SMARTCARD BASED PASSWORD MANAGER FOR WINDOWS® 7 Access Smart® updates its award winning Power LogOn® to Windows 7 Ladera Ranch, CA — July 07, 2010 — Access Smart, LLC announced today that its award winning Power LogOn supports Windows 7 and Server 2008 in both 32- and 64-bits. Power LogOn makes secure password management possible using affordable smartcard technology. By providing users with the convenience of never having to remember or type another password IT departments are free from the cost and hassle of continually resetting passwords. Microsoft’s latest Windows 7 operating system is phenomenal. Businesses, healthcare providers, schools and government agencies are upgrading their computers and networks to take advantage of new operating system’s improvements. Access Smart stays current with the latest Microsoft technologies to ensure these groups have easy, low cost and secure access. Windows 7, Internet sites and secure data files require a user name and password to access data. The security threat is not the password but how we, as users, pick and manage the password. Do you know employees who use the same password everywhere, have a simple password or write their passwords on notes by their desks? Are you one of those employees? Don’t be ashamed. You are in the majority. When IT security implements policies to have complex passwords and frequent password changes that only compounds the problem because it forces the employees to implement poor password management practices. Do you know that IT cannot block or prevent access to data when a legitimate user name and password is entered, no matter who types it, and these unauthorized accesses are not detected or counted as a data breach? Access Smart’s Power LogOn uses powerful smartcard technology to secure the “front door” of the virtual world. Power LogOn will authenticate, identify and authorize the person requesting data at the front end before the person ever gets into the network by taking advantage of our “Seven Levels of Assurance”.
“Securing information through authentication, identification and authorization is a direct response to our customers’ needs,” said Dovell Bonnett, founder and CEO of Access Smart. “We provide businesses with a low cost of ownership solution that safeguards them from an expensive data breach.” Since Power LogOn runs on a secure network, network administrators maintain real-time control over a cardholder's ability to logon to the network. Administrators can "manage" logon entries for cardholders, loading changes and updates to cards, and even “kill” a card that is already in the field. So, if the card is ever lost or stolen it will no longer be accepted within the system. Power LogOn leverages both the smartcard and network security by using the card as an authentication token, and using a secure network server as the secure storage device. To add even more value, we can combine RFID physical access into the card. “Because the data itself is secured by multiple layers of assurances,” said Mr. Bonnett, “then, even if someone steals the card, they cannot access the data.” Easy to Evaluate About Access Smart, LLC: Access Smart and Power LogOn are registered trademarks exclusively licensed to Access Smart, LLC.
