SKFT News StrikeForce Technologies and the Fraud Resource Groups' Identity Theft Prevention Software - GuardedID(R) Offered to State of Kansas Employees

EDISON, N.J. & BETTENDORF, Iowa--(BUSINESS WIRE)--StrikeForce Technologies, (OTCBB: SKFT) and the Fraud Resource Group announced today that the State of Kansas’ Employee Discount Program, (STAR) State Thanks And Recognition project, is featuring GuardedID^®, the software that safeguards consumers online financial transactions from the #1 growing menace of online cyber thieves also known as keyloggers.

The Division of Personnel, along with other state agencies, developed STAR to provide state employees with the opportunity to take advantage of their employment status by receiving discounts on goods and services. The STAR project showcases discounts and local deals that are available to all state employees.

StrikeForce Technologies strategic partner, TrustedCustomer.com a division of the Fraud Resource Group was instrumental in working with the State of Kansas to get GuardedID^® added to the STAR program.

GuardedID takes a proactive approach to stopping keyloggers by encrypting every keystroke the instant keys are typed and rerouting those encrypted keystrokes directly to the Web browser through GuardedID’s own secure pathway. GuardedID^® bypasses the typical places keyloggers normally reside, thereby helping to eliminate a vulnerability that could compromise personal information and cause great financial loss.

“The risk of losing sensitive information to online identity thieves is growing exponentially,” said Jon McDowall of The Fraud Resource Group. “Offering GuardedID anti-keylogging protection to the State of Kansas employees is an excellent way to help them maintain their financial well-being.”

“We are seeing a rapidly growing trend of concerned organizations – from state governments, to large health care organizations to global businesses, providing GuardedID’s protection as an employee benefit option to safeguard them from online cyber thieves who want to prey on people to tap into their 401ks, their personal identity or credit card numbers,” said George Waller, EVP of StrikeForce Technologies.

A report from Gartner issued last week points out that almost nine million US adults have stopped using online banking, while another estimated 23.7 million won't even start because of fears over online security breaches.
