BioPassword Experiences Record Growth to Meet Demand for Secure Remote Access

SEATTLE, WA, Jan 22 (MARKET WIRE) --
BioPassword, Inc., the leading innovator in strong authentication software,
today announced significant momentum and record growth in 2007. Fueled by
market-demand for an easy-to-use authentication solution in remote access
and web applications, BioPassword saw 500 percent growth in its customer base in
2007,
with a 100 percent increase in its Average Sale Price (ASP). The company also
markedthe year having sold over one million licenses for its industry validated
multi-factor authentication software.

In today's always-on world, IT professionals are challenged with providing
secure
access anytime, anywhere, and must also support diverse computing and networking
architectures for an ever-changing workforce. In fact, the global mobile
workforce is expected to grow by more than 20 percent, with 878 million people
working remotely by 2009, according to a study by IDC. At the same time,
identity thieves are becoming more sophisticated and harder to combat, as 15
million people were victims of identity theft last year (1).

Given the evolution of attacks and the disappearing network perimeter,
organizations
must employ a more comprehensive, inclusive strategy for identifying
legitimate users and protecting sensitive data. Consumers who use
password-protected sites/services agree, as a recent Harris Interactive poll(2)
found
that 67 percent of adults prefer to use websites that employ multiple methods of
identity verification and authentication by asking for more than just a
password. BioPassword's innovative platform addresses this need for expanded
authentication by combining something you know (a password) with something
you are (a biometric) or something you have (for example, a mobile device) --
for secure access.

In conjunction with its impressive growth, BioPassword expanded its customer
base in several vertical markets, including financial services, education,
legal,
manufacturing, health care, and state and local government. Morgan Stanley is
enhancing its ClientServ application to feature BioPassword in order to
validate customers' identities and provide another layer of authentication. In
addition to customer progress, in 2007 BioPassword forged new partnerships
with Juniper Networks, Citrix, and Fiserv CBS Worldwide.

"BioPassword's exponential growth is a direct result of the industry's
needfor an accurate, easy-to-use and deploy solution that provides secure access
for
an ever-growing population of mobile users," said BioPassword CEO Mark Upson.
"Our
momentum will help us deliver on our aggressive strategy for broadening the
capabilities of our platform and extending our technology leadership in the
remote access and web application environments."
