Authentium's SafeCentral Passes Rigorous Security Tests by PC Magazine.


PC Mag's Lead Analyst for Operating Systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap.  and Security couldn't crack SafeCentral's wall

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. -- In a time when ID theft and fraud have become pervasive, security software vendors continue to tout products that guarantee to keep users safe. However, many products that promise "bulletproof Refers to extremely stable hardware and/or software that cannot be brought down no matter what unusual conditions arise. See industrial strength.

bulletproof - Used of an algorithm or implementation considered extremely robust; lossage-resistant; capable of correctly
 protection" are quickly cracked by leading industry experts. Not so with Authentium's SafeCentral.

The company today announced its SafeCentral secure-browsing service has earned 3.5 out of 5 stars from PC Magazine's Lead Analyst for Operating Systems and Security, Neil J. Rubenking. In his review, which can be read here (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2326037,00.asp?kc=PCRSS02129TX1K 0000530; Due to its length, this URL URL

His conclusion: SafeCentral delivers the iron-clad security Authentium promises. Rubenking was unable to compromise SafeCentral in any way. SafeCentral thwarted his attempts to capture account credentials and passwords using the most sophisticated keyloggers available.

Rubenking did however, point out several features and performance enhancements that he would like to see addressed. It is important to note that none of these suggestions affect SafeCentral's security, and Authentium agrees with these criticisms and is working aggressively to implement Rubenking's suggestions in a future release.

"PC Magazine is the trusted authority for consumers in testing vendors' claims," says Ray Dickenson, Chief Technology Officer for Authentium. "When an expert like Rubenking can't crack a product, you know you're dealing with an exceptional level of security. We appreciate the time that Rubenking spent testing SafeCentral, and the space PC Mag felt his review warranted. We look forward to addressing his feedback, and continue to optimize and refine the service. We're thrilled that PC Magazine validated the unique claims of our technology and its value to consumers. We couldn't be more excited about this review."
