ID VAULT's hardened Internet security technology protects consumers when they bank, shop and invest online.

CHANTILLY, Va. and SAN MATEO, Calif., Sept. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Intersections Inc. (Nasdaq: INTX), a leading global provider of consumer and corporate identity risk management services, has entered into a strategic commercial agreement with Guard ID Systems, Inc. Guard ID Systems is the developer of ID VAULT(R), an Internet security solution that protects consumers against online identity theft and fraud. In addition, Intersections has participated as a minority investor in a Series B-1 round of equity funding in Guard ID Systems.

The strategic commercial agreement allows Intersections to include ID Vault products and services as part of its Identity Guard(R) Total Protection flagship product.

ID VAULT is an Internet security service designed specifically to prevent online identity theft and fraud. The ID Vault service monitors a "white list" of more than 8,000 financial and shopping sites, and verifies the IP addresses and sign-in protocols of these sites in order to protect consumers from signing in to fraudulent imposter sites designed to steal online identities. The tamper-proof ID Vault smart card-based USB device provides secure, portable storage of usernames and passwords. ID Vault automatically signs consumers into their online accounts without typing, so they're protected against keystroke loggers and other spyware.

"Our partnership with Guard ID Systems will enable us to provide consumers with leading edge technology that will revolutionize the way they transact online," said Michael Stanfield, chief executive officer for Intersections. "The ID Vault service complements our existing suite of identity theft services, and will be featured with our flagship product, Identity Guard Total Protection. In addition to protecting their personal data, credit data and computers, with ID Vault, consumers will also be protected against online identity theft and fraud when transacting online."

"People are banking and shopping online in record numbers," according to David Watkins, chief executive officer of Guard ID Systems, Inc. "This trend has spawned a new breed of cyber criminals who use increasingly sophisticated techniques aimed at compromising online identities in order to commit financial fraud. Our partnership with Intersections will allow us to broaden the distribution of ID Vault to reach millions of consumers looking for a complete identity theft protection solution that protects identities online, as well as offline."
