Biotraits, Inc. Establishes Online Consumer Protection Division to Protect Families and Children, Fight Identity Theft and Guard Home Computers from Predators

ORLANDO, Fla. - BioTraits, Inc., the six-year old biometric technology firm that provides corporate and government agencies with state-of-the-art security and accounting systems that accurately recognize and verify unique human characteristics, has launched a Consumer Protection Division that will focus on preventing identity theft and protecting children from web-based predators.

Peter A. Wengert, founder and chief executive officer of BioTraits, said the new division will develop and market Family ID Guard and Kids Web Guard to families for use on home-based computers.

“We have worked with the world’s leading security companies to develop some of the most advanced security configurations on the market today,” said Wengert. “We are focusing some of that advanced technology on an area of critical concern to most Americans---protecting our identities and protecting our children,” he said.
