RYE BROOK, NY--(Marketwire - Mar 1, 2013) - ImageWare Systems (
HP Enterprise Services
Navy Rear Adm. (Ret.) Elizabeth A. Hight, Vice President, Cybersecurity Solutions Group, U.S. Public Sector, HP Enterprise Services, told us, "Defending everything is, for all practical purposes, impossible in today's globally interconnected and networked world. First, the software we use is complex, was usually developed by a third party to be run on a wide range of operating systems and the traditional 'IT stack' is comprised of heterogeneous components all operating in a mixture of security configurations/postures. Second, our 'wireless' world is dominated by thinking developed during the 'hard-wired' era -- practices, processes, and assumptions that were honed over the years for physically networked connections. In addition, the number of hardware and software vendors currently developing products has exploded in the last decade as have the technological advancements in networking, storage, computing, and data manipulation. The integration of components developed by the same vendor is hard enough....just imagine the effort to bring all of these pieces and parts together and the resultant security implications of that effort. Finally, the way users interact with data to accomplish their mission or business outcomes anywhere, anytime, over a variety of networks and devices all lend itself to a cybersecurity challenge that is growing in magnitude."

ImageWare Systems
ImageWare Systems recently announced key milestones and events:
- "Introduced IWS CloudID™ (CloudID), a modular, service-orientated, architecture-based software platform that allows for the rapid development and deployment of highly secure, yet flexible identity solutions.
- IWS's patented Biometric Engine® (BE) 2.0 became the first biometric management solution certified on Fujitsu's NuVola Private Cloud Platform. In conjunction with a three year software license agreement, IWS will be working with Fujitsu at the Microsoft Partner Solutions Center to create paying, proof of concept pilot projects."
In ImageWare's most recent Press Release it said, "...the company has achieved multiple milestones in product and corporate development.
In September, ImageWare introduced CloudID, its next-generation, cloud-ready suite of identity solutions. The heart of this product suite is the re-envisioned and re-engineered BE 2.0, which accelerates the development and deployment of enterprise-class biometric identity solutions for hundreds of millions of data sets. It also provides a level of modularity, interoperability and massive scalability, from mobile devices to large-scale databases, that was previously unavailable in the biometrics and credentialing marketplace.
Also, during the third quarter, ImageWare's patented, multimodal BE 2.0 became the first agnostic multi-biometric management solution certified on Fujitsu's NuVola Private Cloud Platform for the enterprise. BE 2.0 enhances critical security functions, allowing rapid deployment of biometric solutions across the NuVola Private Cloud Platform. Fujitsu plans to launch this platform worldwide in the fourth quarter of 2012.
In conjunction with this certification, Fujitsu and ImageWare have entered into a three year software license agreement to incorporate the BE 2.0 on the NuVola Private Cloud Platform, whereby ImageWare will be paid on a revenue sharing basis. The company will also be working with Fujitsu at the Microsoft Partner Solutions Center to demonstrate several paying, proof of concept pilot projects that will showcase Fujitsu's cloud solution running IWS's CloudID products and services. The intent is to operate CloudID on Fujitsu's public cloud as a software as a service (SaaS) offering. ImageWare expects this agreement will increase its revenues while providing greater stability and forward-looking visibility."
"At the end of last year, we set a goal to establish a leadership position in biometric-based identity management for the cloud," said Jim Miller, chairman and CEO of ImageWare. "The release of our BE 2.0 earlier this year, followed by the CloudID product suite, has clearly paved the way toward achieving this goal. Our proven experience in the government sector is translating perfectly into the commercial market, and we are gaining traction with customer adoption as demonstrated by our Fujitsu license agreement.
"Working with a global partner and leading IT innovator like Fujitsu and their NuVola Private Cloud allows ImageWare to quickly enter the private cloud arena," continued Miller. "The worldwide deployment of this platform represents a significant growth opportunity for ImageWare and also demonstrates our multi-biometric security expertise."

CyberLock Success Story With Lincoln County Jail
Since the Lincoln County Jail opened in 1992, there have been numerous challenges they have had to overcome. With 40% less staff and 60% more inmates, Lincoln County Jail continually searches for new technologies to make their operations more efficient.
Some of the technologies they have in place include advanced TV monitoring with touch screens used for opening and closing doorways, and the CyberLock system.
By law, supervisors are required to perform hourly inmate wellness checks. Prior to the installation of the CyberLock CyberPoint solution, staff would have to write down the time and location of each checkpoint in a ledger, which proved to be inefficient and often unreliable. In order to improve this process, they installed a CyberPoint at each cell door. Now when the staff performs their hourly wellness checks, there is an electronic audit trail confirming that the checks have been performed.
Lincoln County has realized additional benefits since the installation of the CyberLock system. With the reduction of staff, employees had to carry an increasing number of keys to perform their job, which violated security practices. With CyberLock, employees carry only one key, which is reauthorized several times during their shift to perform only the duties they are required to do.
