December 13 2019 - 7:58AM
BIO-key International, Inc. (Nasdaq: BKYI), an innovative provider
of biometric identity, authentication and security solutions, today
announced that Florida’s Orange County Supervisor of Elections has
selected BIO-key to add a critical layer of biometric security to
protect access to public records with the strongest form of
authentication. Orange County, Florida’s fifth largest county, will
utilize BIO-key’s ID Director biometric software solution to secure
appropriate access to voter data and files.
Staff members will be enrolled using BIO-key’s PIV-Pro, a FIPS
compliant fingerprint scanner developed for government security
applications, and EcoID, BIO-key’s top-selling enterprise level
compact fingerprint scanner developed for enterprises. EcoID has
been tested and qualified by Microsoft to support the biometric
authentication within its Windows Hello for Business
application.
Election offices are comprised of a broad spectrum of full and
part-time employees and volunteers, often in shared workstation
environments. The influx of new staff members during election
cycles calls for a strong yet nimble authentication solution is
secure, efficient and adaptable in managing access to
mission-critical election data, while also providing a clear audit
trail of user access. BIO-key’s biometric security platform is
ideal for election applications because it is affordable, easy to
deploy and manage, and delivers the highest level of data security
to properly protect the integrity of elections.
“We are gratified by the growing adoption of our biometric
solutions among various County Supervisors of Elections, as they
take steps to secure their election systems for the coming
presidential election,” stated Mike DePasquale, Chairman and CEO,
BIO-key. “We have come to understand the unique use case for
Supervisors of Elections and have tailored solutions to meet their
needs. Our software is sold on a monthly subscription basis and
therefore provides needed flexibility to adapt to a changing
workforce. We have also developed high-quality, affordably-priced
fingerprint scanners to meet budgetary requirements. Now with five
successful Supervisor of Election deployments, we have forged an
election security program that truly is seamless, easy to launch,
and that we believe will become a model for other election
Supervisors in Florida and for election boards across the
country.”
