Biometric Enterprise Authentication
Overview
Passwords were introduced in the 1960s to provide protection for the information stored in computers. They are still the most prevalent method of authentication even though they represent the weakest link in the security chain. In response to the growing risk to information security, organizations continually develop more complex password schemes and implement stringent policies to enforce them. However, despite these efforts, unauthorized users are still finding ways around passwords and policies and into computers and networks.
This whitepaper addresses the problems and costs associated with passwords in today’s organizations. It also describes how fingerprint biometric technology can be an effective solution for improving security by eliminating the vulnerabilities and costs of password based security.
