NewswireToday - /newswire/ - Austin, TX, United States, 07/13/2006 - With online fraud threats ever on the rise, an Austin Texas company provides a solution that attacks the problem with a proactive angle. No longer must businesses with an online presence rely on their customer to defend themselves.

Exact Consulting, an information security practice in Austin, Texas, announces the public release of it's active Anti-Phishing Defense service. Tackling the problem of email and online fraud from a proactive point of view and not relying on the end user to protect themselves from the ever rising threats from online criminals, Exact Consulting has brought a new dimension of protection to the concerned corporation.

Built on a subscription model, the defense process involves actively seeking phishing and pharming attempts directed at company’s customers that communicate via email. The service, which is completely transparent to the end user and unobtrusive to company which subscribe, is effectively a magnet for cyber criminals. Once a fraudulent action is detected Exact Consulting notifies the affected customer and pursues the offender in an effort to have their internet presence removed from the web. If the victim of the attack feels it's warranted, Exact Consulting serves as a technology liaison for the prosecution of the offenders.

Bill Hancock, Exact Consulting's President has this to say "With this service's release we really believe we can reduce the overall threat of online fraud on the Internet. We are actively focused on protecting companies and their customers and pursuing these criminals. That is what sets us apart from the other more passive non-solutions out there. Our service also allows our customers to build a more protective and trusting relationship with their customers, we believe the adoption of our service will become a de facto standard for doing business on the Internet."

The release of Exact Consulting's Anti-Phishing Service coincides with a recent speech on Anti-Phishing and online fraud prevention given to a huge audience of Credit Union CEOs at CUNA Mutual’s 2006 Discovery Conference at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas Nevada, where the solution was very well received and eagerly anticipated by the United States credit union industry.
