EMT, In Fight Against Online Identity Theft, Launches SecureView, a
Unique, Innovative Two-Factor Authentication Solution
Offers Secure, Trusted Communication Between Companies and Their
Online Customers, Raises the Bar In the Fight Against Phishing and Other
Forms of Identity Theft
NEW YORK (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) February 16, 2007 --
EMT LLC (http://www.em-technology.net)
has announced the launch of SecureView, an innovative
two factor authentication solution that prevents identity theft by
creating a secure channel of communication between a company's web
applications and its clients. SecureView is virtually impregnable
against all forms of identity theft attacks, including phishing, cross
site scripting, man in the middle attacks, and all instances of malware.
“SecureView gives organizations offering
online access a trusted mobile security solution which is inexpensive to
deploy, extremely simple for their clients to use, and incredibly
resistant to all forms of identity theft attacks, such as phishing and
cross site scripting,” said Ramsey Jallad, CEO
of EMT.
SecureView's innovative approach focuses on protecting the user's side
of the connection to an organization's site. More specifically, it
mitigates the risk of attack by focusing on the most vulnerable point of
that connection, and a favorite attack vector for identity theft
criminals: the untrusted browser.
Although many two factor authentication solutions claim to focus on
securing the user side, they all still require the user to launch
insecure and potentially compromised browsers that are installed on
their terminals and subsequently travel over the open Internet before
logging onto a secure portal. “Existing
security solutions such as random number generating devices from RSA [NYSE:EMC]
and challenge and response mechanisms only protect the user to a limited
degree,” says John Terrill, CTO of EMT. “They
don't effectively protect the user against malware and spyware that may
be dormant on their computer, and the user could still easily fall
victim to identity theft attacks such as phishing, cross-site scripting,
and man in the middle attacks on the open web without ever knowing it.
This is where SecureView excels: it offers total connection security,”
says Terrill. [See

In the Middle Attacks].
SecureView is used by inserting a company-branded business card-sized
disc or USB token into any computer, whether that computer is trusted or
not. This action automatically launches a dedicated and encrypted viewer
that takes the user directly to the company's SecureView-ready server,
disallowing the user's ability to deviate from the path to that server.
On the server side, the user is authenticated by matching the token plus
a username/password combination with the corresponding information on
the server-side.
It is the combination of the genuine two factor authentication process
and the automatically launched data viewer that creates an exceptionally
secure connection. This innovative process is totally unique to
SecureView.
“SecureView is a highly dynamic and secure
two factor authentication solution,”
says Patrick Stach of security services provider Stach
& Liu LLC (http://www.stachliu.com)
. “Although there are many different identity
management solutions available to the financial industry, SecureView is
by far the most effective due to its simplicity, its cost effectiveness,
and its reliance on proven cryptographic standards.”
