Cyber Security firm, Passfaces Corporation, adds Federal Marketing Partner
Innovative authentication technology for government agencies
OAK HILL, Va., July 11, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Jon Shaw, CEO of Passfaces™, announced that it has signed a strategic partnering agreement with WTG New Technology Corporation. The new agreement provides government agencies - particularly those focusing on national security, financial records and healthcare - access to Passfaces patented, secure authentication technology.
Dr. Lawrence Fedewa, Chairman and CEO of WTG New Technology stated that, "Passfaces offers an innovative and proven verification technology for secure logon which easily integrates with existing security systems. By making this technology available to government agencies and contractors, we are expanding the use of a cyber security system to a user community that is extremely concerned about potential compromises of sensitive information. Passfaces' pending GSA schedule will facilitate acquisition and contribute to a new standard of secondary authentication for government agencies as specified by the Office of Management and Budget."
Shaw said, "Passfaces has had multiple approaches from both agencies and contractors, but we have discovered that expertise in government acquisition and procurement is a necessity for doing business in this area. This partnership will help us accelerate our presence in government markets by working with a well known team of professionals that has an exceptional track record in government contracting."
Shaw added that much of the interest shown by agencies has been generated by new and planned moves to cloud computing which has increased the emphasis on more secure access for storing, processing and publishing sensitive information.
