'One-Device-Security Solution' Sets New Standards for Organizations Looking for a Single, Mobile, All-Application, Hardware, Security Device

PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- A week before Cartes, the world's leading Digital Security Event, GOTrust Technology Inc. (GO-Trust) and i-Sprint Innovations (i-Sprint) have announced they will be demonstrating the uniquely innovative and ready to ship 'One-Device-Security Solution.' Built on the combined technologies of GO-Trust and i-Sprint this is complete end-to-end security from the phone to the back-office. It is a universal solution for mobile PKI, One Time Passwords, VPN, secure SMS and out-of-band requirements, overcoming many critical security vulnerabilities such as Man-In-The-Middle-Attacks and Real-Time Phishing. Now a single device, your phone, can work securely with multiple delivery channels such as e-Commerce, m-Commerce, ATM/Kiosks and over-the-counter transactions.

The companies have entered into a strategic alliance partnership where GO-Trust will provide the client-side technology and i-Sprint will provide the back-office technology and integration. They are actively looking for Resellers, around the world, that specialize in the banking, government and enterprise security solutions.

GO-Trust provides trusted security solutions built into microSD modules that can be inserted in most mobile phones, smart phones or PDAs. The microSD client side applications for 'One-Device-Security Solution' developed by GO-Trust include mobile OTP, mobile VPN and PKI enabled secure SMS. The microSD uses a smart card chip that is FIPS 140-2 level 3, FIPS 201, EMV and Common Criteria EAL4+ Certified and Common Criteria EAL5+ Compliant and has multi-platform support including Windows 2000/2003/XP/Vista, Blackberry, Android, Qualcomm (Brew), Linux, Symbian System and Windows Mobile (Smart Phone and Pocket PC). It is compatible with most devices that support SD and microSD. It does not require any additional drivers and can include up to 8 Gigabytes of user available flash memory. "Combining technologies with i-Sprint to offer complete mobile security solutions rather than individual pieces of the security puzzle is a very exciting venture for GO-Trust. It increases the value and usability of both our companies' products," remarked Darren Lee, CEO of GO-Trust.

i-Sprint provides the device-agnostic 'AccessMatrix' Universal Authentication Server for back-office user validation and transaction authorization. i-Sprint's bank-graded Universal Authentication Server provides a granular administration delegation model, flexible token management features and fine-grained authorization framework, which have been proven among regional and global financial institutions for large scale deployment. The AccessMatrix backend server provides the solid framework for the total solution and simplifies security operations and application integration. Albert Ching, CEO of i-Sprint commented, "This One-Device-Security Solution is the platform which many of our corporate and financial institution clients are looking for to overcome the compatibility issues among mobile devices while co-existing with legacy solutions. The joint effort from GO-Trust and i-Sprint is in response to security threats in a fast growing commerce over the internet. Our collaboration not only accelerates our product integration, it also delivers a solid platform for us to provide more innovative security solutions in our product pipeline to address the explosive growth of the smart mobile phone as the device of choice for the mobile generation."

RACINE, Wis., Nov. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- In its continuing initiatives around Doing What's Right, SC Johnson, A Family Company, recently announced its first commitment as part of its involvement in the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI). Founded by former President Bill Clinton in 2005, CGI brings world leaders from a variety of backgrounds together to create partnerships that result in innovative and measurable solutions to some of the world's most pressing challenges.

SC Johnson is rolling out a new anti-Malaria information, education and communication (IEC) program, based on the success of the company's previous anti-malaria initiatives. In partnership with the Global Business Coalition (GBC), an organization focused on helping companies fight malaria on a global scale, a repository of malaria-related information will be created for Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs), governments, businesses and community health groups to help them support their local populations in Africa and other parts of the world where families are at risk of contracting malaria. All of the information will be shared with these groups electronically either via the GBC website or via email. This program will provide valuable resources and best practices for organizations and people motivated to educate others on the risks of malaria, as well as its prevention and treatment. In essence, it will be a one-stop-shop for anti-malaria information.

By making the commitment to CGI, SC Johnson is demonstrating the importance it places on fighting malaria. It also allows the company to draw on CGI's resources when needed.

"SC Johnson is honored to make this commitment to the Clinton Global Initiative. CGI has an outstanding record of doing what's right by creating partnerships that deliver results," said SC Johnson Executive Vice President - Worldwide Corporate & Environmental Affairs Jane Hutterly. "Through our collaboration with the Global Business Coalition, we can make our goals a reality. Together we can make a difference by empowering people with education and tools to fight the ravages of malaria."

This program takes a train-the-trainer approach to information distribution. The materials will appear in both English and Portuguese. Given their over-sized images and hard-hitting messages, they should have an effect regardless of the prevailing language of a region.

SC Johnson's IEC program will be hosted on GBC's website and should be available to anyone with access to the Internet by year end.

