PG Key Provides New Technology to Keep Kids Safe Online
Internet more dangerous than ever for kids – new usb device puts parents in control
Tucson, AZ (PRWEB) March 3, 2009 — Most of the dangers to kids online can’t be prevented with web filters and site blocking software. That’s the conclusion of the recent report from the Internet Safety Technical Task Force that included representatives from MySpace, Google Inc., AOL and Facebook Inc.
Task force member, Attorney General Roy Cooper of North Carolina said in his recent interview “Clearly, the main responsibility is on parents.”
This conclusion mirrors what parenting experts and law enforcement officials have been advising – Parents must be vigilant and involved in their children’s daily internet use.
Advice of experts and parents used to develop PG Key
The developers of PGKey assembled law enforcement professionals, parenting experts, concerned parents, and even kids themselves to gain a clearer understanding of the technical and parenting challenges faced by today’s high-tech families.
Some of the greatest concerns from parents were the dangers of cyber-bullying, online messaging with strangers, and the problems that arise when inappropriate information and pictures are posted on kids social networking sites. These problems in particular are difficult or impossible to prevent with existing filtering products.
While the parents interviewed agreed with the strategy of monitoring as the most effective way to prevent these dangers, they repeatedly expressed the need for a simpler and more complete method to create the safe environment being advised. PG key allows parents to simulate the environment that would otherwise require the impracticality of constant supervision.
PG Key helps fight tough internet dangers
PG Key plugs into any USB port on the computer in use. Similar to a car key, the key must be inserted in order for the child to “drive” onto the internet. When PG Key is in the computer, a combination of content filters, activity recording and alert notifications are enabled for the internet session. These features allow parents to enforce the rules they set for their kids’ safe computer use.
PG Key available now
PG Key is available from the manufactures website www.pgkey.com. Requirements and product details can be found on the website. A version for Mac and a similar product for mobile devices are currently in development and due for release soon.

Cryptographic Software Provider GlobalCrypto Announces Host Of New Features And Functionality To Help Web Applications Create a More Secure Environment
Latest version of GlobalCrypto’s cryptographic software delivers a more feature-rich suite of security products and now makes cryptographic level security affordable for Web applications regardless of size or budget.
(PRWEB) March 3, 2009 — GlobalCrypto, the leader in low-cost, user-friendly cryptographic security for Web applications, today announced new functionality with the release of its version 2.3 suite of web application security (http://www.globalcrypto.com/) products.
Cryptographic security has traditionally been out of reach for most Web applications due to its cost and complexity. But now GlobalCrypto makes cryptographic Web security affordable, user-friendly and extremely easy to install and operate for Web applications of any size.
GlobalCrypto’s RealMe software is the only solution to embed cryptographic information in a digital image and use this image to exchange confidential and unique information between a Web site and a user. This process, known as steganography, enables the company to provide PKI-level security without tokens, cards or any type of hardware.
In fact, GlobalCrypto’s Web application security delivers this ultra-high level of security without user certificates so there is nothing for the user to install and no cumbersome login requirements.
GlobalCrypto software is available either on-premise or in the cloud. Communication with the engine takes place via an xml web service making installation fast and painless.
GlobalCrypto’s web application security software can be used to solve a host of fraud related problems for Web applications never before able to afford this level of security. Customer applications include:
User Authentication – GlobalCrypto software enables a user to upload a photo of their choice and have that picture embedded with cryptographic information unique to the user and Web site. The image is then split between the user and the Web application. No login can take place until the user unlocks the encrypted data in the image with their password and both halves of the encrypted information match. Users simply enter a password, which is never transmitted across the Internet, and GlobalCrypto’s software does the rest.
This authentication process stops phishing and other Internet fraud attacks commonly used to steal a user’s identity and credit card information and gain unauthorized access to Web sites.
Content Protection – Put a stop to unapproved downloading and distribution of web content (https://www.globalcrypto.com/cryptographic-security-for-web-content/). Web sites can create a more secure environment for transacting business and accelerating commerce by protecting documents, images, contracts, videos or any type of web content from unauthorized viewing and distribution. The software also enables users to digitally sign documents, thereby saving time and avoiding shipping costs.
Prevent Membership Sharing – Especially beneficial for SaaS companies at risk of having multiple users share a single membership or seat license. Web applications can require members to login from a designated computer or device, or restrict the number of devices used to access a Web site using a single membership. No more lost revenue from membership sharing.
Access multiple applications with a single, secure login – GlobalCrypto now delivers functionality similar to OpenID but designed specifically for businesses that require better visibility and a strong relationship with the Identity Provider. Rather than simply trusting an unknown Identity Provider, GlobalCrypto’s software can be in installed in the customer’s operating environment and serve as the Identity Provider. RealMe becomes the delegated authenticator and can be installed on-premise or in the cloud and offered as an on-demand service. GlobalCrypto uses a Security Assertion Mark-Up Language (SAML) integration to leverage trusted relationships between a business and its SaaS vendors. The RealMe Web single sign-on (SSO) solution provides an efficient way for customers and/or employees to authenticate to any trusted Web service.
