Tuesday, May 27, 2008 in News

ZDNet.com is reporting that the Commonwealth Bank in Australia will be installing Cornerstone biometric access control systems throughout the country at its data centers. Cornerstone, supplied by Argus Solutions, uses iris scanning and fingerprint reading to control access to restricted areas.

The systems will be linked to existing infrastructures in Sydney and Melbourne. The bank will be able to manage access at these remote sites from a central location. CommBank is also looking at installing voice biometrics for its member’s phone banking services. [end]
