MMG taps DigitalPersona for logical access control

Thursday, April 1, 2010

DigitalPersona, a developer of biometric solutions, has announced insurance company MMG Insurance has chosen them to roll-out biometric logical access control to their headquarters and various regional offices. The solution, DigitalPersona Pro, utilizes fingerprint sensor for a single sing-on solution.

MMG expects the solution to save their employees large amounts of time as their previous system which operated off of user names and passwords, required 10-minute password protected screensavers and often saw employees logged into multiple systems at once. The solution from DigitalPersona is expected to not only save time, but money as well due to removing the need for IT personnel at MMG to reset forgotten or compromised passwords. [end]
