Consulting, recommendations and/or implementation of various methods of user authentication (passwords, biometrics - such as fingerprint or facial scanning, hardware tokens) used to verify that a particular user is authorized to access specific information or systems.

Determining that a user logging in to your computer network is really that user is critical. The CFO usually can access more information than a data entry clerk. The MIS director has total control of the system, so it is important that somebody else not be able to imitate that person.

There are old and new technologies to verify the authenticity of a computer user. Passwords and access cards (like an ATM card) have been around for a while. New methods, such as fingerprint readers, facial scanning and computerized hardware tokens are much newer technologies and are the best solution in many instances.

Digital Security is able to assess your company’s needs and make the best recommendation for user authentication. We are constantly updating our knowledge of what methods and products are available on the market, their cost and ease of implementation.