No more juggling multiple passwords or managing lost password requests. Credentials can be managed centrally and issued or revoked instantly by the IT administrator. GlobalCrypto can provide unified audit logs, a real-time dashboard console and an ongoing flexible reporting engine.
About Global Crypto
Only GlobalCrypto provides PKI-level security without certificates, tokens, smart cards or any other type of hardware or third-party authority. GlobalCrypto makes cryptographic security affordable for any web application while making the user experience extremely simple and user-friendly. GlobalCrypto’s web application security can be used to securely authenticate users, minimize fraud attacks, protect web content, prevent membership sharing, and provide real-time fraud detection and reporting – while offering end-users an easy-to-use solution for safeguarding their online transactions and identities.

Autonomic Software Offers Immediate Rollout of Interim Fix for Major Adobe Reader/Acrobat Security Vulnerabilities
Millions of desktops threatened by PDF-based exploits – Autonomic’s ANSA offers immediate protection while users await permanent patch
Danville, CA (Vocus) March 3, 2009 — Autonomic Software has announced that ANSA Platinum offers immediate protection from the risks posed by the recently-announced security vulnerability (http://www.autonomic-software.com) within Adobe’s Acrobat and Reader applications.
This security flaw allows online criminals to take advantage of a buffer-overflow error in several versions of Adobe Reader (http://www.autonomic-software.com) and Acrobat, making it possible for them to steal information from these PC’s and use them to remotely attack and infect other PCs.
ANSA Platinum automatically deploys Adobe’s suggested interim fix to every PC in an organization, and will automatically deploy the permanent patches when they become available for the at-risk Adobe programs and versions.
The adoption of the PDF format by both PC and Mac users has made it one of the most ubiquitous applications on the planet, with estimates of users far exceeding 100 million. Adobe has acknowledged that the flaw exists in all supported versions of its products. Published reports indicate Adobe plans to make a patch available for Adobe Acrobat 9 and Adobe Reader 9 on March 11, and expects to make updates available for Adobe Reader 7 and 8, and Acrobat 7 and 8 by March 18th. Commercial antivirus software does not yet offer specific protection against the exploits that attack this flaw.
“The industry recognizes the seriousness – the potential global impact – of this flaw, and waiting until March 11, March 18 or beyond is simply far too much unquantifiable risk for most organizations,” said Tony Gigliotti, Autonomic CEO. “We felt it was crucial to let companies know ANSA allows them to automatically roll out both the interim fix and the final patch – literally at the push of a button.”
ANSA Platinum is a highly sophisticated network management tool that implements and automates patch management, asset management, software deployment, configuration management, corporate or regulatory compliance and power conservation functionality. ANSA’s patented Universal Agent Technology extends to the network, system, and application levels, enabling automated monitoring and management of those systems with little or no IT involvement. The Suite installs quickly, is 100 percent accurate in network scans, and is future-proofed to accommodate forthcoming network and data technologies.
IT and security managers can request additional information and a demonstration of how ANSA Platinum addresses these new vulnerabilities by calling Autonomic Software at (925) 820-8074. Product information is also available at http://www.Autonomic-Software.com

Afilias to Provide 1-Click DNSSEC(tm) Service to Simplify DNS Security Rollout
New solution to speed adoption of DNSSEC and enhance Internet security
Dublin, Ireland — Today Afilias announced the beta launch of 1-Click DNSSECTM , an enhancement to its Managed DNS Service (www.afilias.info/dnssec), that allows organizations, corporations and government agencies to enable DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) on their domains, quickly and easily. Afilias is currently accepting ‘proof of concept’ testing customers and expects to officially rollout 1-Click DNSSECTM as a service available to all of the Afilias Managed DNS customers later this year.
“Afilias’ 1-Click DNSSEC makes it simple and cost-effective to implement DNSSEC, as it requires no new customer hardware or software and it eliminates customer worries about issuing, distributing or maintaining DNSSEC keys,” said John Kane, Vice President of Corporate Services for Afilias. “DNSSEC adoption has been slowed in the past by these costly and complex stumbling blocks, but Afilias has solved these problems. 1-Click DNSSEC is a complete solution and allows anyone to sign their zone with one simple click.”
Afilias’ 1-Click DNSSEC is an add-on service to its Managed DNS product that already provides users with the most diverse, globally available infrastructure to manage traffic to their Web presence. In addition to Afilias’ 100% uptime guarantee, 1-Click DNSSECTM will provide users with:
• Automatic creation of the public/private keys required for DNSSEC
• Seamless key management and key rollover
• Easy coordination with participating ICANN-accredited registrars sponsoring the domains to be signed
• Distribution of public keys to parent zones, Trust Anchor Repositories and DNSSEC Look-Aside Validation (DLV) registries.
