Identity Management & Control-using fingerprints for identification purposes
The productivity lost in dealing with forgotten passwords and login names can be significant for any business that requires high levels of security. ProfitStars® has an excellent solution to that problem. Biometric technology relies on unique physical characteristics to authenticate users. ProfitStars’ Biodentify® Biometric Security uses fingerprints for identification purposes. Fingerprints are simply reduced to a mathematical template containing data unique to an individual and cannot be used to recreate an image or facsimile. All that and "no passwords" sound like an excellent solution!
Here is one example of how ProfitStars has partnered with a client to help them improve internal security:
One progressive credit union has chosen to break out of the outdated password paradigm and move into the 21st century with the latest fingerprint biometric technology from an industry leader: ProfitStars.
“Our employees love the Biodentify system because it saves them time and effort and it is far easier to use than trying to remember five to 10 different passwords.” Re-setting users’ forgotten passwords costs IT departments an average of $25 per call. With high costs like this, this credit union should enjoy a fast ROI now that their biometric system is in place at all desktops.
In many people’s minds, biometric technologies are the very essence of high-tech security, and everyone knows that no super secret headquarters worth its salt is without its share of biometric devices. But biometrics has extended its reach - it’s not just for government agencies and large corporations anymore. The bottom line is that biometrics improves ease of use and reduces user support costs while securing networks against all but the most formidable attackers. "I wouldn’t hesitate recommending the Biodentify system to anyone, says the CIO at this credit union.”
