 "Fujitsu To Offer PalmSecure LOGONDIRECTOR Enterprise Edition")
Fujitsu Computer Products of America, a supplier of innovative computer products including hard disk drives, peripherals and biometric security solutions, has announced the availability of the PalmSecure LOGONDIRECTOR Enterprise Edition.
The fully scalable, centrally administered identity management solution integrates the Fujitsu PalmSecure palm vein authentication technology embedded into a PC mouse with software that seamlessly integrates with single sign-on (SSO) solutions.
By combining non-intrusive biometric capabilities with SSO connectivity, LOGONDIRECTOR Enterprise Edition provides organisations across all industries with a multi-layered user authentication solution that enhances security and supports compliance with HIPAA, SOX, PCI DSS and other regulations.
“Relying on end-users to remember multiple passwords and other login credentials creates added administrative costs and presents significant security challenges, especially for IT managers at large, global organisations,” said Joel Hagberg, vice president, marketing and business development, Fujitsu Computer Products of America. “PalmSecure LOGONDIRECTOR Enterprise Edition addresses these concerns by eliminating the need for users to remember passwords, providing businesses with a more cost-effective form of authentication to support various compliances and government regulations.”
PalmSecure LOGONDIRECTOR Enterprise Edition is centrally administered, allowing IT managers to seamlessly standardise security policies across the entire organisation while also reducing implementation and training costs. PalmSecure LOGONDIRECTOR Enterprise Edition integrates with Active Directory and to be released databases, enabling scalability and allowing users’ palm vein templates to be stored on existing servers. In large enterprise environment settings, this single repository is especially beneficial because users can log into the network from any laptop or PC without bringing their passwords with them, reducing the threat of lost laptops and other security concerns associated with employee travel.
“The Fujitsu PalmSecure LOGONDIRECTOR Enterprise Edition is a strong authentication technology that integrates seamlessly with the Password Manager feature of Citrix XenApp, providing large, global organisations with an easy-to-use, cost-effective solution that bolsters security and compliance efforts,” said John Bryan, director, business development, Citrix Systems. “LOGONDIRECTOR Enterprise Edition enhances XenApp, and by verifying it as Citrix Ready, we are providing our customers with a complete identity and access management solution to help them meet their IT security and compliance needs.”
