Simplifies PC security with fingerprint scan log-in
IRVINE, Calif., June 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Businesses, remote workers and
consumers can now keep their individual PC data secure with biometric
authentication thanks to IOGEAR's Personal Security Mouse with Nano
Technology (GMEFP1W6).
As more than a third of employees write down or electronically record
their passwords(1), IOGEAR's new mouse eliminates lists and confusion by
requiring a fingerprint scan only to log-in to a computer. It is an ideal
solution for deskless workers and families that share computers, as the
mouse is able to store up to five identities, providing enhanced security
for multiple users on the same PC.
"Businesses and home users are often plagued with password overload,
forcing them to be stored in areas or on documents that are easily
accessible by others," said Miranda Su, vice president of sales and
marketing at IOGEAR. "We are aiming to simplify the personal security
process by providing PC users with a straightforward tool to keep their
computers and files protected."
Additional features include file / folder and hard-drive encryption, as
well as individual encrypted memory space that is accessible via
fingerprint authentication only. This provides users with an extra layer of
protection that is unable to be compromised. The Personal Security Mouse
also offers automatic and secure Web site login by storing user names and
passwords, which are also only available with the scan of a registered
fingerprint.
The product is the newest addition to IOGEAR's Nano family of computing
peripherals. The surface is covered with a Titanium Dioxide and Silver
nano-particle compound that contains antimicrobial properties to protect
the product from bacteria surviving on its surface, contributing to keeping
a clean work area.
The Personal Security Mouse with Nano Technology is priced at $89.95
(MSRP) and is available immediately from all major catalogue and online
resellers, as well as selected retail outlets. It includes a simple CD
installation and is compatible with Windows 2000, XP and above. It also
comes with IOGEAR's standard three-year warranty.
