Research and Markets: Fifth Annual ID Protection Services Scorecard: Increased Focus on Antivirus, Social Media, Child and Medical Identity Theft, Yet Prevention Still Lags

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/7c8f5f/fifth_annual_id_pr) has announced the addition of Javelin Strategy & Research's new report "Fifth Annual ID Protection Services Scorecard: Increased Focus on Antivirus, Social Media, Child and Medical Identity Theft, Yet Prevention Still Lags" to their offering.

In Javelin's fifth annual identity protection report, we examine the rapidly changing ID protection services industry. Product innovation and future fraud concerns driving that innovation are addressed in this report along with a look at what some of the top ID protection products are offering. Trends in the industry include the growing role of antivirus software in the ID protection space, the future of fraud and social media, and how vendors are addressing child identity theft and medical ID fraud.

Twenty-four of the top products were evaluated in this report based on their consumer-facing prevention, detection, and resolution capabilities. Products were split into three major categories: ID protection services branded and offered through a financial institution, ID protection services offered through one of the three major credit bureaus, and ID protection offered through an independent vendor. Most products have gravitated toward a more holistic approach to addressing ID protection, offering both personal information monitoring as well as credit monitoring.
