Information and Data Process Protection
There are an estimated 1 million biometric computers and peripherals on the market today.
Computer viruses, hacking, theft and fraud have left individuals, companies and government organizations struggling to protect their hardware, software -- and most importantly, their data -- from falling into the wrong hands. Securing computers and computer networks has grown into a multi-billion dollar industry, often involving multiple solutions that may require large staffs to implement.
Even passwords, once perceived as one of the simplest solutions, have proven to be cumbersome and prone to theft or fraud. Individuals are forced to remember an average of 30 passwords, and companies often spend from 25 to 100 dollars annually per employee to resolve password problems.
Fingerprint biometrics has emerged as the most viable method to protect critical computer information and help enable secure online services and other Internet applications.
These devices lock out intruders providing the most convenient means of protecting the valuable personal or business information.
Fingerprint biometrically enabled computers and peripherals also authenticate users, providing an extra layer of protection for online banking, shopping and other Internet services.
These same devices can be used to personalize computers like never before enabling companies to restrict access to certain applications to specific people, or parents to control the Web sites that their children have access to.
