Featured Perspective:

 

Government Segment Manager, Frank Biscardi, discusses how fingerprint biometrics and encryption technologies can deliver vastly improved security procedures for the remote use of mobile data devices containing sensitive government data.

 

”Benefits of biometric security and encryption of government data on these mobile devices are far reaching and integral to the government’s everyday operation. The compromise of government databases, sensitive information and secure data communication technology poses a realistic threat to national security. Highly mobile data is inherently susceptible to loss and or theft, yet data portability is a reality and a necessary part of its everyday operations. Securing these assets is of critical importance.”
