Security threats are a nuisance, but for SMB's, the implementation of security processes and technologies can be costly, time-consuming user-unfriendly. Passwords are a pain to use and vulnerable to compromise. Users must invent non-intuitive letter-symbol-number combinations, and often write them down on sticky notes or in a spreadsheet.

UPEK's goal is to make security as simple as the swipe of a finger. The company's Eikon Digital Privacy Manager is a USB fingerprint reader that makes the user's fingerprint the authentication component for IT security. IT managers can lower costs associated with password resets, better protect access to customer data, and meet new and growing regulatory compliance requirements.

Unlike a password that can be disclosed to another person, only the registered fingerprint of an authorized user can access a UPEK-secured network, desktop or laptop computer. The company's award-winning fingerprint authentication solution are used by many of the world's largest brands in PC's, portable storage devices, mobile phones, access to control equipment, and more.
UPEK's unique technology allows users ang folders, and launch applications, all with just the swipe of a finger.
