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. 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.
Operating System: WindowsR 2000, XP Professional/Home Edition or higher.
