BIO-key International, Inc. announced receiving a purchase order from a machine design, engineering and manufacturing firm. The organization has deployed BIO-key's EcoID fingerprint scanners and ID Director for Windows software to secure access to shared workstations used by their factory and office personnel. After suffering an internal security breach caused by employees sharing passwords, the customer reviewed their authentication process and moved to integrate a layer of biometric multifactor authentication for identity and network access management in order to eliminate existing password vulnerabilities. BIO-key fingerprint biometric solutions also provide faster and more user-friendly network access that eliminates delays and help desk support related to password management, updates and resets.
