CyEx Introduces Medical Shield Ultra with HealthLock to Protect Consumers from Medical Identity Theft and Fraud

BOSTON, March 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- CyEx, a leading provider of cyber and data breach response solutions, today announced a partnership with HealthLock, a leading medical fraud and overbilling protection solution, to launch a new product: Medical Shield Ultra with HealthLock. Medical Shield Ultra with HealthLock is designed specifically to safeguard consumers from the growing threats of medical identity theft, medical fraud and the chronic issue of incorrect billing by healthcare insurers.

Medical institutions store vast amounts of sensitive personal information, leading them to be  targeted by cyber criminals on a massive scale. In 2024, there were more than 700 medical and healthcare related data breach class action lawsuits filed, impacting more than 250 million people, according to HIPAA Journal. Medical Shield Ultra with HealthLock offers real-time monitoring, proactive alerts, and remediation services to help individuals protect their medical and financial well-being.

"Our primary objective is to help consumers keep their information safe and private. But, as medical institutions adopt digital records, instances of  medical identity theft and healthcare fraud are on the rise," said Jerry Thompson, President & Founder at CyEx. "We partnered with HealthLock to fill a critical gap in the market, creating a  solution that protects a consumer's personal medical records, audits medical charges from healthcare providers and health insurers as well as a broad suite of other services.  Medical Shield Ultra with HealthLock also provides up to $1M insurance policy to protect against Identity theft and financial or medical fraud."

"HealthLock was created to be an advocate for patients and to help consumers navigate the complex healthcare billing system, fight denied medical claims, while protecting their privacy.  Partnering with CyEx on Medical Shield Ultra with HealthLock allows us to deliver an even stronger protection offering," said HealthLock Founder & CEO Scott Speranza. "Together, we're equipping consumers who have had their information exposed in healthcare or medical related data breaches with the tools they need to safeguard their privacy and financial security."
