THE BLUEGEM SOLUTION

LocalSSLTM ASP is a patented transaction security and identity theft protection software that has been proven and widely deployed. It protects all confidential data from identity and content theft while on protected websites or when preparing confidential e-mails. It accomplishes this by using multiple layers of security which protect against even the latest sophisticated hacking threats. Its patented “dual protection” system creates a virtualized data input channel between the keyboard and the browser, which uses 128 bit encryption that seamlessly integrates with network SSL/https channels. LocalSSL’s built-in intelligent engine uses domain authenticity verification to defeat phishing attacks, while strong visual cues provide user reassurance that the website is genuine and they are being actively protected.
 

THE PROBLEM
In 2006, individuals lost $5 billion to ID theft, whereas businesses lost $8 billion, according to the FTC. From the FBI's calculations, the number of victims ranges between 500,000 to 700,000 each year.

McAfee's Avert Labs predictions for 2007 included the increased prevalence of password-stealing websites, data loss and theft at the corporate level. Cyber-criminals will increasingly enlist sophisticated techniques such as rootkits, polymorphism and parasitic infectors to release new, for-profit builds.

McAfee Avert Labs reported that the number of keyloggers -- malicious software code that tracks typing activity to capture passwords and other private information -- has increased by 250 percent over the past two years.

There are over 12,000 keyloggers being shared on the internet today, and 80% of all keyloggers are not detectable by Anti-Virus or Anti-Spyware software or Firewalls according to the Australian Computer Response Team. Keyloggers are often hidden inside other software that has been unwittingly downloaded to the PC, so it should be no surprise that keyloggers are the hacker's favorite tool!

The amount of spyware on the internet has tripled over the last year, according to new research by Aladdin eSafe. "We are seeing a tremendous upswing in spyware and extremely vicious Trojans that are causing havoc for unfortunate consumers and organizations."
