Today, it’s more important than ever to protect your online privacy when using the internet. Connecting to your local coffee shop’s public Wi-Fi while enjoying your favorite cup of coffee and pastry is undoubtedly convenient but puts you at risk for a data breach. Even when using your home Wi-Fi, you’re vulnerable.
How can a VPN protect you online?
Using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) protects your data while you use other networks, keeping your browsing history, passwords, etc. hidden. A VPN also blocks your browsing history from your internet service providers. If they were to experience a breach, access to your internet data could fall into the wrong hands.
IDShield’s VPN from Trend Micro™, utilizes bank-grade data encryption to prevent incoming and outgoing internet traffic from being tracked, hacked, or censored. It turns a public hotspot into a secure Wi-Fi. The IDShield Individual Plan protects up to three devices, and the IDShield Family Plan protects up to 15.
IDShield also provides access to Trend Micro Anti-Malware Protection, Mobile Security, and a Password Manager.
