  • Protection for Various Devices

For most people, digital devices have become a necessity during this time of the pandemic. You can attend video conferences and meetings, shop online at your preferred online store, and even interact with your friends and loved ones. However, this only puts us at the risk of cybercriminals, especially when we don’t secure these transactions.

This tool can offer protection for several devices, whether using a laptop, tablet, smartphone, or other devices.

As you browse through the various websites and social media platforms, you are likely to leave traces of your personal information on the internet. Besides, using public Wi-Fi to browse online can make you a victim of identity theft.

To access the dark web, you need special software like that of TELUS Online Security. This helpful feature will check if your personal or financial information is found on the web, and it will then notify you. With this feature, you can prevent cybercriminals from using your information to do malicious activities.
