StrikeForce Technologies Expands U.S. Sales Penetration Through Channel Relationship With U.S. Northeast-Based STRATEGIC Micro Systems

EDISON, NJ--(Marketwire - Feb 7, 2012) - StrikeForce Technologies (OTCBB: SFOR), an innovator in the prevention of online Identity Theft and Data Breaches for enterprise, financial institutions, government and consumers, has added STRATEGIC Micro Systems as another value added reseller as the Company continues to expand its U.S. Northeast presence.

STRATEGIC Micro Systems (STRATEGIC) is a U.S. Northeast-based IT managed services and Security Company that services hundreds of businesses since 1999, both large and small. STRATEGIC provides their customers with Information Technology solutions that deliver exceptional performance, outstanding reliability and security, and unparalleled value. STRATEGIC's areas of expertise include Network Support Services, Managed IT Services, Network Security Specialists, Web Development Technologies, Microsoft Exchange Hosting Services, iPhone Software Development and much more.

StrikeForce's ProtectID® "Out-of-Band" authentication and transaction verification technology and GuardedID® anti-keylogging, keystroke encryption software is growing in market share as the financial and healthcare regulations take hold; the RSA SecurID token encryption key was hacked into and more enterprise, government, technology and consumer based and other corporations are looking for "Out-of-Band" Authentication with multiple choices and the ability to install inside for greater security at better pricing.

"StrikeForce is excited that STRATEGIC has agreed to partner with us, since STRATEGIC is such a strong, well established U.S. Northeast Information Technology solutions provider that has been around since 1999," said Mark Kay CEO of StrikeForce Technologies. "Of all the approaches to authentication and transaction verification, leading experts and analysts like Gartner agreed that 'Out-of-Band' is the strongest method and a necessary layer of protection. They also have stated that the best way to prevent keyloggers from stealing your data is through keystroke encryption, such as our GuardedID® software product. StrikeForce Technologies is the innovator of both and we are looking forward to bringing our technology to STRATEGIC's large & small client base as a result of our partnership, which is the market the hackers are reported to be targeting," said Kay.

Ted Passalacqua, Owner of STRATEGIC, said, "StrikeForce's innovative products are the key tools for keeping businesses and their customers secure from the vast amounts of existing online threats, which is a perfect complement to our services. Due to their patent pending keylogging protection and patented 'Out-of-Band' authentication services, continuously expanding globally, we are excited at the opportunity to build on this by bringing these identity protection services to our U.S. client base and to further enhance our existing managed, support and security services portfolio. 'Out-of-Band' authentication and keylogging encryption are recognizably the strongest and most effective methods of keeping sensitive data protected online. We believe that for many businesses these services are now essential."
