ADTcontinues to augment its traditional home and business security solutions with the announcement ofDigital Security by ADT, a new cybersecurity service with four levels of digital protection in the home.
The new ADT security suite includes identity protection, dark web defense, a secure VPN, and home network protection.
At CES 2018 in January, where the company introduced a video doorbell and theADT Gomonitoring service, ADT also announced its intention to launch additional cybersecurity products this year. The Digital Security by ADT rollout fulfills that promise.
Augmenting ADT’s conventional home security alarm systems and 24/7 monitoring with digital products and services is a logical next step.
“With online threats occurring more often than ever before, our mission evolved to not only help protect the premises,” said Jim DeVries, current President and incoming Chief Executive Officer of ADT, “but also people on the go and their network and digital identity. On average, cyberattacks are happening every 39 seconds, and Digital Security by ADT is an opportunity to extend the breadth and scale of our security monitoring to our customer’s personally identifiable information and network.”
Digital Security by ADT services:
ADT’s four cybersecurity service levels will roll out starting September 5 and during the next few months. Prices will range from $5 to $30 per month depending on the protection level.
ADT also partners with Samsung in theSamsung SmartThings ADT Home Security Kit, using ADT hardware in parallel with Samsung smart home devices. The new Digital Security by ADT differs from the ADT/Samsung home security kit by focusing on the digital home including user and network security, while the Home Security Kit monitors traditional property security threats such as break-ins, fire, water leaks, and carbon monoxide.
