Security, Efficiency and Convenience
Biometric is the use of automated methods of recognizing an individual based on physical or behavioral characteristics. Common commercial examples are fingerprint, face, iris, hand geometry, voice, keystroke and signature dynamic recognition.
Biometric is the fastest and most efficient and secure way to manage and verify identity. This ensures that the person accessing the information is the actual person. With a typical username and login screen, anyone can learn the username and password, causing a security risk. Many organizations are finding that password-based user authentication is neither secure nor inexpensive. FOQUEST provides Advanced Biometric Solutions such as Fingerprint, Iris, Facial and Signature Recognition, as well as Proximity Card technology solutions for fast, reliable and secure access to the entire network, applications, web and e-mail via secure workstations.
