Spencer Savings Bank Deploys StrikeForce's ProtectID(R) "Out-of-Band" Authentication Platform to Protect Corporate Assets & Meet Regulatory Compliance Requirements

This Is the Fourth Financial Institution in the Past Six Weeks That Has Chosen StrikeForce's Authentication Platform


EDISON, NJ--(Marketwire - Jan 10, 2012) - StrikeForce Technologies (OTCBB: SFOR), an innovator in the prevention of online Identity Theft and Data Breaches for enterprise, financial institutions, government and consumers, announced today that Spencer Bank has deployed its ProtectID "Out-of-Band" Authentication Software to protect corporate assets and meet regulatory compliance.

"After reviewing other top authentication technology vendors, it became clear that StrikeForce's ProtectID was the only technology that could meet our requirements," said Jonathan Shachov, Assistant Vice President for Spencer Bank. "No other authentication technology that we looked at offered as many deployment choices (on-premise, cloud or hybrid), as well as authentication methods ('Out-of-Band,' Hard Tokens & Mobile Tokens), as StrikeForce's ProtectID. Additionally, their technology offers authentication redundancy, and they are the patent holder for 'Out-of-Band Authentication,' setting the bar high for what an authentication technology should offer. In my opinion, there's no reason to look anywhere else."

"We are very pleased that Spencer Savings Bank has chosen our ProtectID 'Out-of-Band' Authentication Platform to protect their corporate assets and thereby aid in meeting FFIEC compliance requirements," says Mark L. Kay, CEO of StrikeForce. "It just further validates the robustness and flexibility of our Authentication and Transaction Authorization Technology that is protected by our 'Out-of-Band' Patent No. 7,870,599."

"This is our fourth announcement in the last six weeks specific to financial institutions choosing to license our ProtectID 'Out-of-Band' Authentication Platform to authenticate users and/or authorize transactions," says Kay, "and we are proud that one of our channel partners in the U.S., Datanet 2000 Inc., brought us this sale and is working on many other financial and government opportunities for our products."
