ImageWare Systems Joins Amazon Web Services Partner Network to Offer Multi-Modal Biometric Authentication

ImageWare leverages the AWS infrastructure to provide Reliable, Scalable and Performance-Driven GoMobile Interactive Cloud Service as a SaaS Solution

ImageWare Systems, Inc. (OTCQB: IWSY), a leader in mobile and cloud-based, multi-modal biometric identity management solutions, has become a Technology Partner in the AWS Partner Network (APN). IWS will be providing its GoMobile Interactive® cloud service to GoVerifyID® mobile app users by leveraging the global scale, reliability and security of Amazon Web Services (AWS).

AWS delivers a collection of cloud computing services that make up the on-demand computing platform. ImageWare will now build on AWS to offer GoMobile Interactive® as a SaaS solution across multiple geographic regions. Building on AWS allows ImageWare to leverage a variety of different services that AWS offers, such as the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), a service that allows users to rent virtual compute capacity to run their own applications; Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), a product that provides developers and IT teams with secure cloud storage; and the Amazon Route 53, a highly-scalable cloud domain name system web service; among other AWS offerings.

"Qualifying for the APN builds upon our commercial collaboration strategy and significantly increases our market exposure," said Jim Miller, ImageWare's Chairman and CEO. "We will benefit from the business, technical, and marketing support that AWS provides to its APN members, as well as AWS' expansive geographical footprint. We will also benefit from the scalability and cost-effectiveness of the AWS platform as we take advantage of AWS advanced capabilities to provide multi-modal biometric identity verification to users on their mobile devices."

Built on ImageWare's patented Biometric Engine®, GoMobile Interactive is an API-driven mobile platform that combines dynamic template-based messaging with multi-modal biometrics for added security. This platform offers the security needed to protect a customer's entire mobile life. As mobile devices become an increasingly vital and useful tool, the unparalleled protection of creating mobile biometric devices using multi-modal biometrics enables powerful value-added activities, such as device security and two-way communication.

"The Unintentional Insider Threat (UIT) is the biggest security issue corporations face today. Users, sometimes knowingly but more often than not unknowingly, are putting their organization at risk through a variety of actions such as clicking on phishing messages, going to nefarious websites, running risky software (TOR/BitTorrent), running outdated software (Java, Flash), using "HTTP" versus "HTTPS", connecting to unsafe WIFIs, connecting personal assets like phones/tablets to the corporate WIFI, allowing children to play games like Minecraft on corporate assets (laptops), etc. NetWatcher helps organizations detect all of these hygiene issues that open an organization up for exploit."

For the above noted 16,490 MobiKEY subscribers, Route1's average revenue per subscriber will increase in Q2 2016 to CAD $375 or better as a result of the improved exchange rate Route1 has realized since renewing certain U.S. government accounts in March and April 2016.

"Our current and potential government customers continue to be operationally focused on Cybersecurity Sprints, as mandated by the Obama Administration. These so-called sprints involve scanning, patching and hardening deployed systems within very short turnaround times, typically within 30 days. These sprints and other cybersecurity initiatives within the U.S. government create substantial opportunities for MobiKEY deployment as departments and agencies look to improve their security best practices."

Steve Cocco, 27 year FBI veteran and President, Security Strategies Today

"I have dedicated my professional life to law enforcement and security and am now the president of my own company. I got here after 27 years with the FBI, having started off in the Bureau's New York office as a linguist in the 1980s. I was so impressed with the professionalism of the agency that I decided I wanted to become an agent and was honored to be given the opportunity. I spent several years as a field agent in San Diego and New York before going into management. That took me to Rome, Italy, where I was assigned to the US embassy to support the FBI's mission overseas. I also responded to the US embassy bombings in East Africa and conducted extensive FBI-sponsored training to foreign law enforcement partners in Africa and in Latin America. I was given the opportunity to set up the FBI's Joint Terrorsim Task Force in the San Juan, Puerto Rico division and finally served as Assistance Special Agent in Charge in Phoenix. It was just an amazing career with outstanding people and opportunities.

We are a full service security consulting firm and we spend the bulk of our time and efforts on conducting threat and risk assessments for private clients, including companies and small businesses. As part of our efforts to enhance the security posture of companies that have a limited budget, we recently put together low cost packages that allow a business to get an on-site security assessment conducted by professionals. 

A key aspect to our threat assessment modeling includes providing the familiarization training to management which enables it to identify possible 'insider threats' to the business. Quite often, the most significant threat to safe and secure operations stems from employees or contractors who abscond with company data, merchandise, cash or intellectual property. Although these may all be chargeable offenses, why not take proactive steps to spot trends and activities that are suspect and implement measures to counter these threats before a loss is incurred? "