SC Johnson's Commitment to Doing What's Right

SC Johnson has a wide variety of efforts to drive global development and growth that benefit the people around us and the planet we all share. From exceptional philanthropy, volunteerism and education to new business models that bring economic growth to the world's poorest communities, we're helping to create stronger communities for families around the globe. For example:

    --  The company led the industry by increasing transparency and further
        demonstrating our commitment to doing what's right with the voluntary
        launch of our innovative ingredient disclosure initiative, which openly
        communicates product ingredients, including fragrances, dyes and
        preservatives.
    --  SC Johnson continued to make strides using its patented Greenlist(TM)
        process, with use of "Better" and "Best" rated materials increasing to
        47 percent of total materials.
    --  Through cogeneration with landfill gas, wind power and biofuels, almost
        36 percent of SC Johnson's total electricity usage worldwide came from
        renewable energy.
    --  The company's base of the pyramid efforts in Kenya and other countries
        continued, and it has kicked off a supply chain initiative with Rwandan
        pyrethrum farmers and the Borlaug Institute at Texas A&M.
    --  SC Johnson continued to provide valued support to the communities where
        we operate, with our 10-year cumulative giving surpassing $180 million.

    --  The company sets aside 5 percent of pre-tax profits globally for
        corporate giving - nearly four times the average - and works with
        partners, such as Conservation International. Around the world, our
        subsidiary companies contribute an average of 2 percent of pre-tax
        profits and partner with local foundations.

About SC Johnson:

SC Johnson is a family-owned and managed business dedicated to innovative, high-quality products, excellence in the workplace and a long-term commitment to the environment and the communities in which it operates.

SAN DIEGO, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 11/11/09 -- Three federally subsidized programs are available to help both employers and employees in the San Diego region. As part of San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation's (EDC) outreach efforts, EDC has teamed with the San Diego Workforce Partnership to inform the businesses community about these programs, and assist companies with taking advantage of the benefits.

The first program, "On-the-Job Training," allows area businesses to be reimbursed for the costs of training their current employees. Reimbursement is made for up to 50% of the wages or salaries earned by employees during their training period. To meet the criteria employees must enhance their knowledge and skills while working toward a higher wage position at the company.

The second program, "Customized Training," is designed for companies in expansion mode. This program funds up to 50% of an employer's training costs to train new employees. To be eligible, the training must be relevant to the business and for an occupation that is in regional demand.

The third program called "Rapid Response" helps mitigate the effects of downsizing for both companies and their employees. EDC helps area businesses by connecting their recently laid off employees with the region's network of One-Stop Career Centers and workforce development professionals. These career centers provide a wide range of free services helping job seekers find new employment.

"If your company has training needs or is facing a downsize, we can help," says Katie Mayfield, Business Development Manager with San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation. "Our goal is to connect local companies, large and small, to these resources."

Because these programs are funded by federal stimulus dollars under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, funds are limited and time-sensitive. To learn more about these training and layoff assistance programs, contact EDC's Business Development Manager Katie Mayfield at (619) 234-8484 or km@sandiegobusiness.org.

CHICAGO, Nov. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- This year the User Experience Alliance (UXalliance), a global network of leading user research firms, celebrated World Usability Day by unveiling the preliminary findings of the first "Global-Local Monitor" conducted on airline Web sites.

The Global-Local Monitor assesses how well a site is localized or adapted to local language and culture. Localization is based on factors such as the proper use of local languages, character sets, weights and measures, currencies, dates and times, and culturally sensitive imagery. In this case, how well an airline's Web site is localized could measurably impact their customer's ability to complete travel bookings or find important information. Ultimately it impacts brand perception and sales.

The Global-Local Monitor for airlines drew upon the talents and expertise of over 70 user experience professionals from 17 countries across Asia, Europe and the Americas; this is the broadest systematic localization review ever conducted by user experience professionals. The Global-Local airline monitor involved five local user experience experts in each country, each reviewing the ten Web sites on 30 localization criteria.

The ten Web sites surveyed were those shortlisted for the Skytrax Airline of the Year Award, which annually rates airline performance by more than 16 million air travelers.

The UXalliance investigated whether the airlines recognized by their outstanding service in the air also deliver that same outstanding service in their online customer experience to users in various locations around the world.

The findings reveal that, out of the world's ten top-rated airlines, Emirates, Quantas and Qatar Airways rated highest in terms of meeting of the needs of local users around the world. The determining success factors were information in the local language, culturally appropriate character sets, colors schemes and imagery, and well-localized calendar formats. The airlines that rated lowest tended to be less developed or representative of the local markets. The full localization ratings and rankings were as follows:

    Airline           Rating         Rank
    Emirates          7.76           1
    Quantas           7.32           2
    Qatar             7.27           3
    Singapore         7.26           4
    CathayPacific     7.21           5
    NewZealand        7.15           6
    Thai              6.88           7
    Etihad            6.76           8
    Asiana            6.49           9
    Malaysia          6.37           10

Through their extensive experience in global user research, the UXalliance knows that companies that do a great job in localizing their sites have a higher probability of connecting with their customers and maximizing the profitability of their local Web sites. "When facing a global audience, localizing your Web site in all aspects is key to maximizing the user's experience. Translation alone does not equal localization, and ensuring designs that respect cultural awareness is quite important. By not localizing sites, global organizations risk reduced task completion and conversion rates and increased customer support costs," explains Anna Haywood, Senior Consultant at Serco ExperienceLab (UK).

A full detailed report of the "Global-Local Monitor: Top Rated Airlines" study will be available in December on request from aimee@uxalliance.com.

About the UXalliance

The UXalliance has served as a dependable and cost-effective partner to global companies, functioning as a single point of contact to facilitate research requests that go beyond borders since 2005. With over 20 companies, 250 global projects completed to date, 50+ usability labs, and nearly 300 user experience professionals, the UXalliance assures the quality and expertise clients look for in global research projects.
