What is Credit bureaus monitored?

In short

Credit bureaus monitored tells you how many of the main credit report providers a service watches for new activity on your file.

Identity monitoring works by watching your credit files and alerting you when new activity shows up. The more bureaus a service monitors, the more likely fraudulent activity is caught. Aura, Aura Data Broker Removal and Aura Parental Controls each monitor 3, and Allstate Identity Protection matches that with 3. Bitdefender monitors 1, so coverage is narrower and alerts may miss activity filed at another bureau.
