Strikeforce GuardedID® Hits the Mark
Some time ago I had the pleasure of being interviewed for the launch of a media campaign for one of our vendors, Strikeforce.
Here is the video - worth watching in its entirety - but I appear at 11:56 till 12:40.
Short and sweet, GuardedID® is a brilliantly simple solution, it stops key logging dead in its tracks. Most importantly, because it stops the behavior cold, by making it impossible, and therefore it also is not dependent on signatures, like a/v products, or intrusion detection.
Given the fact that key logging is involved in nearly all major security breaches, this product is one nobody wants to be without. It is no fun to find your bank account emptied, and the bank telling you it's your problem for it was legally accessed....
All good security policies should demand that people only access sensitive information with GuardedID® installed and operating. Don't fill in any online information without it, but also don't work on sensitive information on your computer without it.
An Apple version is in development, but for now this solution is limited to the Windows world. It is however one of the most simple and positive steps you could ever take to prevent identity theft. As we like to say, security is not somebody else's responsibility....
It is particularly gratifying to have watched this company through many years of development, when they were ahead of the market, just to see how this year it is all coming together for them, and at the same time the market is ready for their products, their patent filing on their out of band phone authentication, ProtectID® came through as well, just when the aging token-based authentication came under serious challenge - and it was obsolete for some time already. And with the explosion of major data breaches, which almost all started with a keylogging incident, the timing for GuardedID® could not be better.
