Activating your Upfort Shield account

After binding or renewing cyber insurance with one of our carrier partners, you may have received an email about setting up your Upfort Shield account or been told by your broker to do so. 

You will see it is a quick process that should only take a few minutes.

To get started, navigate to the activation page. On this page, you will put in your activation code. After reviewing and agreeing to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, you can select "Activate Shield" to create your account.

You will be prompted to enter your information or to confirm the information pre-filled is correct:

A confirmation email will be sent to the address you just input.

After clicking on the link you receive in your email, you will then be prompted to set a strong password:

You will then be shown a page that confirms your account is activated. Click on the Next button to continue.

You will then have the option to add users to receive vulnerability alert emails. These emails will be sent in the case that we detect an elevated vulnerability on your domain. Adding any users here will also add them to your account as internal administrators.

You will then go through multiple pages to choose the different protections we offer for your team. If you'd like to have a specific protection, simply ensure the toggle is on!

Finally, you will be prompted to add any users you would like to your account. You can either add them manually or via import. Once you've added the users you would like to to the account, click on "Create Accounts".

Your account is now all set up and your team can now start getting protected with Upfort Shield.

What's next? You can explore our browser extension and install it or get phishing simulations set up for your team.

Don't forget to add your employees so they can benefit from these protections too!
