Travis Credit Union

Country:  USA
City:  Sacramento

Background

• Requirement to enhance internal logon security
• Search for a strong authentication solution to maintain the strict password administration policy on the Windows NT server domain without requiring users to remember password formats and changes
• Need for a quickly and easily implemented solution without adding an extra burden on network administrators and helpdesk staff

 

Scope

• Travis Credit Union is one of the 50 largest credit unions in the United States
• Design and implementation of an advanced network security solution based on fingerprint biometrics
• Identification of 300 employees to increase computer network security as well as streamline password control and maintenance

 

Implementation

• Installation of BioLink U-Match devices and Authentication Center (AC) version 4.5 software on local Windows 2000 clients
• AC software communication with an Authenteon Enterprise appliance server for central management and fingerprint identification functions

 

Outcome

• Increase of internal logon security
• Very positive feedback from biometric users
• Short term ROI due to the cost savings from no longer having to support lost and forgotten passwords
• Ways to leverage BioLink's suite of other complimentary products, such as the WebSDk and Authenteon Cluster Array
• Improved safety and convenience for both our employees and members
• Plans to prevent repeat fraud from check cashing and identity theft
