Intensity Analytics Launches CVMetrics to Verify the Knowledge Worker

Online, April 12, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Intensity Analytics Corporation has launched CVMetrics™, a new service aimed at helping employers address the challenge of precisely who, by name, is using what computer when.

CVMetrics is offered on a standalone basis, and also integrated seamlessly with the company's work receipting platform, www.workreceipt.com, which launched earlier this year.
Passwords aren't enough, in this WikiLeaks era.

Guarding passwords and changing them frequently are standard, best practice recommendations. Still, they get out, which means someone other than the intended user can access a computer, and all its data.

CVMetrics knows you by the way you type; it continuously tracks what we call Keyboard Cadence. Once the lite app is installed on a Windows computer, it tracks the pattern of keystrokes (in every application) via a sophisticated, patent-pending statistical matrix, which is completely unique to each individual. Said another way, the manner in which one keyboard-strokes is distinct, like a fingerprint.

And pairing CVMetrics (who you are) with WorkReceipt (what you do) gives a complete, automatic record of knowledge work, over the day/week/month. In order to connect the dots, you have to collect the dots - these offerings do that effort-free.
Intensity Analytics' companion www.workreceipt.com service is based on the everyday, retail practice of providing a customer with a purchase receipt showing the details of a transaction.

A WorkReceipt™ is a record of computing effort expended over the course of a day, automatically collected, monitored and validated by a neutral, third party observer to the transaction, delivered via the web to both the employee and the employer. With a WorkReceipt, both parties can be confident that the record is accurate and authentic. And CVMetrics adds the verification of indeed just who is using the computer.

"We've had a very positive reaction to our WorkReceipt.com platform, especially given the rise in telework," said Bethann Rome, co-founder of Intensity. "But companies and government organizations alike have been asking us about verification- how to know that a given knowledge worker is indeed the one doing the computing on a given PC or laptop. Thus, we invented CVMetrics, which can stand alone or harmonize with WorkReceipt.com, such that based on the user's unique keystroking cadence, we can authenticate precisely who he or she is per unit time."

On December 9, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Telework Enhancement Act (H.R. 1722), aimed at increasing telework in the federal government, with an implementation date of June 7, 2011. Across the U.S. workforce, about 25% of computer work is done remotely, according to Forrester Research.

Both WorkReceipt.com and CVMetrics are available as a Software-as-a-Service, whereby the data is stored in the cloud. Alternatively, the data can be stored on customer premises. The underlying technologies are also available separately.
