We like to thank Microsoft and Guidewire group for hosting the event and the judges for putting us top three out of 300 companies.

We like to congratulate the winners and hopefully we will take first prize the next time.

BehavioSec was interviewed by Metro Teknik one of Sweden's largest newspapers.

BehavioSec is a technology that could protect in the instance of leaving a computer unattended. The article was included in a series about corporate data theft and how you can protect your data from leaking out. In the article they estimate that 79 percent of management leave their computer unattended and that 43 percent of Swedish executives leave their computer's with strangers when going outside of the office. The numbers come from a recent study by Absolute software and Ponemon institute

BehavioSec has entered a strategic partnership with BitSec regarding log management and forensics. BitSec is a leading provider of advanced information and IT security. Together with BehavioSec technology BitSec have taken aim on companies that have the need to verify that only the correct person had access to a specific computer whenever there already been a breach and also proactively protect from insider abuse.

Security architects must apply numerous solutions in parallel to thwart attackers. Online behaviometrics offer an interesting authentication layer for web security. Therefore we publish a new white paper about FAR/FRR in a web environment. This paper includes the architecture and results of an independent study into the characteristics of Behaviometrics for typical use in web forms.

We present this paper to show how the BehavioSec technology can be applied in online banking. The White paper presents results from a proof of concept performed with a banking consortium. By analyzing the behavior of short sessions have been able to tell the difference between individuals and thus ensured that only the right person can verify a transaction with 96% accuracy.

The white paper is available at http://www.behaviosec.com/dlWhitepaper3.html

BehavioSec CEO, Olov Renberg, was awarded IT-entreprenur of the year. The price is given out by Dataföreningen in the region of Norrbotten to encourage the startup and growth of new IT-companies.

Olov was also nominated as the young entreprenur of the year.

Correctly defining the false accept and false reject ratios for biometrics technologies is an active research area. Our engineering team has made significant progress in developing metrics for evaluating the complex issue of FAR/FRR for continuous authentication. We applied this methodology to empirical data taken from a customer environment with some interesting results. The report and further details are available on request. If you have Behavio evaluation versions installed and are interested in knowing more about the FAR/FRR in your environment please contact us.

Behaviosec have been awarded research funding by VINNOVAS program Forska&Väx (research and grow). The funding will be used to expand Behaviometrics for on-line identification and verification. The solution is going to be used as a supplementary product for securing and simplifying the on-line verification of e-identity.

BehavioSec will be presenting under the topic
Evolutions in Behavioral Biometrics: From Passwords to Continuous Authentication and Verification

Biometrics 2009 at 12.30 the 22nd of October at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre in Westminster, London, UK 

The talk is a part of the topic 'Next Generation Biometrics''
It is easy to forget the biometrics industry is still in its development phase from a technical standpoint. Newer biometrics, such as vein recognition, have emerged as strong contenders in recent years. Meanwhile, the performance of existing technologies, such as iris, facial recognition and AFIS, are moving forward rapidly, especially when combined. Where will the technology be in the future, what could next generation biometrics look like?
