Edentify's Tom Harkins to Participate in Inaugural Meeting of ID Theft Prevention Standards Panel

Bethlehem, Pa

Edentify Inc. (OTC BB: EDFY), a leading provider of identity management and fraud detection solutions, (http://feeds.feedburner.com/EdentifyPressReleases) today announced that its Chief Operating Officer and former MasterCard International executive, Thomas J. Harkins, will participate in a panel discussion at the inaugural meeting of the Identity Theft Prevention and Identity Management Standards Panel (IDSP), a cross-sector coordinating body jointly sponsored by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Better Business Bureau (BBB), held November 16, 2006 through November 17, 2006 at the Sheraton National Hotel in Arlington, Virginia. Harkins’ discussion is scheduled for Friday, November 17, at 1:45 p.m.

The IDSP is a cross-sector coordinating body whose objective is to facilitate the timely development, circulation and use of voluntary consensus standards and guidelines that will equip and assist the private sector, government and consumers in minimizing the scope and scale of identity theft and fraud. The aim of IDSP’s inaugural meeting is to open discussions on standards-based solutions relative to the life cycle of identity theft and management concerns, and provide an opportunity for information-sharing and engagement with the broader community of stakeholders to help shape the panel’s future work program.

Harkins will partake in a panel discussion that will explore new technologies, business trends, programs and services aimed at eliminating opportunities for identity theft and fraud. 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.

“It is a tremendous honor to take part in such a forward-thinking panel,” says Harkins. “With identity theft being the fastest growing crime in America, it is crucial that we educate members of all sectors on the technologies and services aimed at eliminating identity fraud. I am thrilled to have this opportunity to not only start a dialogue on matters relating to identity theft, fraud and management, but also bring greater visibility to some of the available detection and prevention technologies, such as Edentify’s solutions, needed to assist financial, government and consumer sectors in minimizing the devastating effects of this crime.”
