DigitalPersona's Technology Important Component of GTSI's New Physical
Security Alliance
WASHINGTON, FOSE, March 23 /PRNewswire/ -- DigitalPersona(R), Inc., the
leading provider of fingerprint authentication solutions, today announced that
GTSI(R) Corp. (Nasdaq: GTSI) is rolling out DigitalPersona's new Pro3.0
fingerprint identification technology throughout GTSI's organization. This
technology, which simplifies password management with the simple touch of a
finger, is expected to reduce the costs and risks associated with end-user
management of passwords.
[NOTE: For more details, see DigitalPersona's Pro 3.0 product
announcement, also released today.]
DigitalPersona Pro 3.0 provides total password automation in virtually any
network or application. It takes password management completely out of the
hands of end-users. Important new capabilities include One Touch SignOn and
password change management. One Touch SignOn simplifies gaining access to
password-protected networks, third-party software applications and Web sites.
The Password Randomization feature can automatically enter the current
password and randomly selects a new one; one that even the end-user does not
know. As a result, convenience and improved security are achieved.
"We chose DigitalPersona Pro3.0 because we were impressed by its
performance and the fact that it makes security management much easier for our
IT department," said Dendy Young, chairman and CEO of GTSI. "We also welcome
DigitalPersona as an integral part of the Physical Security Alliance. With
physical security top-of-mind throughout the government, reliable biometric
authentication is a critical component of any complete security solution."
DigitalPersona Pro 3.0 uses its award winning fingerprint identification
technology and proprietary software to ensure that only authorized individuals
have access to the applications and web services they are entitled. A simple
touch of a finger on a small fingerprint reader activates a server managed
process that provides positive identification. DigitalPersona Pro 3.0 supports
roaming which provides users the convenience of secure access to their data
from any computer on the network.
"GTSI serves public sector organizations, many of which have very
stringent security requirements," noted Fabio Righi, president and CEO of
DigitalPersona. "Pro 3.0 provides a powerful combination of high level of
security and convenience. It protects sensitive information and frees users
from dealing with complicated user name and password schemes that can be
confusing and easily compromised."
