LifeLock Expands Identity Protection to Cover Full Financial Lifecycles
Event summary
- LifeLock, a Gen Digital brand, launched new identity protection plans on February 12, 2026, targeting the growing complexity of Americans' financial lives.
- The new offerings include three tiers (Core, Advanced, Total) with escalating coverage for checking accounts, investments, and property ownership.
- Key features include AI-powered scam detection, automatic data removal from public internet, and scam reimbursement up to $10,000 in the highest tier.
- Identity fraud recovery coverage ranges from $1.05 million to $3 million across the plans.
The big picture

With $16.6 billion in reported cybercrime losses, the move positions Gen Digital to capitalize on increasing consumer demand for comprehensive identity protection. The tiered structure aims to simplify decision-making while addressing the full spectrum of financial account types.
