Cyveillance provides real-time industry leading ID theft solution to Canada's top consumer privacy and security service

OAKVILLE, ONT. / ARLINGTON, Va., – May 3, 2010 – Cyveillance, a world leader in cyber intelligence, and Opie Marketing Group, owners and operators of Protection Power™, today announced a strategic alliance. This new agreement will bring Cyveillance's advanced detection of compromised credentials on the Internet through Cyveillance Identity Theft Protection™ to Canadian consumers for the first time, further strengthening Protection Power's service offerings and its position as Canada's top consumer identity theft protection service.

“We are pleased to join forces with Cyveillance in the battle against identity crimes,” says Jamie Opalchuk, CEO of Opie Marketing. “Identity theft is an increasing threat to all Canadians. By working with Cyveillance, we are able to offer our members a stronger, more effective package to protect themselves and their futures.”

Cyveillance technology comprehensively monitors the open Internet to discover leaked or stolen personal information. As sensitive personal data is discovered, Cyveillance Identity Theft Protection provides the updated intelligence to Protection Power that, in turn, alerts members to take proactive steps to combat and minimize the damage of the fraud. This timely notification of compromised personal data is a critical component of fighting identity theft. For consumers unaware that their personal information has been stolen, the damage is often swift and far reaching.

“As the sophistication of online threats continues to rise, the need to protect users from online fraud is more critical than ever,” said Panos Anastassiadis, COO of Cyveillance. “At Cyveillance we focus on providing our customers and partners with best-of-breed solutions to effectively combat identity theft through our comprehensive, automated cyber intelligence services.”

Cyveillance Identity Theft Protection provides real-time access to the same intelligence used by many of the top credit card issuing banks and credit unions. This intelligence enables organizations to reduce fraud-related losses through the proactive detection of high-risk transactions and empowers consumers to take steps to protect themselves before fraud occurs.
