Ladera Ranch, CA - May 30, 2007 - Access Smart LLC, the leading developer of data and security management solutions through the use of smartcard technology, today announced Power LogOn Password Administrator for use in businesses. Power LogOn Password Administrator allows companies to issue and control the most secure type of complex passwords without adding any additional  Inconvenience to  employees.

A company can establish that users assign, change and save up to 100 secure passwords -- stored on one smartcard -- for every network, program and file.This frees employees from easy-to-remember, simplistic passwords, passwords written on notes by the computer or using the same password for multiple applications, which greatly reduces the chances of exposing sensitive company information to outside parties or unauthorized individuals within the workplace.

"Businesses today not only have to worry about their own confidential information falling into the wrong hands, but new laws are requiring them to take more action to protect the personal information of their customers and employees," said Dovell Bonnet, founder and CEO of Access Smart. "By combining the highest level of data access security with a portable smartcard that is convenient for employees to use, Power LogOn Password Administrator enables these companies to affordably comply with both the federal and state privacy laws without adding further burdens onto busy executives  and   office   staff."

 
80 percent of all network security problems are caused by bad passwords,according to the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT). Security consultants agree that businesses should have employees change their passwords often and assign passwords that are difficult for unauthorized users to discover. Power LogOn Password Administrator allows companies to assign complex passwords such as "emFO%39iL5Nc305,9Z/4>6d" which are considered to be the most secure. It can also automatically launch the application so that users do not need to remember, type or even know all of their passwords, making password management simple and easy to implement. In addition, an administrator or department head can issue, replace or revoke employee cards at their discretion to enable further control over access to confidential information.

Unlike a flash memory card, hard disk drive or an external disk drive, the computer does not see the Power LogOn smartcard as a storage device, so hackers will not even know the card is present and are unable to break in.The data on the smartcard is encrypted and requires the Power LogOn software to retrieve and decrypt the data. Processing and calculations are done on the smartcard - independent of the computer - so viruses, worms and Trojan Horses are not able to attack and  steal passwords.

Different from single sign-on, one-time passwords and PKI certificates,Power LogOn Password Administrator is inexpensive, instantly executable and requires no annual fees or intensive training to operate. Its smartcard technology can be customized to fit specific office and network requirements and can easily migrate to other security technologies including HID Prox,iCLASS, Mifare, Legic and magnetic stripe. It can be ordered with custom graphics as well.

 
"Power LogOn can also be added to a company's access control employee badge for added security and convenience," said Bonnett. "So, the same card that gets the employee into the office can also be the same badge that securely logs them on to all of their files. When an employee leaves the company,Human Resources only needs to collect one card to prevent the former employee both physical and network access. With no back-end modifications,little maintenance and ease-of-use to employees, Power LogOn is the most convenient  logical access solution available."
