San Jose, CA —February 14, 2006 — Authentify, Inc., the leader in telephone-based identity management solutions, won SC Magazine Awards for Best Authentication and Best Biometric Device at the 2006 SC Awards gala held Tuesday, February 14, 2006. The 2006 SC Magazine Awards recognized the best IT Security products and services from a field of over 1,300 contenders. Winners were determined jointly by votes from SC Magazine readers and a panel of IT industry experts.

Authentify’s recognition as a leader in the area of Internet security comes at a time when many organizations have looked to authentication solutions for increased protection of online transactions. Financial institutions in particular have been prompted to incorporate stronger authentication as a result of the resent FDIC/FFIEC Guidance, FIL-103-2005, which requires two-factor authentication for e-accounts by the end of 2006. “With the increased need for stronger authentication throughout the online community, it is an exciting time for Authentify and its unique offering of economical, easily integrated two-factor authentication services. We are honored to be recognized as a leader in the field, and look to 2006 as another year of great opportunity for Authentify.”
