IndustrySuite Uses Vormetric Data Security Encryption for Critical Infrastructure and Key Resource Protection Program in Northeast.

Vormetric Supports Homeland Security Measures Implemented by IndustrySuite's Real-Time Personal Identity Verification System

FLEMINGTON, N.J. -- IndustrySuite LLC today announced that it is using Vormetric Data Security to meet worker surety requirements for security programs focused on protecting Critical Infrastructures and Key Resources (CI/KR). Vormetric's encryption and access control and security measures were selected by IndustrySuite to safeguard sensitive information maintained by its Real-Time Verification[TM] (RTV) system and required by the Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) and the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS 201).

IndustrySuite's patent-pending RTV system, a web-based personal identity-verification technology, is utilized to protect worksites at CI/KRs. RTV securely compiles and protects the sensitive security and critical Infrastructure Information of participating companies from unauthorized users. In the NY/NJ metro region, RTV empowers Secure Worker Access Consortium (S.W.A.C.), a large-scale collaborative effort among public and private authorities, facility owners, contractors, and labor organizations who are partnering to prevent terrorist activity by creating a trusted contractor community. Over 500 organizations, including the Port Authority of NY and NJ, which manages and maintains the bridges, tunnels, bus terminals, airports, PATH, and seaports that are essential to the bi-state region's trade and transportation capabilities, have joined this effort.

RTV provides real-time, permission-based information sharing, including identity verification and credential validation among disconnected facilities, so security managers can ensure that workers who have unescorted access to CI/KR are known and threat-free.

"As a service provider handling highly-confidential information for organizations that are responding to new security threats and stricter Homeland Security requirements, IndustrySuite regards data security as a core business requirement," said Dan Krantz, CEO of IndustrySuite. "We are relentless in protecting critical data assets and maintaining the privacy of workers who have entrusted us with their personal information."

"IndustrySuite selected Vormetric Data Security as our core data security solution based on its performance, availability, and reliability to support our need to provide our users with real-time access to sensitive information across our distributed environment," Krantz added. "Vormetric has been incredibly easy to use, requiring virtually no development effort or ongoing maintenance. It seamlessly meets our stringent requirements to transparently integrate with layered defenses and custom applications. Vormetric Data Security's high-performance satisfies our demanding throughput requirements that enable security personnel to authenticate an individual's identity and access rights in real-time."

"IndustrySuite's Real-Time Verification system is a great example of a true public-private partnership that is meeting a crucial need for secure, reliable, and rapidly available information in this age of terrorist threats and heightened concern for national security," Richard Gorman, president and CEO, Vormetric. "Vormetric is proud to play such an essential part, delivering unmatched data security quickly and effectively. We look forward to working closely with IndustrySuite as RTV expands to secure additional regions throughout the United States and abroad."
