Access Smart Partners with Elite Development Group

Complete, Affordable network Security Solutions to Combat Identity Theft

Ladera Ranch, CA — July 18, 2006 — Everyday we hear about another company, required by law, informing the media that their customers’ personal information was compromised, and warning these customers to be on the safeguard for identity theft. These reports are costing companies millions of dollars in direct and indirect expenditures: FTC fines, law suits, lost customers, bad press, sinking stock prices, free credit reports and eroding company image just to name a few. There is a way to comply with State and Federal privacy protection legislation while protecting a customer’s information in case of a lost computer or hacked network.

Access Smart, LLC (www.access-smart.com) is proud to announce its partnership with Elite Development Group. Access Smart offers complete smartcard solutions in either a stand alone ISO card or combined with physical access badges to secure the front end between the user and the computer. Power LogOn™ by Access Smart LLC, is designed for the small and medium offices, and the individual, to protect against online Identity theft. They do this by solving the password dilemma: assigning, remembering and managing complex computer passwords.

“Network security is only as strong as its weakest link", states Mr. Dovell Bonnett, Founder and CEO of Access Smart. “By combining a strong password management network front end with a very secure and protected network back end, companies of all sizes can have the same IT security used by large corporations and governments. Having Elite as our partner, companies now have the security to guard their client’s personal information from identity theft."
