Eyedentify adds Counter Terrorism to Software

Eyedentify Software, Inc, has launched the Eyedentify Counter Terrorism software package, a software solution designed to help organizations identify and prevent interactions with sanctioned businesses and individuals. Employing this software supports compliance with mandated foreign assets control statutes, preventing business transactions with countries, businesses, and individuals that have been listed on the Terrorist Watch Alert.

To whom it may concern,

Your article in the last issue of Security announcing Eyedentify Software's new counter terrorism software was music to my ears. I live in the United States, and am the sole-proprietor of a small target gun re-selling company. At least 20% of my business is to foreign-based companies or individuals. Until now, I have not been able to determine if those that I sold my guns to were either engaged in or supporting terrorist activity. This new software seems to be able to alleviate some of my concern, as well as ensure that I am following existing statutes.

I am not very computer-literate, however, so I am concerned that I may not be able to operate the software once purchased. I use the computer to read e-mails and do my invoicing. Both of these are simple programs that do not require a lot of setup or deep thinking to operate. 1 am afraid that this software may be a little more technical, something I'd like to know before investing in a copy of it. Do you have any information on the level of difficulty of the software?

In addition, can you also forward me the contact information for Eyedentify Software, Inc.

Regards,

Lindsay Beggum Patchinsville, NY
