Rise in Cybercrime and Identity Theft

Cybercrime and identity theft among Canadians has skyrocketed in recent years.

In 2020, it was recorded that 57% of Canadians had reported being a victim of cybercrime, making it the most common cyber threat that Canadians are likely to encounter.1

Cybercriminals work around the clock, constantly learning new and stealthier ways to steal your information.

Utilizing sensitive material, they take over a person’s identity or account information for fraud and extortion to make financial gains.

With identity theft on the rise and affecting a majority of Canadians today, we created IDSeal Titan as a form of protection so consumers can better face these cybercriminals.

IDSeal Titan is a first of its kind Digital Privacy and Device Protection Suite. With the ability to protect your devices in real-time, IDSeal Titan guards your personal identity, sensitive information, and devices 24/7 with its shield of protection.
