Why Biometrics?

Biometrics eliminates the problems associated with text-based passwords by identifying human characteristics such as voiceprint, fingerprint, iris pattern and facial contours, which are virtually impossible to duplicate. Biometrics makes it more convenient for end users to access their computer accounts, while maintaining a secure method of user authentication.

Need Single Sign-On?

Do you need to integrate your biometric and or Smart Card security solutions with a number of client-server applications? Single Sign-on (SSO) extends the simplicity of biometrics to the application level.

Benefits of Biometrics and Smart Cards

• Convenience – nothing to forget or lose, nothing to be shared or stolen
• Efficiency – faster and easier log on improves user experience and productivity
• Security – strong authentication enhances logon and application security
• ROI – significant savings on helpdesk costs for password resets
• Compliance – helps to meet legislation and regulations, e.g. HIPAA, FDA, GLBA and Sarbanes-Oxley for user identification, non- repudiation and auditing.

Hightlights:

• A Practice Utility which allows users to practice biometric enrollment and verification prior to activating biometric security.
• A screensaver feature which allows users to utilize biometric security in place of passwords. The policy can be set for smart card to lock or log-off the user.
