Frontier Secure Identity Theft Protection 2023 Review

ASR Rating

Expert Review

Frontier Secure is a branch of Frontier Communications, a company that has offered telecommunications to millions of customers for decades. Frontier Secure identity protection offers security products to protect customers and their computers from digital attacks. With an a la carte menu of services along with bundle options, Frontier Secure and F-Secure protects customers and their computers for a low price that they can mix-and-match.

Frontier Secure’s expanding portfolio offers cloud-based content, identity, computer and device protection, computer security and expert tech support 24/7 through a variety of plan options.

What We Like

Unlike many identity theft providers, Frontier Secure offers antivirus software operated by F-Secure that includes firewall protection, phishing and fraud protection, parental controls, detection and elimination of viruses, spyware, protection against dangerous downloads and site authentication. F-Secure is considered one of the best antivirus software programs by many of the top-rated reviewers and has won many awards.

We also like the a la carte menu of services Frontier Secure offers. So you aren’t required to pay for something you don’t want or need.

Additionally, we like that Frontier Communications is a leader in telecommunications with $6 billion in annual sales and that they employ 14,000 employees that are exclusively based in the U.S. We also like that 11 percent of the workforce is made up of veterans and military spouses.

What We Don’t Like

In the event a customer falls victim to identity theft, there is no protection insurance for reimbursement of fees associated with the theft or cleanup.

We aren’t thrilled that there is only one identity protection plan, however it does offer some of the necessary ingredients to a plan and with other products available to add, customers can piece together a nice plan that caters to their needs.

The Bottom Line

With competitive pricing, a variety of protection options and bundles and antivirus software, Frontier Secure could be a solid choice for identity protection and computer protection services, even though it’s relatively new to the industry. With U.S.-based tech support and a bevy of digital living solutions, Frontier Secure is a high-performance tech support. But with missing identity insurance and some unfavorable reviews (Frontier Communications), we recommend keeping abreast of their reputation and their BBB rating.
