New online security company launches at RSA, ConfIdent Technologies…

The founders of Vidoop launched ConfIdent Technologies LLC this week at the RSA conference. ConfIdentâ„¢ will work to serve the unique needs of the enterprise customer. ConfIdent Technologiesâ„¢ is a completely separate company and is going to license it’s RecoginitionAUTHâ„¢ technology to financial institutions, e-commerce websites, and corporations for use on VPN and web-based resources.

“The ConfIdent solution addresses the fact that passwords are the weak link in Internet security. No matter how complicated or lengthy passwords are, they are easily compromised by readily available keystroke recording software,” says ConfIdent Technologies President and CEO, Joel Norvell. “And as consumers use more online services, they tend to use the same passwords over and over which creates an added security risk. ConfIdent addresses this problem by eliminating passwords altogether and replacing them with stronger authentication that is also easier on users.”

“For the first time, corporate-grade security is available for the web,” says ConfIdent’s EVP Mitchell Savage. “With a software-only one-time access code, online banking can now be as secure as the best-guarded corporate networks, still enhancing the user experience.”

Of course ConfIdent Technologies will be under the hood securing the login.
