Why Kindsight

The Kindsight service delivers increased levels of protection against identity theft and other attacks by complementing today’s consumer security offerings. One can think of Kindsight as your identity theft “smoke alarm”.  If it detects the presence of a threat (i.e. smoke) it will send you an alert (i.e. sound the alarm) to ensure your personal information stays safe. 

The advantages of the Kindsight service are:

• It cannot be disabled by criminals because it is embedded in the service provider network.
• It is always-on, always-up-to-date and works when your anti-virus does not.
• There is nothing to install so the service will not slow down your computer or Internet connection.
• It can be offered at no-cost with significantly better privacy practices than today’s online applications and without displaying additional ads or pop-ups.

Cannot be Disabled by Criminals

Today’s criminals are more sophisticated and have shown the ability to disable the security applications on your computer without you knowing it. Then, they’ll attack this vulnerable system to capture your personal information. By comparison, Kindsight determines the presence of threats in your home computers by analyzing your Internet traffic within the service provider’s network. Since the solution is embedded in the network, it can only be turned off by you and cannot be disabled by criminals.

Always-on and Always-Up-to-date

Today’s multi-computer home environments mean it’s hard to keep anti-virus and all your other applications up-to-date on every computer.  It only takes one missed update to your anti-virus or your application software such as your OS to enable a significant vulnerability on one of your computers. The Kindsight service is continually kept up-to-date by Kindsight and the participating ISP so it works when your anti-virus does not.

Will Not Slow Down your Computer or Internet

With the Kindsight service, there is no software to install on your computer and, since nothing is downloaded, there is no risk of corrupting any other applications on the computer. Better yet, because the Kindsight service is embedded in the network it does not affect the performance of your computer or your Internet connection.

No-cost Service with the Highest Privacy Practices

Like search engines, you have the option to enable the Kindsight service at no cost. If you select this option, the ISP may analyze your Internet traffic to substitute ads you would normally see on its own and selected partner websites with ads that may be more relevant to people like you. You will not see more ads or pop-ups because of this service.  

While other online companies offer no-cost services, Kindsight services are built around privacy practices that surpass those implemented by today’s leading online application providers and our ISP partners will ask you to opt-in before offering the Kindsight services.
