Security at our Fingertips

Hello everyone
I trust everyone had a wonderful weekend. Unfortunately I'm home with suffering from the bug. The weather changes so much I don't know what to wear. I guess I need to put on a coat whenever I go out.

Security has been a concern for many companies. Did you know passwords were costly? It cost companies a average of $150 per year/per employee on passwords. If companies decide to switch over from passwords and use the fingertip security the company would reduce its cost at 90%.

Fingerprint authentication assures only the user can gain access to networks and applications. Using biometric technologies logging on to your computer requires a quick, simple sliding of yiur fingers across a sensor to ensure secure access. The fingerprint security helps maintain security for PC users, a concern especially when confidential data had the potential to be accessed if it is not protected correctly. It restricts users other than those with registered biometrics for that device from accessing the PC, Internet, or files stores on that PC. It also eliminates the need for users to remember different passwords to gain access, saving time and enhancing the user experience.

I order a laptop about two weeks ago, I was so impressed with the feature. I was thrilled I had a way to keep my children off it. I know longer have to worry about them finding my passwords laying around my room. It is just a great feature.

I didnt know that it cost that much for passwords ($150). I guess it is better to do the fingerprints.
