Most organizations face increasing pressure to secure access to their network and applications. Password-based authentication remains the weakest link in the security chain and a huge burden for end users and IT support staff. Adding fingerprint authentication produces measurable financial benefits and a rapid return-on-investment (ROI) by removing the need for users to remember and use passwords. Businesses don't have to worry about resetting passwords or fielding support calls for lost or forgotten passwords. The results are clear: increased security, increased employee uptime and reduced help desk and support costs.

DigitalPersona U.are.U Pro enables companies to increase the security of their desktops, network and applications with a convenient fingerprint authentication system. It eliminates the burdens and security problems of password-based authentication, using advanced fingerprint recognition technology to heighten security and replace passwords.
