“While developing this product, I was inspired by wanting to protect the people I care about the most,” said Shay Peretz, COO of ExpressVPN.
“Understanding potential risks, monitoring for threats, and having greater visibility into your personal security shouldn’t be complicated. Identity Defender is a must-have tool for anyone who values their privacy and security, and I’m incredibly proud that we’re bringing this level of protection and peace of mind to our ExpressVPN users.”
