ShieldAI Identity Protection

ShieldAI scans dark web forums and breach databases for exposed credentials associated with your identity, similar to the dark web monitoring offered by Norton LifeLock and other competitors. The distinguishing feature is ShieldAI's personalized Risk Score, which aggregates findings into a single metric to help you prioritize which exposures to address first.

ShieldAI provides real-time credit monitoring that is designed to surface new accounts, hard inquiries, and address changes across the three major credit bureaus. You should confirm the specific bureau coverage included in your subscription tier, as some plans may monitor only one or two bureaus rather than all three.

ShieldAI's Risk Score is a personalized metric that aggregates factors such as the number of compromised credentials found in dark web scans, recent credit profile changes, and the presence of your personal data on public broker listings. A higher score indicates greater identity exposure, helping you prioritize which vulnerabilities—such as reused passwords or exposed addresses—to remediate first.

Many comprehensive identity protection services in this category include insurance coverage for stolen funds and legal expenses related to identity restoration. Check your specific ShieldAI plan for the coverage amount and whether a dedicated restoration specialist is assigned to guide you through the recovery process.
