Tom Fragala announced on his blog that "Truston received a 2008 Product Innovation Award from Network Products Guide for our myTruston Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform."
Tom is a well known blogger on the subject of identity theft, was really a victim himself, and has spent a lot of time advocating for victims. He quoted Networks Product Guide as saying:
Truston's innovative SaaS platform offers an organized approach to getting a stolen identity back and keeping it safe.Some of them also require you sign a power of attorney to use their service.myTruston is the only ID theft product that does not require sensitive data, is the only SaaS product in the space, supports virtually all fraud types, has unlimited content extensibility, is built on a patent-pending task management engine and allows for seamless integration with partner's web sites.”
Truston is a platform that allows the individual to protect themselves and recover from identity theft without handing over their personal and financial information. Many of their competitors maintain this information in databases, which seem to be compromised, frequently.
In fact, there is so much compromised information out there, no one is really sure how much there is. Finjan, a noted computer security company, has recently been finding crime servers containing a lot of stolen information that no one knew had been compromised before. Ironically, the owners of these crime servers didn't even bother to password protect them in certain instances. Despite this, we read about known data breaches all the time.
This isn't the first award Truston has received from the technology industry and I suspect it won't be the last. The neat thing is that if you are reading this article, Tom is still offering a free 45-day trial. Of course, the protection part always has been free.
