CyEx and HealthLock Join Forces: A New Era in Medical Identity Protection

In an era where personal data is increasingly vulnerable, CyEx, a leader in cyber and data breach solutions, has taken a significant step in safeguarding consumer rights by partnering with HealthLock. Together, they've launched the Medical Shield Ultra, a powerful new tool developed to combat the ever-growing threats of medical identity theft and fraud.

The Growing Risks of Medical Identity Theft

Medical identity theft is on the rise, with recent reports indicating a staggering 700+ data breach class-action lawsuits filed in 2024 alone, affecting over 250 million individuals. As medical institutions transition to digital records, they become prime targets for cybercriminals eager to exploit personal information.

CyEx recognizes the urgency of this issue. "Our primary objective is to help consumers keep their information safe and private. However, as more healthcare providers adopt digital records, the instances of medical identity theft and healthcare fraud have surged," stated Jerry Thompson, President and Founder of CyEx. In response, the Medical Shield Ultra with HealthLock offers comprehensive protection, including real-time monitoring, proactive alerts, and methods for remediation, thereby ensuring customers can secure their medical and financial well-being.

Incorporating HealthLock into the Medical Shield Ultra offers even more advanced features:

• - Breach Monitoring 24/7: This service identifies HIPAA violations and monitors for any unauthorized data sharing that can compromise patients’ privacy.
• - Medical Claim Tracker: Provides a centralized overview to verify insurance claims, allowing consumers to take control of their billing history.

Teaming up with CyEx on Medical Shield Ultra allows us to provide an even stronger protection offering, empowering consumers.”
