Hackers Are Not the Only Ones Robbing You, According to StrikeForce Technologies

StrikeForce Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: SFOR), creators of two
factor out-of-band authentication and anti-keylogging keystroke
encryption, is calling for the business and technology world to
wake up.
Week after week of reported security breaches, in our opinion,
have not gotten businesses to reevaluate the methods they use to
prevent these now routine occurrences. The latest example was
illustrated by a team of scientists that produced a research report
explaining how they extracted a key from an RSA token in just
thirteen minutes, as published by the New York Times on June 26,
2012.
Just a few days ago another troubling report was published by
the University of Alabama-Birmingham showing that the leading
anti-virus vendors were only able to prevent 25% of the password
stealing and remote control Trojan malware in their sample. How on
earth has this become acceptable? The malware that has become
particularly troublesome are the keyloggers. Keyloggers that track
each keystroke made on your keyboard have become, we believe, the
favorite tool used by hackers. According to the recent 2012 Verizon
Data Breach Report, keyloggers were identified as the number one
threat. Anti-Virus vendors all claim to prevent keyloggers. What
they don't tell you is that they only prevent "known" and
catalogued keyloggers, not the hundreds of thousands that have yet
to be detected or thousands that are created every day.
"We believe that the big security vendors have been pushing the
same technology for over 25 years," said George Waller, EVP of
StrikeForce. "Yet every day and through our management's research,
we found these technologies to be proven to be ineffective and
easily breached. If you're in charge of security at your company
and you're using anti-virus and tokens and you think you're safe,
this should be your wake-up call."
"This week's reports should trigger every business owner and IT
security executive to immediately re-evaluate their authentication
and anti-keylogging strategy," says Waller.
StrikeForce's ProtectID® out-of-band authentication product
enables organizations to leverage devices that people already own
like mobile phones, making the total cost of ownership far less
expensive and more secure than implementing tokens. StrikeForce's
GuardedID® Anti-Keylogging Keystroke Encryption solution prevents
undetected keyloggers from stealing user credentials and corporate
data by encrypting each and every keystroke in real-time.
"Coverage of breaches is commonplace, but our management has
found the discussion of solutions is non-existent from the big
token and anti-virus vendors," added Waller. "We believe security
vendors are asking you to buy an old technology that probably gets
breached on a daily basis. We know what their technologies can do.
If you get breached, and, based on the reports cited, we agree you
most likely will, it's your own responsibility if you do not
enhance your security. Keystroke encryption and out-of-band
authentication are far more effective tools. Your wake-up call
should include enhancing your protection with StrikeForce's
ProtectID and StrikeForce's GuardedID Anti-Keylogging Keystroke
Encryption solution."
