Fujitsu unveils PalmSecure ID Login Solution
Fujitsu has launched PalmSecure ID Login solution that helps organizations secure their networks against unauthorized access. The solution integrates Fujitsu’s highly secure biometric palm vein authentication technology into corporate network environments using Microsoft Active Directory – helping boost IT security, while also making it easier for users to log on to their system without needing to remember complex passwords, which need to be changed on a regular basis. The Fujitsu PalmSecure technology works by capturing an infrared scan of oxygen-depleted blood veins within the palm of a hand. The technology combines the convenience of a contactless sensor with biometric security. For users, the system is more convenient and faster than typing a password – with identity verification usually completed within one second. There is, therefore, no need to change a password.
To log on to their PC, or authenticate for internal system access, PalmSecure ID Login users simply hover their hand over a contactless palm vein scanner – already built into a number of Fujitsu LIFEBOOK notebooks and STYLISTIC 2-in-1 tablets, and available as a standalone USB pluggable device. Enrolled users can log in from any device within a corporate network, since PalmSecure ID Login is connected to Microsoft Active Directory, which centrally manages and stores all access data, including biometrics.
Thomas Bengs, Director and Head of Biometrics, Fujitsu in EMEIA, says, "Passwords are forgotten, lost and get stolen, which makes them a serious vulnerability in any organization’s security arrangements. Replacing password logins with palm vein biometric authentication technology reduces the risk of misuse from stolen or unsecured passwords, including the worst-case scenarios of catastrophic hacker attacks, identity fraud and large scale data theft. It’s also impossible to forget your credentials, since they’re in the palm of your hand – unlike a smart card, or a difficult to remember password.”
PalmSecure ID Login joins a growing portfolio of Fujitsu solutions incorporating palm vein technology – alongside PalmSecure ID Match, a two-factor authentication system which combines palm vein technology with ID cards and badges – and PalmSecure ID Access, which adds biometric authentication to existing physical security systems.
Fujitsu PalmSecure ID Login is available to order across EMEIA from June 2017, with availability in Oceania and the Americas to follow. Fujitsu PalmSecure ID Login is sold directly from Fujitsu and through Fujitsu’s partners. Pricing varies according to geographical region.
