BlueStar Energy Solutions has announced it has chosen biometrics developer DigitalPersona for a logical access control solution. The solution chosen, DigitalPersona Pro, is intended to both increase data protection and improve employee productivity with a resulting authentication method involving both fingerprint and password authentication.
In addition to needing to improve its security and operations, the solution provided a chance to get away from a costly smart card system that was proving too expensive and too time consuming to support as the company grew.
Under the new system, employees use fingerprint scanners to access sensitive files or applications while their security clearance as well as any other security management can be performed remotely through Microsoft Active Directory.
