ID Vault Software From White Sky To Be Pre-Loaded on Lenovo IdeaPad Notebook Computers

Multi-Year Agreement Offers Lenovo Customers Best-in-Class Protection From Online Identity Theft and Fraud When They Bank and Shop Online

SAN MATEO, Calif., January 21, 2009 – White Sky, Inc., formerly Guard ID Systems, Inc., today announced it has signed a multi-year agreement with Lenovo Group, Ltd., to include its ID Vault identity theft prevention software on Lenovo IdeaPad® notebook computers and select versions of Lenovo Netbook computers. The ID Vault software will provide IdeaPad and Netbook customers with the security of enterprise-level two-factor authentication in an easy-to-use consumer software implementation.

Under the agreement, the ID Vault software will be pre-loaded on select IdeaPad notebooks and Netbooks, and customers have the opportunity to try ID Vault free for 30 days. After the 30 days, the cost to continue to use ID Vault will be $49.95 per year.

ID Vault delivers instant, secure access to users’ online accounts with a single PIN to provide automatic protection against phishing, pharming, spyware, keystroke loggers and other online threats. The unique ID Vault Secure View™ private browser provides protection against malicious plug-ins and other Web browser-based threats. ID Vault works with any Web-based online account that requires sign-in, including e-mail accounts.

“Our agreement with Lenovo demonstrates the compelling value that ID Vault offers to anyone who banks and shops online,” said David Watkins, CEO of White Sky, Inc. “The new ID Vault 4.0 software allows us to offer proven online identity theft protection via an easy-to-use software installation.”

Users will have access to the proprietary ID Vault Trusted Network, a “white list” of more than 8,000 trusted banking and e-commerce Web sites that is continually monitored to keep users safe from imposter sites designed to steal their identities. When consumers bank and shop online, the ID Vault Trusted Network verifies the IP address and sign-in protocols of the destination site to protect consumers from unknowingly logging in to fraudulent imposter sites.

Two-factor authentication
ID Vault is the only identity theft prevention solution built from the ground up to protect consumers against online identity theft when they are at their most vulnerable: when they conduct financial transactions online.

ID Vault is also the first product of its kind that employs enterprise-level two-factor authentication, which means that two distinct factors are used to authenticate a user’s identity, in a convenient, easy-to-use implementation. ID Vault is the market leader in this fast growing market segment.

Availability and Pricing
The IdeaPad notebooks and Netbooks with ID Vault pre-loaded will begin shipping in March, 2009, and will be available for purchase online at www.lenovo.com and at Lenovo retail channel partners store locations.
