AlphaBest Consulting and Transcription Partners with Passfaces(TM) to offer Patented Authentication Technology

“Security continues to be a big concern for us as well as our clients”

Passfaces Corporation and AlphaBest today announced a strategic partnership to increase the availability of Passfaces's cognometrics authentication solution. AlphaBest will resell Passfaces products, as well as integrate the Passfaces authentication technology into its digital documentation solutions for medical, legal and insurance industry clients. This additional security offering provides AlphaBest's customers with a unique authentication capability for securing data repositories and protected information.

"Security continues to be a big concern for us as well as our clients," said Julianne Weight, CEO of AlphaBest. "Our clients handle highly confidential data and require authentication capability that is a scalable, best-of-breed solution capable of meeting unique needs in diverse industries. We found this in both Passfaces' technology and product offerings. We look forward to a mutually beneficial relationship with the Passfaces team."

Passfaces is an innovative, patented strong authentication technology that leverages the brain's innate cognitive ability to recognize human faces - a powerful and completely intuitive skill. Passfaces authenticates the person, rather than a device or piece of software and cannot be forgotten, lost or easily stolen. The technology meets all requirements for consumer authentication - security, usability, reliability, portability, manageability and low cost - providing a highly reliable strong authentication solution that builds customer confidence while supporting business risk management objectives.

The software offering includes Passfaces for Windows and Passfaces Web Access. Passfaces for Windows is an out-of-the-box strong authentication solution for Windows networks, Microsoft(R) IIS based intranets, extranets and enterprise web services. Passfaces Web Access is designed to integrate Passfaces with web access applications. The package features a Software Developers Kit (SDK) with a Server-side Java Class Package, Passfaces Library (database of faces), and the User Interface (client). The technology can be implemented in days.

"AlphaBest is a welcome addition to our growing list of partners. AlphaBest leads the way in their consulting and transcription business for the medical, legal and insurance industries," said Paul Barrett, CEO Passfaces. "With a focus on technology, business management and quality assurance, AlphaBest can now offer a flexible authentication solution that will appeal to a wide range of their clients. It is a pleasure to be working with such a highly regarded team," added Barrett.

AlphaBest was incorporated in 2000 and in 2003 launched TalkDocs as a division designed to aid professionals in transitioning to the technology of the electronic information era. CEO Julianne Weight is an active member of the Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA), the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) and has had numerous published articles.
