Entrust Webcast, Featuring Leading Analyst Research Firm, Delivers Key Advice
on Addressing Growing Online Fraud Challenges

Industry veterans deliver 40 minutes of expert advice on how best to defend
against online fraud

DALLAS, June 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- As online fraud continues to rise
and financial institutions lose hundreds of millions of dollars to criminal
groups, organizations seek guidance on how best to defend against targeted
online attacks. In response, Entrust offers a special webcast, featuring
leading analyst research firm Gartner, to help answer today's toughest
questions that directly impact the continuous fight against online fraud.

"No matter the investment, it's critical for experts to help inform other
organizations on the necessity of implementing both strong authentication and
fraud detection solutions to help stop the alarming growth of online fraud and
other eCrime," said Entrust Director of Identity Products Steve Neville. "With
our experience and knowledge, we really felt it was our duty to provide much
needed guidance for security-conscious financial services organizations."

The webcast, titled "Fast & the Fraudulent: Actions Financial Institutions Can
Take to Defeat Online Fraud," features 40 minutes of expert opinion on current
industry best methods to help defend against online fraud, specific to global
banks and financial institutions. Hosted by Entrust, featuring Gartner vice
president Avivah Litan and Entrust director Steve Neville, the webcast takes
on key issues and questions, and offers strategic guidance on how to address
today's top security concerns.

According to the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG), financial institutions
and payment services companies make up 85 percent of the organizations
targeted by online criminal groups.(1) This further highlights the critical
need for online organizations to implement comprehensive fraud detection and
strong authentication solutions that are affordable, simple for end-users and
versatile enough to adapt as fraud threats evolve.

In February, Entrust was positioned as one of the "leaders" in the Gartner
Magic Quadrant for Web Fraud Detection. Available as a complementary resource
from Entrust, the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Web Fraud Detection evaluated
vendors and placed them in one of four quadrants -- leaders, visionaries,
challengers and niche players. The report states that "most large and some
midsize financial institutions continue to upgrade their first-generation Web
fraud detection systems that they put in place in 2006 and 2007, because
installed software and services fall short in evaluating criminal attacks."(2)

"Enterprises should evaluate competitors based on their core fraud detection
technology and their ability to properly service implementations after the
sale," said Gartner vice president Avivah Litan in the February 2009 Magic
Quadrant for Web Fraud Detection. "Innovation is critical in this market to
keep pace with difficult-to-predict cyberattacks that increasingly navigate
across multiple customer service channels and the Web."

In the April 2009 "Highlights from the Gartner European Identity and Access
Management Summit," Litan recommended that organizations "protect data and
accounts from unauthorized access using a layered security approach that
includes stronger user authentication, continuous fraud detection and
out-of-band transaction verification."(3)

Leading financial institutions, enterprises and government agencies have
deployed the complete security platform, including DnB Nor, Expedia, Commerce
Bank, Bank of New Zealand, Banco Santander Santiago, Goteborg University,
Ministry of Economic Development of New Zealand, SCHUFA, Arbetsformedligen,
Alaska Law Enforcement Information Sharing System, Vejle Amt, Aristex, Swedish
National Labor Market Administration, Skanska and more.

Entrust TransactionGuard is a zero-touch fraud detection solution that
captures all the data in a session and does not require integration with
back-end applications. It transparently monitors user behavior to identify
anomalies, and then calculates the risk associated with a particular
transaction -- all seamlessly and in real time. Unlike competitive offerings,
Entrust TransactionGuard can analyze all points of interaction with the user
on the Web site, allowing organizations to gain a complete picture of
potentially fraudulent behavior without ever changing sophisticated banking
applications.

Entrust IdentityGuard enables organizations to layer security -- according to
access requirements or the risk of a given transaction -- across diverse users
and applications. The platform's authentication options include strong
username and password, IP-geolocation, device, questions and answers,
out-of-band one-time passcode (delivered via voice, SMS or e-mail), grid
cards, eGrid cards and a range of one-time-password tokens. Entrust
IdentityGuard also provides multiple methods of supporting mutual
authentication, including picture and caption replay.
