Identity Theft Protection is a term used collectively to describe the various measures people can take to ensure that their personal information is not compromised. What does this mean exactly? It means taking steps to safeguard your identity from being stolen, misused, and potentially damaging to you.

There are lots of types of protections one can use; for example, setting up two-factor authentication for online accounts, creating strong passwords and regularly changing them, shredding important documents such as receipts before disposing of them, monitoring financial statements and credit reports regularly, using secure networks when using public Wi-Fi, not revealing personal information on social media or other websites and so forth.
