Products and Services: Sekuworks sits on the cutting edge of global brand protection and anti-counterfeit solutions. Sekuworks authentication, verification, and track and trace systems are produced under a Class 1 Security Certification from the North American Security Products Organization (NASPO), the first company to achieve this status. Sekuworks is making a big push into apparel now, offering the StratOmark™ multi-level anti-counterfeit protection system that combines nicely with state-of-the-art information-gathering systems technology. It all begins with the “quick response,” or QR, codes. Sekuworks has applied the QR code as an interface to identify individual products, giving every unit of every product its own unique, randomized code. Marked in this way, each product can be individually tracked, through shipping, distribution, and sales. Consumers can verify the product is authentic; manufacturers can control their inventories, check warranties, and institute recalls; and marketers can adapt sales and marketing information to the individual consumer.
