Identity Theft 911 Unveils New eLearning Platform for Insurance Companies, Agents and Policyholders

Identity Theft 911, the nation’s premier provider of identity and data risk management services, today announces its all-new eLearning Platform designed to offer customizable online training as a complement to its identity theft and small to mid-sized data breach avoidance and resolution services. The company will demonstrate the training tool at NAMIC's 116th Annual Convention, the largest insurance company meeting in the United States, held in Indianapolis on September 18 through September 21, 2011. The solution offers courseware on data security, privacy, breach awareness, compliance and best practices—delivered through a state-of-the-art, modular Web-based platform.

According to The Digital Forensics Association’s annual data breach report, there was a known disclosure of 806.2 million records in 3,765 data loss incidents from 2005 through 2010. Although there are many possible causes for a data breach, they most often result from employee negligence or a lost or stolen electronic device. All businesses that handle or store private business, customer, patient or employee data are susceptible.

The Identity Theft 911 eLearning Platform is a turnkey, aptitude based solution that helps insurance companies educate agents, policyholders and internal claims teams on managing and safeguarding against identity and data breach risks. The modular based eLearning Platform works hand-in-hand with Identity Theft 911’s planning and response data breach services, which include guidance in creating a breach response strategy, as well as access to a team of data breach experts. With administration, fulfillment and reporting fully managed by Identity Theft 911, the eLearning Platform can seamlessly and effortlessly be added into any company. It can be offered as an enhancement to commercial insurance packages and business owner policies. Also, carriers and agents can use successful completion of courses for discount eligibility.

“Our new eLearning Platform provides insurers with an easy way to deliver important online training on data security and privacy anywhere and anytime to staff, agents and policyholders. It can help insurers control risks and liabilities and develop better relationships with policyholders and potential policyholders," said Matt Cullina, CEO, Identity Theft 911. “As the first to offer a comprehensive, online data security training platform, we've designed our Web-based learning tool to be interactive, up-to-date and measurable. With Web access for up to 10,000 e-learners at one time, it's a scalable solution companies won't outgrow.”
