BIO-key biometric tech secures online access to critical information for Singapore police

 

BIO-key announced today that the Singapore Police Force has deployed BIO-key biometric hardware and software solutions to enhance security and secure online access to critical information.

BIO-key’s ID Director for Windows integrates directly with Active Directory, the organization’s credential management program, adding a layer of biometric authentication. Users enroll their fingerprints into the platform using EcoID, a compact fingerprint scanner that’s been tested and qualified by Microsoft.

“It’s an honor to have BIO-key hardware and software recognized by a prominent international law enforcement agency as they understand the value of strong security,” commented Mike DePasquale, chairman and CEO, BIO-key. “Projects like this, with highly visible customers around the globe demonstrate the strength of the BIO-key brand and the growing adoption of our technology. We look forward to supporting the Singapore Police Force’s efforts as they expand the use of our technology to their 38,500 members to increase security and protect the organization and citizens.”

Just last month a global security and aerospace company purchased and deployed BIO-key’s fingerprint reader solution to support the company’s roll out of Microsoft Windows 10 and Windows Hello for Business.
