DigitalPersona Identity Security Solutions

Centrally managed identity security solutions for enterprises

Identity forms the foundation of all enterprise security models and most regulatory compliance frameworks build policies around a specific user's identity and organizational role. DigitalPersona addresses the fundamental requirement of ascertaining the identity of the user, and along with that, the role and level of access privileges. It does this by using fingerprint technology, which is based on a physical characteristic of who you are, not what you know. With this approach, DigitalPersona Pro provides the utmost in knowing FOR CERTAIN any individual's identity. Common IT problems such as password resets, loss of security tokens, and workstation lockouts are eliminated. Furthermore, because end-users embrace the approach, adoption is rapid and painless.

DigitalPersona's products deploy quickly in existing environments, leveraging existing fingerprint readers in laptops and supporting cost-effective external readers. With DigitalPersona's central-management capabilities and integration with Active Directory, new applications, new users and new policies can be added over time without significant IT overhead.

DigitalPersona's fingerprint technology provides unique breakthroughs in critical solutions for enterprises:

Identity Security Control	Definition	The Fingerprint Advantage
Strong Passwords »	Difficult to detect by both people and software, passwords must consist of at least six characters incorporating a combination of letters, numbers and symbols.	Users no longer have to care how complicated passwords are or how often they're changed.
Secure Communications »	Encrypt and digitally sign instant messages, email and electronic documents, protect data in motion and workflow transactions.	Users can digitally sign and encrypt instant messages, email, and Office documents with the touch of a finger in place of entering a password.
Multi-factor Authentication »	Irrefutably link individuals to log-on by requiring "something you have" and "something you know".	User fingerprints replace tokens, relieving IT of token distribution and management burdens.
Transaction Accountability »	Extend security by confirming identity in recurring purchases, trades or authorizations. Required for continuous compliance and fraud reduction.	IT and the business can sustain investment in security by paying for it with decreased IT burden and help desk calls, and increased employee productivity.
