Cecelia Slattery, President & CEO, will detail today at a press conference, the core technology behind the anti-virus and data isolator components of "Stop-It's" unique security products. Ms. Slattery knows her "Stop-It"(R) technology represents a revolutionary and innovative solution for isolating personal computers and networks from viruses. The technology is an application of electronics, pre-modem, creating an optical air-gap that regulates access to computers. "Stop-It's" initial products will contain a bi-directional optical interface, delivered on a single enhancement card. RVT Technologies, Inc. is the first to introduce a hardware delivery system, which will contain embedded anti-virus libraries and also encryption components.
