Stay one step ahead of data breaches
NETGEAR Armor now includes Dark Web Monitoring - going beyond your home network and devices to help reduce the risk of identity fraud.
What is the dark web?
The internet is bigger than what you can see.
The websites, apps, and online services you use may store personal information—and if that information is exposed, you might not find out until it’s already being misused. Dark Web Monitoring looks for your personal information on the dark web and alerts you when it’s found, so you can take action to secure your accounts and help reduce the risk of fraud, account takeover, and identity theft.
