An innovative technique, designed by a psychologist in conjunction with an information-security expert, was recently introduced to help companies prevent their customers and employees from falling prey to phishing, pharming, identity theft, and online fraud.

Identity Cues offers major advantages over earlier anti-phishing offerings from usability, security, implementation, and maintenance standpoints. For example, there are no extra steps during the login process, and, even if people do not make a conscious effort to use the anti-phishing/anti-pharming system, the system can still be effective at protecting them. Users don't have to download/install any software, carry any security devices, register for any services, or memorize any extra secrets.
