StrikeForce & TradeHarbor Announce Industry's First "Three-Factor" Voice Verification Solution

EDISON, NJ--(Marketwire - Jul 17, 2012) - StrikeForce Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: SFOR), creators of out-of-band authentication and anti-keylogging keystroke encryption, today announced that a strategic partnership with TradeHarbor has resulted in the industry's first "three-factor" voice verification solution. The new multi-factor solution meets the highest level of regulatory compliance by combining all three critical factors: who you are, what you have & what you know, over a mobile device.

TradeHarbor is an industry leader in voice verification software and StrikeForce is the creator and patent holder of multi-factor out-of-band authentication, which also includes biometric authentication methods. This is the same proven technology in StrikeForce's ProtectID® authentication solution which is used by many of the industry leaders who have avoided breaches. 

"Combining voice verification and out-of-band authentication together to help prevent online fraud was a natural integration waiting to happen," said Mark L. Kay, CEO of StrikeForce. "We can now offer a higher level of security with choices at a fair price."

Three-factor voice verification is ideally suited to protect the industries that most appear in the crosshairs of hackers, including:

• Banking
• Financial Services
• Healthcare Providers
• Online Retailers
• Government Agencies
• Pharmaceuticals
• Public Sector Organizations
• Education
• Energy
• Construction Facilities

"This combined offering is a ground-breaking new approach to authentication that provides a level of accountability that has not been available before," noted Paul Heirendt, CEO of TradeHarbor. "With the proliferation of mobile devices and mobile applications, enterprises need strong multi-factor authentication and accountability to provide the security for BYOD, which allows users to access sensitive data on their own devices."

The solution, available as a web service, enables an enterprise to offer its customers a consistent authentication experience across all of its business units and on any of its platforms. Each verification interaction produces a legally-binding voice signature combined with out-of-band authentication, which includes an audit trail to mitigate repudiation by the person being authenticated. 

"It provides a consistent user experience and has proven to add high security while providing increased convenience and flexibility," added Heirendt. "Since this total three-factor voice authentication solution is provided as Software as a Service, it minimizes capital expenditures, minimizes internal development resource requirements, time to market, and boosts the ROI resulting from cost savings and customer acquisition & retention."
