Biometrics Consulting

Data security should be a prime objective of any business that uses a computer. Our biometric security systems deny access to unauthorized users in order to make confidential information much more secure. Since the computer system is the heart of most organizations, it is paramount that your information is secure, remains intact, and is always available.

After all, your network houses everything, from financial records, marketing strategies, and sensitive client information, to confidential medical/financial records. How safe are those files from unauthorized people? Many employers are unaware of the fact that their own employees are 50 per cent more likely to violate their security than anyone else. Most users log onto their system with a password, the passwords are passé. They don't protect companies or their systems. According to Nucleus Research,  more than 1/3rd of computer users write down their passwords in case they forget them. Other research reflects that those who are prevented from writing it down often select simple, easy to guess passwords. Even among those who created complex passwords that they can remember, most do not log out of their systems when they leave their workstations, and their files are open to anyone who happens to walk past.

A biometric security system may be the your best solution to this important issue.

What is a Biometric Security System?

A biometric security system is a security device that is based on unique properties of the human body. This includes fingerprint, palm vein, and iris scanners and readers.

In addition to these, Certified CIO can also help develop a security plan that also includes non-biometric devices including RFID badges and data encryption systems.

What the Experts Say...

According to the Biometric Consortium, Biometric technologies are becoming the foundation of an extensive array of highly secure identification and personal verification solutions. As the level of security breaches and transaction fraud increases, the need for highly secure identification and personal verification technologies is becoming apparent. Biometric-based solutions are able to provide for confidential financial transactions and personal data privacy. The need for biometrics can be found in federal, state and local governments, in the military, and in commercial applications. Enterprise-wide network security infrastructures, government IDs, secure electronic banking, investing and other financial transactions, retail sales, law enforcement, and health and social services are already benefiting from these technologies.
