Using Fingerprint Readers is a great way to enhance company security. They give you even more control, ensuring the right people are working in your company's computer network systems.
The Apple iPhone features the fingerprint reader, an excellent way to control access to your phone without having to enter in your password. Using a Fingerprint Reader is another strategy to significantly enhance your company's security.
Expect to see Fingerprint Readers, and even retina scanners, become more popular as a way to combat password theft.
Keep in mind that you still have a manual password that you are capable of entering, however, with the Fingerprint Reader and Retina Scanner, you’re able to have a more encrypted manual password because you only need it if you have a hardware glitch or a third-party needs access to the computer.
Companies should consider investments in Fingerprint Readers for their teams, and then keep a master password list elsewhere. This keeps employees from using their own “easy-to-remember” passwords that are often the same as the one they have at home, and likely contains personal information such as their birth date, a name of the street they live on, or their child's name.
The investment in a Fingerprint Reader for each connected device is a safety feature that will save the company a lot of money in time spent on lost password retrieval, protection from internal security breaches, and it even creates productivity logs, showing when the team member logs in to his/her computer. Not only that, it makes it easier to log employees out when they are away from their device.
Fingerprint Readers are readily available online, and are also available at computer stores around the country. It's a feature that is available on mobile phones and some tablets and laptops.
