Take care your credit card does not go out of your sight - especially at petrol stations and restaurants (much easier now anyway in the UK at least).

There are a lot of things that you can do to minimize your chances and the resulting damage. First is to obtain you credit report every year. New Federal legislation that is going into effect shortly makes it mandatory that the credit agencies provide you one for free.
Another good idea is to opt out of all the credit card offers. Keep a low level credit card and pay it off each month, especially for internet uses.

The fall out of IT growth was the rise in identity theft. Almost all organizations face this problem in one way or the other. Identity management systems allow or forbid access to individuals to high secure places like buildings, companies, etc and services like bank accounts, systems, etc. Earlier the right of entry was given to those who had a magnetic card or a password but now it is no longer effective. Identity management solutions include more successful access technologies like fingerprint readers, retina scanners, palm readers, etc.
