The rise in data breaches has increased concerns about identity theft and the unauthorized release of personal data. A recent study conducted by CyberScout found that 69 percent of people admitted they would spend “work” time resolving identity theft issues. More businesses are offering identity theft services as a voluntary employee benefit because of identity theft’s hindrance to productivity.
“Employees impacted by cyber issues such as fraud, identity theft, cyberbullying, ransom attack and extortion quickly become distracted and less productive employees,” said Justin Oliver, vice president, employee benefits for CyberScout. “Including identity theft protection services and cyber insurance as employee benefits is critical in today’s business landscape to ensure the workforce can quickly resolve cyber issues with minimal stress.”
