Protect yourself with AFT’s identity-theft benefit

The Marriott hotel chain had a data breach of 500 million records related to customers who stayed at Starwood hotels and resorts going back as far as 2014. It’s a powerful reminder that we live in a world where securing your data has never been more important.
