Press Release Summary: BioLink announces the first Banking Security Day in
Kazakhstan, to be held collectively with its partner "Ditis". The event is expected
to attract top managers of the leading banks and other financial institutions of the
Republic of Kazakhstan, IT-security people and HR-staff. The Banking Security Day
will take place on November 15, 2007, in Almaty, Ambassador Hotel Almaty.

Press Release Body: Those attending the Banking Security Day will be offered
integrated solutions implementing the key requirements imposed on banking business
processes, such as processing highly sensitive data, data protection against
unauthorized access, physical access control for bank employees and clients, and
time and attendance tracking. The Banking Security Day is divided into two business
sessions, the one dwelling on theory and the other one devoted to the best practices
of applying biometrics in banking applications, accompanied by BioLink project
references.

One of the major identification issues to tackle is about protecting corporate
banking data. Such corporate security challenges are addressed by BioLink IDenium
providing for fast, reliable and convenient user identification by fingerprints.

Banks are also concerned about securing physical access to areas and facilities.
Safe flow of employees and visitors, access control for storage areas, server rooms,
deposit boxes, schedules and operation modes for the banking personnel, integration
of time management and access control features - all these tasks are easily handled
by BioTime, a biometric time management and access control system. Throughout the
Banking Security Day this cutting-edge solution will be operating in real-time mode
making it possible for visitors to try this user-friendly and convenient system
themselves. To capture fingerprint images, BioLink U-Match scanners will be included
into the exposition.

Another system to be discussed is BioLink AMIS, an automated multi-biometric
information system intended for nationwide governmental programs and commercial
applications. Among the most prominent applications of AMIS are the following:
non-repudiatable confirmation of sensitive banking transactions, reliable
identification of loan and insurance applicants, biometric ATMs, and many more.

Piotr Pertsov, Director of Business Development of BioLink, notes: "Kazakhstan,
being the most active promoter of biometric identification technologies among
CIS-countries, is not an accidental location of the Banking Security Day. Suffice it
to mention the largest biometric identification project implemented by Halyk Bank of
Kazakhstan (9,000 users) and a biometric identification system deployed in a
subsidiary of Sberbank of Russia used to confirm transactions related to managing
banking accounts. We're sure the Banking Security Day will significantly boost the
spread of biometrics in the financial sphere of Kazakhstan always known for its
innovation and openness to efficient and mature technologies and solutions".
