TrustDefender Meets with Global Finance Industry Leaders in New York and London Sponsored by Austrade

Sydney, Australia (PRWEB) July 20, 2007 -- Recently returned from an Australian Government sponsored financial services technology trade mission to the USA and UK, Australian company TrustDefender has identified significant opportunities in the world's leading financial sectors of New York and London.

Corporations and financial institutions in New York and London are struggling to meet the wide range of corporate governance and compliance guidelines that are placed upon them by regulatory authorities and governments, such as Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorism Financing (KYC) legislation, Sarbanes Oxley, Basel II and FFIEC guidelines.

"This is a very significant worldwide issue and one that is exacerbated by the rapidly growing instances of online crime. There is a very real and urgent need for stronger security techniques that extend to mobile computing devices in order to reduce online fraud and to restore customer confidence in online transactions," commented TrustDefender CEO, Ted Egan.

Handpicked by the Australian trade commission (Austrade) as one of the seven most innovative Australian financial service technology companies suitable to showcase in the two largest financial service centres in the world -- New York and London -- TrustDefender was able to gain a firsthand insight into the growth trends in the banking, brokerage and securities industries.

There are currently some 8000-plus banks and largely independent broking houses in the USA market alone. TrustDefender's ability to help these organisations meet corporate governance, compliance and regulative requirements such as FFIEC and AML/CTF was recognised as being a key component was recognised as being a key feature that will be increasingly demanded by financial institutions worldwide

Similarly, online fraud is a huge issue in the UK market. Between January and June of this year over 5000 cases of online fraud were reported in the UK, compared to just 312 recorded in the first 6 months of 2005.

During the mission, TrustDefender demonstrated 'live' how financial institutions that deploy TrustDefender are able to extend security out to the customer and the device that the customer is using, thereby securing their transactions and protecting their private and confidential information before they input a password, ID, token or text message code. Similarly demonstrating to financial institutions the ability that TrustDefender provides them with to achieve greater audit and reporting capabilities that meet regulatory requirements.

"Not only did our involvement in the Australian trade mission enable us to validate and align our positioning for these overseas markets, but we were also able to engage with leading systems integrators and thought leaders. We have since been invited to contribute to the financial services technology consortium which will enable us to stay at the forefront of the industry," Mr Egan commented.

"The Australian trade office Austrade was invaluable, both for the doors that it opened and the opportunities that it presented. We cannot say enough of the assistance and encouragement we received by all at Austrade which has resulted in a number of follow up projects for us, both in the US and UK," he concluded.
