Avast, a digital security company, has introduced its Avast One Platinum cyber safety platform. It offers tools such as credit monitoring, lost wallet protection, dark web monitoring and more, according to a press release.

With this platform, users can cancel and replace credit, debit and ATM cards if they are stolen. It also monitors social media accounts for profane, violent or scam-related posts that may show that the account was hacked.

Other features include:

• Identity theft reimbursement up to $2 million.
• Tech support.
• Credit freeze.
• Alerts for dark web.

"The new Avast One Platinum tier is a step-change improvement to the award-winning Avast One integrated solution," Leena Elias, chief product officer at Gen, a privacy brand under Avast, said in the release.

With greater protection from new and evolving threats and 24/7 premium technical support for IT issues around the home, every member of the family can have the confidence to embrace the digital world to the fullest."
