Traditional alarm companies in Columbia SC provide around-the-clock monitoring of burglar and fire alarms and often integrate services such as CO detection, intercom and CCTV cameras. Such measures are the best way to protect your family and your investment, and home security often allows for a discount on your ho?meowners insurance policy. The Information Age, however, has brought with it new threats, and the traditional home security solution may not be enough.
Modern Security
Modern home security in South Carolina and throughout the country integrates high-tech measures to provide enhanced, more efficient performance and to protect against advanced threats better. In addition to being monitored around the clock, the modern system is networked and redundant. It reports potential issues before they become faults, and the redundancies ensure uptime. Modern security systems also provide remote access and protect against threats like identity theft.
The Dangers of Identity Threat
Identity fraud is not just the bogeyman of this era. It is a very real threat, and more than 8 million U.S. households suffer some form of it each year. In more than 75 percent of all identity theft instances, significant financial loss occurs. Often, a person does not rebound from identity theft quickly, and they must dig themselves out of a hole similar to what a person with bad credit experiences.
The Practical Side of Identity Threat
The good news is that identity fraud is often rather mundane and happens because a person got careless. Although the media often paints identity theft like a science fiction story, the truth is that most identity thefts occur by stealing mail or trash. This means that the most important steps to protecting yourself from such theft are steps that you can easily take yourself.
Safeguarding Your Identity
Be diligent about your personal information. Avoid giving it out unless it is required by law, and even then, ensure that there are protective measures in place. Avoid carelessness. Shred or burn all personal documents before discarding them, and do not send or receive any sensitive information in the mail. Buying checks online or by mail may seem harmless, but it is actually one of the most common ways that identity fraud occurs.
Using Real-Time Protection
To ensure thorough identity theft security in South Carolina, it is also necessary to have real-time monitoring of your credit history with all three major providers as well as real-time protection of your credit cards, debit cards and other financial options. Through such mechanisms, you can be alerted to suspicious behavior immediately and take quick action. In almost all identity theft cases where significant financial loss did not occur, it was because of immediate action by the victim.
American Burglar & Fire Alarms Security
AB&F is one of the most trusted and respected alarm companies in Columbia SC. AB&F uses Honeywell Total Connect 2.0, which is an integrated, networked and interactive alarm system, and service agreements include 24/7 monitoring, guaranteed monitoring rates, system failure guarantees and a lifetime warranty. AB&F also provides services that help protect your family from identity theft and protect them online. www.abf911.com
