The DigitalPersona Pro fingerprint identity solution enables deployment of strong passwords, secure communications, multi-factor authentication and transaction accountability for enterprises. With fingerprint readers becoming commonplace on enterprise notebooks, fingerprints can be used as the gatekeeper for access to enterprise data, applications and networks. A fingerprint solves security problems, such as social engineering attacks, which other credentials like passwords or tokens cannot. However, to realize such benefit, it cannot be left to each and every user to discover and configure fingerprint software and settings on their own. Security policies need to be centralized. A client-only solution for personal data protection is not enough if you need to protect enterprise data. IT managers in large and small companies alike need tools to enforce and audit authentication policies across the entire network and all applications. Only through implementation of a consistent policy can one lower training and support costs, maintain high security, and provide audit logs to prove compliance.
DigitalPersona Pro for Active Directory is designed from the ground up as an enterprise client/server solution, focused on the needs of the IT manager and business stakeholders. Pro integrates seamlessly into the enterprise Active Directory infrastructure to automate processes and controls for managing group policies for users and applications, and to ensure adherence to strong IT policies for compliance and auditing needs. Fingerprint authentication can easily be added without modifying applications and reduces helpdesk burdens associated with provisioning and supporting forgotten passwords. Strong authentication policies can now be quickly and easily deployed with a single consistent identity protection system that aligns user privieges with business security needs.
PRO COMPONENTS
The DigitalPersona Pro is designed to be modular and extensible, supporting a wide range of applications, fingerprint readers, and an SDK for custom environments. The fingerprint readers can be built-into notebooks or can be peripheral devices attached to desktops.
The core components of DigitalPersona Pro include:
- Pro Server — centrally manages user authentication credentials with Active Directory for network and application access
- Pro Workstation — installed on desktops and laptops for individual authentication using credentials stored locally or on the server, as needed.
- Pro Kiosk — designed for secure use of shared accounts on multi-user workstations and enables fast switching among workers in hospitals, retail stores or factories.
- Pro SDK — extends Pro solutions to custom back-office applications and front office systems. Developers can fingerprint enable access to their applications by leveraging DigitalPersona Pro security, credential management in Active Directory, user interface and deployment tools.
Add-on Module:
- Privacy Manager Pro — an optional add-on application that enables digital signing and encryption of instant messaging, Microsoft Outlook email, and Microsoft Office documents for secure communications and workflow. Privacy Manager Pro ensures only the right individuals have access to sensitive data both in motion and at rest.
