NEW YORK, NY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- April 3, 2007 -- The Risk and Insurance Management Society,
Inc. (RIMS) announced that it will offer the MyPublicInfo, Inc. signature
identity theft prevention service, IdentitySweep, as a discounted special
benefit to RIMS members. IdentitySweep uses identity scoring, an innovative
new method of fraud prevention, to search databases and chat rooms for
Social Security numbers, debit card numbers, credit card numbers and other
consumer information that may be hacked, stolen, or breached.
"As risk management professionals, our members take identity theft very
seriously and we are enthusiastic about adding an identity theft prevention
tool to the group of benefits that RIMS membership offers," says Joseph
Restoule, RIMS secretary and member of the board of directors.
"MyPublicInfo's innovative technology will play a significant role in
helping deliver an important resource to the risk management community."
IdentitySweep is a real-time identity theft protection solution for the
average consumer. The service empowers users to proactively protect their
data and avert identity crimes through innovative software tools that
"sweep" the Internet for personal information. Says Dr. Harold Kraft, CEO
and founder of MyPublicInfo and identity scoring expert, "We are extremely
excited about the opportunity to provide IdentitySweep to RIMS. Many of the
RIMS members represent the risk managers for 80 percent of Fortune 1000
companies. The Society's member organizations include more than 70 percent
of U.S. and Canadian companies with 10,000 or more employees."
