ChosenSecurity Introduces TC Enterprise ID Suite Version 2007 to North American Market

Former GeoTrust Subsidiary Offers Leading PKI Solution and Smart Card Management Tools

NEEDHAM, Mass., Nov. 14 -- ChosenSecurity, Inc., a leading specialist in identity verification and security services, today announced the availability of TC Enterprise ID Suite Version 2007. With the new offering, ChosenSecurity, previously a subsidiary of GeoTrust, Inc., offers organizations of all sizes digital signatures, encryption and authentication in one suite. TC Enterprise ID combines PKI technology to create and issue digital certificates using the most advanced smart card management tools available in the industry today.

"By 2007, 80 percent of all organizations will have reached the point where they will no longer be able to protect themselves with passwords alone, but will be forced to strengthen user authentication using alternative security methods," said Ant Allan, research vice president at Gartner, in a recently published study. "Companies should start using stronger authentication methods in high-risk areas like remote access now, and look to increase use of sign-on solutions by the end of 2007."(1)

Neal Creighton, CEO of ChosenSecurity, commented: "Increases in data theft, phishing attacks and other types of online fraud have made passwords and user names inadequate methods of authentication in protecting corporate data. As a leading international supplier of IT security solutions, ChosenSecurity offers targeted security for all of a company's internal and external communications and business processes."

ChosenSecurity offers TC Enterprise ID in a single service pack that includes consulting services, software and a management portal. Through the portal, digital certificates for authentication, encryption and signatures for each user can be automatically delivered to users. Additionally, IT staff can monitor active certificates and trace data, enabling automatic user notification when certificates expire. The suite integrates with existing LDAP directories.

ChosenSecurity's SmartCard Manager is designed for companies that need to manage a large number of certificates on chip cards or USB tokens. Interoperability with leading smart card printers and makers means that the SmartCard Manager can be adapted by each customer to issue personalized cards and integrate company-specific databases and workflows, while also allowing administrators to manage software certificates on the same platform. SmartCard Manager can be run as a managed service or operated by organizations internally.

TC Enterprise ID 2007 is now available and prices depend on configuration and the number of users. For more information visit http://www.chosensecurity.com/.
