Body language: the new security

The critical information on a PC and your network is a simple password away from theft. Biometrics can provide an extra layer of security, particularly for the vulnerable laptop.

What barrier does your company have between a resourceful hacker with malicious intentions and the company's systems, applications, and databases? A password? A password that can be forgotten, guessed, or stolen? Good luck.

You can make your users change their passwords regularly and delete access privileges when an employee leaves the company, but password protection will never be fail-safe. Passwords are only as reliable as the people who have to remember and safeguard them.

Rather than putting your trust in something so potentially unpredictable, you can beef up your security using biometrics technology and rely instead on your users' fingers, faces, eyes, and voices.
