Green Armor Solutions Introduces Identity Cues
June 26, 2005
This past week, an innovative system, designed by a psychologist in conjunction with an information-security expert, was introduced to help enterprises prevent their users from falling prey to phishing, pharming, and online fraud. Through the use of simple visual cues, Identity Cues by Green Armor Solutions makes obvious to even non-technical and untrained users whether they are communicating with an organization's legitimate web-site or with a phony site set up by a criminal -- and it provides this benefit without requiring users to install any software, carry any security devices, register for any services, or memorize any extra secrets. Even if users do not make a conscious effort to use the anti-phishing system it can still be quite effective.
