Tech Trend: Latest Security Services Bucyrus OH

Computer security companies are now not only selling you software to protect your valuable data, but have begun to add extra services like data-loss insurance and--believe it or not--counseling.

For example, T3 US, maker of the T3 Full Security Suite, offers its $100 T3 Travel Smart data encryption package; the software permits access to user-defined folders on a laptop only when you insert the right USB key. T3 also insures the system against theft for $1500, which it pays out when you provide the USB key and proof of purchase.

Meanwhile, the new version 6.5 of Zone Labs' ZoneAlarm Pro firewall will include credit card monitoring, fee-based credit protection services, and counseling services for identity theft victims. The program's pricing and release date were not available as of press time.
