By: StrikeForce Technologies By showing how it’s done, StrikeForce Technologies can make people understand why they have built MobileTrust™ StrikeForce’ “Attempts to prevent hackers from infecting mobile devices are an exercise in futility,” said George Waller, EVP of StrikeForce Technologies. “Just as with the desktop, anti-malware pro-viders can’t keep up with millions of newly written attacks that happen each week. We advocate using anti-virus on your mobile device to prevent what is known, but it needs to be paired with keystroke encryption to protect against zero day attacks. It won’t stop the malware from infect-ing your device, but it will prevent your device from sending the data on your system to the hacker.” Keyloggers capture keystrokes before they get to the security of the application such as email, VPN, or an SSL encrypted website. “Truth is if the PC and mobile device manufacturers inte-grated keystroke encryption into their devices, they would save their customers billions of dol-lars,” said Mark Kay, CEO of StrikeForce Technologies. “If HP, Dell, Lenovo, Samsung, Sony, Apple or any large manufacture embedded keystroke encryption into their systems, it would make computing and communications 90% safer for all of us.” About StrikeForce: StrikeForce Technologies is the creator and key patent holder for multi-factor out-of-band authentication as well as an anti-keylogging keystroke encryption technology (patent pending). The company’s GuardedID® anti-keylogging keystroke encryption technology pre-vents keylogger malware from stealing personal, business, financial information and passwords. Their software protects over five million individuals and businesses in over 100 countries from identity theft and data breaches.
