Acro, Inc. Receives Purchase Order for Explosive Detection Devices From Division of U.S. Army

CAESAREA, ISRAEL–(Marketwire – 04/06/10) – Acro, Inc. (OTC.BB:ACRI – News), a leading manufacturer of explosive detection solutions for the homeland security market and related sectors, today announced that the Company has received a purchase order for its ACRO-P.E.T., ACRO-N.E.T., ACRO-CH.E.T., and ACRO-U.E.T. explosive detection devices from a division of the U.S. Army.

“This order is very important for us because it continues our momentum in the United States and could further increase market adoption of our cutting-edge explosive detection solutions,” said Gadi Aner, CEO and Chairman of Acro, Inc.

The ACRO-P.E.T. is the first explosives identifier of its kind, effective against TATP and other Peroxide Based IEDs. It is light, easy to use and gives instant results, even when explosive quantities are small. The novel portable ‘micro-laboratory,’ ACRO-N.E.T., with its sensitive, simple, rapid, precise and reliable operation, revolutionizes the field task of police and other security agencies in the detection and identification of explosives. ACRO-CH.E.T. (Chlorate Explosives Tester) is light, easy to use and gives instant results, even when explosive quantities are small. ACRO-CH.E.T. has low false positive and negative alarm rates, is very sensitive, and can detect 10 micrograms of chlorate based explosives traces.

This initial purchase order will be used to determine the suitability of Acro’s explosive detection devices for certain U.S. Army units. The order is expected to ship within few weeks.

The contract is part of a larger $77 million commercial broadband contract Harris received in 2008. Awards under the five-year contract to date total $28.2 million.

ActivIdentity™ Corporation(NASDAQ:ACTI - News), a global leader in strong authentication and credential management, today announced that with the launch of its new version of ActivIdentity SecureLogin™ Single Sign-On 6.2 customers can take advantage of a packaged solution which combines market-leading password management capabilities with strong authentication.

Customers facing challenges with static passwords, such as rising help desk costs, have turned to Enterprise Single Sign-On products to implement password management and streamline help desk operations. But password management creates even greater vulnerabilities when a single sign-on system uses a static password that can be easily shared or written down. ActivIdentity is uniquely positioned to offer organizations a complete solution that combines strong authentication and password management.

By offering ActivIdentity SecureLogin Single Sign-On as combined solution with ActivIdentity 4TRESS™ Authentication products, ActivIdentity is supporting the natural progression to stronger forms of authentication by organizations. The solution also reflects a broader industry view on the importance of combining single sign-on and strong authentication. Gartner recently shared this view in the June 2009 report ‘Versatile Authentication Servers and Services’ by Ant Allan, research vice president, who states that, “Some ESSO vendors provide extensible support for open and proprietary authentication methods. Such an ESSO tool might be considered as ‘Versatile Authentication Server lite.’”

Customers purchasing ActivIdentity 4TRESS AAA Server for Remote Access or ActivIdentity 4TRESS Authentication Server can install ActivIdentity SecureLogin Single Sign-On at no additional license cost (1). The new version of ActivIdentity SecureLogin Single Sign-On includes an advanced wizard, automating the scripting of many applications, as well as support for Windows 7.

New Jersey is changing its pre-existing workflow process for driver’s license issuance to incorporate photo-first capabilities as part of the State’s effort to curb identity-related fraud.

Robert V. LaPenta, Chairman, President and CEO of L-1 Identity Solutions said, “New Jersey is a strategic win for L-1 and an important bellwether to the Nation as a State that is not just focused on the identity management concerns of its citizens today, but also on setting new standards that will ensure the most secure credential possible in the future. The performance our team has demonstrated to the State in supporting this endeavor, along with the confidence the customer places in our solutions, gives us great pride.”

The contract was awarded to L-1 as the result of a competitive process.
