Green Armor Solutions Defends Against Exploitation of DNS Vulnerabilities

Hackensack, NJ, August 05, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Green Armor Solutions announced today that its Identity Cues authentication platform offers defenses against online fraud techniques that exploit the recently discovered vulnerability in DNS, and that it delivers such security without compromising user convenience. Furthermore, Green Armor’s defense approach can shield against attacks that leverage as of yet unannounced DNS vulnerabilities.
The recently announced serious DNS vulnerability allows criminals to potentially reroute web requests to a rogue server which impersonates a legitimate business server. Such an attack can trick unsuspecting people into divulging their usernames, passwords, and other personal information, thereby facilitating crimes such as financial fraud, corporate espionage, and identity theft.
Green Armor’s Identity Cues Two Factor utilizes multiple defenses against such attacks. It proactively utilizes psychologically-sound site authentication to make obvious to users whether they are communicating with a legitimate business server or with a criminal’s clone. Additionally, Green Armor’s behind-the-scenes multi-factor authentication can stop a criminal from gaining access to a business system even if the criminal somehow managed to obtain a user’s login credentials. As such, even if hackers successfully exploit a DNS weakness and launch attacks, an organization that protects its online business systems with Green Armor’s authentication can remain secure from many adverse repercussions.
Green Armor’s system has consistently proven to be both more secure and more user-friendly than competing products. The Aite Group has described Green Armor as providing the “best site authentication,” and Neil Steffen, Senior Manager at EPIC Advisors, noted that after comparing authentication solutions from several vendors he “found Green Armor’s technology to be head-and-shoulders above those of the other firms. The Green Armor system simply offers a much better user experience as well as stronger security than the technology offered by competing providers.”
Furthermore, Green Armor’s technology can secure access to systems from both computers and mobile devices/smartphones such as Apple’s iPhone, RIM’s BlackBerry devices, Motorola’s Q phone, Palm’s Treo series, and other handheld computers.
