NEW YORK, May 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Epiq, a global technology-enabled leader to the legal industry and corporations, today announced a partnership with CyEx, a leading cyber incident response provider.

The partnership enables Epiq to offer specialty identity and credit monitoring solutions to protect contacts’ information with the most comprehensive credit and identity monitoring solutions available. This is the only full-service breach response solution to include advanced monitoring solutions tailored to protect against financial, medical, and minor fraud.

“Epiq’s resources and track record in cyber incident response are unmatched globally,” said Brandon Hollinder, Epiq’s Vice President of eDiscovery and Cyber Solutions. Epiq has successfully helped thousands of the largest global companies through complex data breach and incident response processes for more than a decade. Its cyber incident solutions include data mining, document review, notification list creation, precision mailings, dedicated contact centers, identity, and credit monitoring, as well as services to proactively prepare for cyber incidents and mitigate risk.

“Large scale outreach to extensive groups in short windows of time is an Epiq core competence perfected in years of class action, mass tort, bankruptcy settlement administration, and cyber incident response,” Hollinder said. “By minimizing breach damage and protecting affected contacts from fraud, we can help companies maintain brand trust and reduce the risk of class action litigation and higher insurance premiums and fines that follow. With CyEx’s monitoring solutions – which include credit, identity, financial, minor, medical, and privacy monitoring – we can go beyond traditional identity and credit monitoring to include advanced monitoring relevant to the information breached.”

Breach and incident response plans can now be enhanced with monitoring solutions relevant to the type of cyber incident or fraud. Epiq partnered with CyEx to provide data monitoring services spanning health care, credit, finance, and minors to monitor, alert, recover, and insure.
