Identity theft is big business for criminals. By some estimates, as many as 15 million Americans are victimized annually by identity theft, whether it's having fraudulent credit cards set up in their names or having personal information stolen in a data
breach. With each incident taking time and money to clear up, the economic impact is in the tens of billions of dollars annually. It's no surprise that identity theft is big business for the good guys, as well, with vendors offering solutions that range from tools to prevent data breaches to credit-watch and fraud-monitoring services. But there's a new player in the field, and it brings more than 2,000 combined years of law enforcement investigation experience with it.
