Molding & Tool Manufacturer Deploys BIO-key Fingerprint Biometric Authentication Solutions to Secure Factory and Administrat...
January 31 2018 - 8:01AM
BIO-key International, Inc. (NASDAQ:BKYI), an innovative provider
of enterprise biometric software and hardware systems and consumer
products offering strong and convenient security and user access,
today announced that the trend of manufacturers deploying BIO-key
solutions continues. A Midwest molding and tool manufacturer
is implementing BIO-key’s ID Director for Windows software to add a
biometric authentication layer to Microsoft Active Directory, the
company’s network access protocol. The Company is also deploying
EcoID, BIO-key’s compact fingerprint scanner for Microsoft Windows
Enterprise customers, to provide biometric authentication on
individual and shared workstations.
BIO-key is seeing growing appreciation of the value of biometric
authentication for manufacturing companies trying to address the
security vulnerability of passwords as well as the administrative
headaches and bottlenecks they can cause in factory workflow.
Short-cuts, sharing, forgetting and casual storage of protected
passwords, creates the potential for security breaches and
workflow interruptions. While increased enforcement of complex
passwords and regular password resets have improved security, this
approach has frequently proven disruptive to operations and
productivity.
Barbara Rivera, COO, BIO-key, “It should not surprise anyone
that a solution developed decades ago, for an entirely different
use case and environment, is neither effective nor relevant for
security today. Our recent deployments in the manufacturing sector
demonstrate that the security, ease of use and attractive cost of
ownership of our biometric solutions are being recognized in
mainstream America. We are actively working to highlight our
growing base of biometric deployments to further stimulate
additional demand from manufacturers as well as other enterprises
facing similar challenges.”
