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
