Authentium's New SafeCentral Shuts Down Cybercrime

Patent-pending virtualization technology provides consumers with
friendly, yet iron-clad protection from all forms of cyber threats
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
Starting today, Internet users have a new, potent weapon to
protect themselves against cybercrime: Authentium's SafeCentral, a
convenient Web service that lets anyone surf the Internet in complete
privacy and safety, even if their computer is already infected with
spyware or viruses. SafeCentral's end-to-end technology prevents cyber
crime and identity theft by locking down PCs, launching a secure
browser, and connecting users to a trusted portal of more than 15,000
popular destinations.

"Even if cybercrooks have their hooks inside your computer and are
monitoring your activities, you can use SafeCentral to shop, bank, or
even file your taxes with complete confidence," says Doug Brunt,
President and CEO of Authentium. "In seconds, SafeCentral shuts down
all threats, and sets up a checkpoint that lets good data pass
through, while keeping prying eyes out. It's like an armored car for
your account information, passwords and other data. Your personal
information is isolated and protected."

Over 50 percent of PCs are already infected with spyware, even
though most have antivirus, antispyware, and firewall software
installed. Clearly, these traditional security products are not
enough. Indeed, the reason malware authors and Internet fraudsters
continue to thrive is because they are masters at staying one step
ahead of the security software vendors.

In contrast, SafeCentral uses Authentium's patent-pending TSX
technology to create a virtual "concrete bunker" that safeguards
consumers from the trickiest and nastiest techniques employed by
Internet thieves. These threats include viruses, spyware, Trojan
horses, keyloggers, phishers, man-in-the-middle attacks, screen
scrapers, DNS poisoning, Wi-Fi interception, and countless other
orchestrated attacks. In fact, SafeCentral is the only service that
stops Internet threats past, present, and future--without requiring
constant updates, time-consuming file scanning, or real-time
monitoring that wastes memory and slows computers down.

Moreover, with SafeCentral, consumers don't have to change the way
they work, learn confusing computer terms that appear in bewildering
pop-ups, configure complicated control panels, or waste hours scanning
for threats that have already compromised their systems. With just a
click, SafeCentral's patent-pending protection shields the user's
desktop from the dark threats of the Internet without limiting
flexibility, functionality, or usability.

SafeCentral makes security simple. Think of it as an on/off switch
for security, powered by three principal components:

-- The SafeCentral Desktop, which locks down desktops by acting
as a traffic cop, continuously monitoring Windows "system
calls." When spyware, keyloggers, screen capture agents, or
other malicious software makes a system call, the SafeCentral
Desktop disallows it. Only verifiably safe computer processes
are allowed.

-- The SafeCentral Browser, which "blacks out" snooping by man or
machine using virtualized sessions that are invisible to
keyloggers, spyware, and other malware. The SafeCentral
Browser assumes the PC is already compromised by malware, and
virtualizes the Web browser to isolate it within the
potentially compromised environment. This hides 100 percent of
data--keystrokes, screens, data, URLs, histories, account
credentials, etc.--from all manner of eavesdropping, creating
a truly private environment. Users can bank, shop, search, and
communicate with confidence.

-- The SafeCentral Portal, which provides a secure on-ramp to the
user's favorite web destinations. These sites include those
where security is paramount, such as banks, e-commerce sites,
trading houses, government sites, and so on. The SafeCentral
Portal's DNS technology only connects users to authenticated
Web sites, preventing malicious agents from redirecting users
to phishing pages, man-in-the-middle attacks, and other
criminal spoofs.

"We've closed the gap for consumers by making security simple,"
says Corey O'Donnell, VP of Marketing for Authentium. "While other
technologies try to detect identity theft, SafeCentral takes the
up-front approach to prevent it. And unlike services that protect just
banks or just consumers, SafeCentral steps into the breach to
safeguard all users and institutions, including small local banks
without an IT staff or a large budget, and consumers without technical
degrees. SafeCentral is one name, one answer, to stop identity theft
before it starts."

SafeCentral is available now at www.SafeCentral.com.