“Afilias is uniquely positioned to leverage our DNSSEC technology, already chosen to power the DNSSEC enablement for .org, and our existing relationships with ICANN accredited registrars to offer this full end-to-end managed service,” added Kane. “Afilias’ solution makes it possible for organizations or government agencies to have the security of DNSSEC and the convenience of effortless management, all rolled into one solution.”
“With the signing of domains such as .org and .gov this year and the possible signing of the Root imminent, Afilias’ 1-Click DNSSEC solution may be able to help speed the market to finally see our first fully DNSSEC compliant zones,” added Ram Mohan, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer for Afilias.
Afilias will be demonstrating its 1-Click DNSSECTM service during GovSec (http://www.govsecinfo.com/) in Washington D.C. March 11-12, 2009. Visit Afilias at booth # 301 or http://www.afilias.info/1-click-dnssec for additional information on Afilias’ 1-Click DNSSECTM solution.
About DNSSEC
DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) was first introduced in the mid-1990s as an additional security measure to protect the DNS from cache poisoning exploits which can allow a bad actor to get in the middle of an Internet users’ request to access a Web site without their knowledge. The protocol officially became an RFC in 2005. In 2008, The Public Interest Registry announced that, in conjunction with their technical services provider Afilias, they would sign .org. Also in 2008, the US Office of Management and Budget issued a mandate for .mil and .gov to be signed. The US Department of Commerce is currently considering implications of signing the official Internet Root. Additional information on DNSSEC is available at: www.afilias.info/dnssec
About Afilias
Afilias is a global provider of Internet infrastructure services that connect people to their data. Afilias’ reliable, secure, scalable, and globally available technology supports a wide range of applications including Internet domain registry services, Managed DNS, and services in the RFID and supply chain market with its Afilias Discovery Service.

Etihad Airways Selects SunGard’s Kiodex SaaS Solution for Fuel Hedging
Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, has chosen SunGard’s Kiodex Risk Workbench, a Web-based trading and risk management solution, to help manage its jet fuel hedging program.
New York, NY (Vocus) March 2, 2009 — Etihad Airways (http://www.etihadairways.com/), the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, has chosen SunGard’s Kiodex (http://www.sungard.com/kiodex) Risk Workbench, a Web-based trading and risk management solution, to help manage its jet fuel hedging program. Etihad Airways’ treasury department will use Kiodex for scenario analysis, pricing, reporting, settlement and hedge accounting, and to assist with the execution of derivatives-based hedging transactions.
James Rigney, Etihad Airways’ executive vice president finance, said: “Etihad has been actively managing jet fuel price risk since early 2007 and had hedging levels of 75% and 80% in place for 2007 and 2008, respectively. Our hedging policy allows us to hedge up to three years forward on a rolling basis, and we continually review our hedging activities in consultation with our Board of Directors. Etihad needed a complete solution that will help us take our hedging activities to the next level and more effectively protect the company’s profitability and drive business growth. SunGard’s Kiodex provides a completely automated environment for trade execution and administration, risk management, hedge accounting, independent data, models and custom reporting in one solution that is easily and quickly implemented in a SaaS environment.”
Delivered as Software-as-a-Service* (SaaS) solution, SunGard’s Kiodex is a Web-based commodity trading and risk management solution that integrates trade capture, valuation models, risk measurement, financial reporting and independent market data. Kiodex’s SaaS delivery model provides an automated, Web-based environment that will help Etihad to simplify implementation, accelerate time-to-market and gain ongoing processing efficiencies, while requiring minimal IT support.
Ben Jackson, chief operating officer of SunGard’s Kiodex business unit, said, “With increased commodity price volatility, many corporations—including airlines that need to manage their risk and decision-making in fuel by locking in fuel prices—are launching or increasing their hedging activity due to the large pull back in energy prices. The success of SunGard’s Kiodex in the airline industry, and with Etihad as its first customer in the Middle East, demonstrates Kiodex’s ability to effectively price, capture and risk manage commodity instruments traded globally, while meeting time-to-market and cost reduction requirements as a SaaS solution.”
*SunGard Financial Systems is pursuing a visionary initiative to transform some of the key functionality of its core systems into components to form a new software development and on-demand delivery environment called Infinity. Infinity enables financial institutions to develop and deploy custom applications, integrating SunGard components with their own proprietary or third party components. Infinity uses SunGard’s Common Services Architecture (CSA), a service-oriented architecture (SOA) development framework, offering business process management (BPM) and a virtualized, software-as-a-service (SaaS) infrastructure.
