A certified professional provided by Identity Force will work on the employee's behalf with creditors, insurance companies, banks, courts, law enforcement agencies and other parties to restore an employee's identity. In addition to the new services, FAA employees will receive training and awareness information later this year on how to better protect the personally identifiable information of agency staffers, contractors and customers.

“We're delighted to offer this service as an improvement over last year's protection as it now adds full identity restoration,” Administrator Randy Babbitt said. “The FAA is the first government agency, to my knowledge, to offer this service to all its employees because we feel it is the right thing to do.” The agency will also continue to offer protection to individuals affected by the breach who no longer work at the FAA.

“Identity Force is proud to be working with the FAA, and we applaud the agency’s leadership team for implementing strategic solutions, including training, as part of its ongoing efforts to eliminate the threat of data breaches,” explained Identity Force CEO Steven Bearak. Identity Force is the #1 provider of identity protection services to the federal government, and has served many agencies, including the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Transportation Security Administration, and the Coast Guard.
