Dovell Bonnett has been creating computer security solutions for over 20 years. His passionate belief that technology should work for humans, and not the other way around, has lead him to create innovative solutions that protect businesses from cyber-attacks, free individual computer users from cumbersome security policies, and put IT administrators back in control of their networks.

His premiere product, Power LogOn, is a multi-factor authentication enterprise password manager used by corporations, hospitals, educational institutions, police departments, government agencies, and more.

In addition to his involvement with Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and Elliptic Curve Cryptography, he has also held a Top Secret security clearance with the United States Navy while working on communications for nuclear submarines at GTE Systems.
