threat detection and prevention.
