Henry Bagdasarian is one of the most risk conscious and creative people you will ever meet and his primary passion and hobby is to help manage risks in every aspect of life whether at work, at home, or on the road. Henry takes great pleasure at sharing his passion with others, especially his family. He constantly warns his family members, clients, friends, colleagues and even himself of all kinds of possible dangers ahead and how to control them. Henry established www.identity-theft-awareness.com in 2006 to share useful information about identity protection and identity theft. His goal is to help people and companies manage identity theft with proper awareness, education and best possible solutions.

Henry Bagdasarian believes that companies and government agencies, which collect consumer information while promoting their own or third party products and services such as credit cards, insurance, credit reports, mortgages, and passports, have not only a moral duty and sometimes legal obligation to protect their customer information but must also educate their consumers and employees about the risks of identity theft and best identity protection practices. Although, some companies attempt to protect consumer identities within the boundaries of their business environment and miserably fail once in a while, awareness and education is not even built into their overall information security program to reduce identity theft outside of their business environment. As such, Henry hopes to bridge the gap between companies, their consumers and service providers to collectively and effectively protect all personal information.

As part of his desire to help address the root cause of identity theft, Henry Bagdasarian continues to invent and implement integrated identity protection ideas and services, some of which are listed below:

Identity KAOS - Guiding principles for identity protection.
Information KAGE - A simple information security framework for developing information security strategies.
DIP Breach Notification - A process for dealing with information security breach incidents.
IdentityMate - An identity risk management services company.
Be Identity Safe - Corporate motto and a central hub for providing identity protection guidance.
Identity Obesity - Leading cause of identity theft.
Identity Diet - A customized and risk based identity protection plan to address identity obesity and consumer identity theft risks.
Identity Management Institute (IMI) - IMI was established to help redefine identity management in order to address all identity management risks, and support the professionals in the field to effectively collaborate and manage the identities of their employees and customers.

To conclude, companies and individuals must be educated and consider the risks of identity theft and fraud resulting from their actions or inactions when dealing with any personal information. This site hopes to leverage Henry Bagdasarian's expertise, passion, and dedication to educate everyone about the evolving risks of identity theft and propose appropriate solutions.
