Software Spectrum to Resell End-to-End Authentication and Audit Platform to Help Customers Protect Data and Network Infrastructure

February 16, 2004, Dunn Loring, VA – Priva Technologies, developer of the end-to-end authentication and audit infrastructure known as the Cleared Security Platform™, today announced that it is focused on building out its channel program to rapidly reach customers demanding best-in-class authentication. In support of this channel strategy, Priva will work with Software Spectrum, a global provider of business software services and a subsidiary of Level 3 Communications, Inc. to offer its customers, which include nearly 60 percent of the global 2,000, a Cleared Security Platform starter kit that includes hardware and software for 25 users. This provides organizations with a low-risk introduction to the most comprehensive and easy-to-use authentication solution available.

Priva’s Cleared Security Platform™ is an auditable, customizable authentication infrastructure. Providing strong authentication, the Cleared Security Platform surpasses traditional “what you have, what you know, and what you are” authentication approaches. The Cleared Security Platform redefines trust lines through a robust process that validates the entire platform from the secure ClearedKey™ USB biometric token to the ClearedHost™ authentication server and enables authentication with multiple fingerprint biometrics and passwords. This patent-pending technology enhances single sign on, data encryption and supports multiple authentication policies within an organization.

"We understand that organizations are turning to the channel (resellers and systems integrators) in order to purchase all of their security technology and services from a single source," Jeff Minushkin, CEO of Priva Technologies. "We are looking to team with partners that have a solid history and understanding of security and can provide us with visibility in front of the global 2,000 community as well as the public sector. Our end-to-end authentication infrastructure ties together various point solutions in one easy-to-manage platform, which is readily customizable to adhere to specific corporate security policies. We believe that Software Spectrum customers can greatly benefit from the increased security that our advanced authentication offers."
