BuySecure Initiative

Overview
The BuySecure Initiative, launched in October 2014, provides consumers with more tools to secure their financial future by assisting victims of identity theft, improves the government's payment security as a customer and a provider, and accelerates the transition to stronger security technologies and the development of next-generation payment security tools.

Top priorities of the BuySecure Initiative are:

Enhanced information sharing, by enhancing the ability of federal agencies and industry to regularly exchange information about consumers’ compromised accounts.
 * Securing payments across the economy, including by advancing federal efforts to transition to more secure payment systems, building public-private awareness about more secure authentication, and calling on industry to enhance the security of their own systems and offer more secure options for their customers.
 * Helping Americans secure their good name, by improving resources to identify and remediate identity theft. This includes supporting credit score transparency and improving identity theft resources available to American consumers.
