David: You're offering an insurance policy of some sort with this. Can you tell us about it?

Wade: Sereniti offers a zero-deductible insurance policy for victims of identity theft that covers up to $25,000 in expenses for repairing credit records as well as lost wages. On average, identity theft victims suffer as many as 175 hours lost from work in their efforts to repair credit records.

In addition, Sereniti offers a zero-deductible $1,000 policy that covers damage to computers and software as the result of viruses. Both policies are underwritten by American International Group, Inc. (AIG), the world's leading international insurance and financial services organization.

The policies are included at no additional cost with a subscription to the Sereniti service and provide coverage to all customers who install Sereniti's Security Software Suite.

Wade has a lot of knowledge on the topic of identity theft. We've done another complete interview with him on that scary subject. We'll be running that interview in a future issue. Stay tuned.
