Bethlehem, Pa.
Today Edentify, Inc. (OTC BB: EDFY), a leading provider of identity management solutions, announced that its Chief Operating Officer and former MasterCard International executive, Thomas J. Harkins, will engage in a panel discussion at the 2007 Bank Security Conference and Marketplace held by America’s Community Bankers (“ACB”) from April 22, 2007 to April 25, 2007, at the Hilton in the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. Harkins’ presentation is scheduled for Monday, April 23, at 3:00 p.m.
Conducted in conjunction with ACB’s Bank Operations & Technology Conference and ACB’s Bank Sales and Marketing Conference, the event is designed to address hot topics for the bank security officer, and cover critical issues relating to physical and IT security. Topics range from “Protecting Your Bank During a Robbery or Hostage Crisis” to “Thwarting Online Frauds and Schemes.” This year, ACB will offer a new format —The Great Exchange—which encourages the exchange of ideas, the exchange of experiences and the exchange of best practices with other bank professionals during peer groups, topical sessions, networking breaks and receptions, and in the Marketplace, which features the latest products and services for financial institutions. Edentify will exhibit its identity manipulation detection technology at Booth #104.
Harkins, who is a veteran ACB conference speaker, will partake in a panel discussion called the Advanced Technology Corner, which will offer a comprehensive look at latest advancements in security technology, as well as convergence issues affecting the industry, tactics for protecting customers against the devastating effects of identity fraud, and the future of financial institution security. Prior to joining Edentify, Harkins spent almost two decades helping MasterCard’s high-profile corporate customers find and fight fraud, data theft, and other high security risks, and now leads Edentify’s business and product development efforts.
“Unfortunately, identity fraud is a growing reality of today’s society, and unless we empower the financial services industry with the necessary tools and education to fight fraud, we’re never going to win this up-hill battle,” says Harkins. “Participating in this panel discussion is a tremendous opportunity for me to not only address the identity fraud-related issues plaguing the financial industry, but also bring greater visibility to some of the available technologies, such as Edentify’s solutions, that can help the financial industry protect consumers and minimize the damage this crime can create.”

Today Edentify, Inc. (OTC BB: EDFY), a leading provider of identity management solutions, announced that its Chief Operating Officer and former MasterCard International executive, Thomas J. Harkins, will present at SecurTech's 16th Annual Conference and Exhibition, to be held May 2, 2006, through May 4, 2006, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, California. Harkin's presentation is scheduled for Wednesday, May 3, at 4:00 pm.
SecurTech is part of the CardTech/SecurTech (CTST) Conference from SourceMedia, North America's largest advanced card and biometrics conference, covering secure transaction technology, contactless cards and IT/physical access security convergence. The highly interactive three-day conference program will feature more than 50 expert speakers who will address every critical aspect of physical and IT access security. This year's theme, "Innovations in Access Convergence," will focus on what's new in both physical and logical access, including biometrics, and the implications of these innovations for implementing a converged security system.
Harkins, joined by two other leaders in the industry, will engage the audience during one of two Biometrics Workshops with a comprehensive look at how biometrics is used for authentication and security in the financial services industry. The session is part of the "Biometrics for Access Security" workshop, which will take a close look at the current state of public acceptance of biometric technologies and how these technologies are helping organizations increase security today. Harkins spent over two decades helping MasterCard's high-profile corporate customers find and fight fraud, data theft, and other high security risks, and now leads Edentify's business and product development efforts.
"Consumers are looking for alternative ways, outside of current initiatives, to feel secure in their banking," says Harkins. "Financial institutions must increase their awareness of the varying roles technology can play in their lasting battle against identity theft and fraud. The use of biometrics is just one way financial institutions can provide a non-intrusive, easy to implement solution that will increase the level of their customers' security. I hope that executives and managers in the financial services sector attending this conference will walk away better prepared to assist their companies and customers in using biometrics to help deter identity fraud."
Edentify develops and deploys technology solutions utilized in preventing identity theft and fraud. The company's solutions are built around a technology platform that includes the only patent issued for identity manipulation detection and identity verification systems. Edentify will soon be offering an equally groundbreaking biometric solution from InMotion Biometrics (IMB), a wholly owned subsidiary of Edentify, Inc. The solution, an integral part of the authentication process in the security continuum, combines a robust inner lip analysis technology with existing voice and facial recognition technologies to create a multi-modal, spoof-proof biometric solution.
