BIOMETRIC READERS: Multi-factor Solutions for Enterprise Environments
Eric Gregg • September 25, 2018

As the demand for multi-factor authentication (MFA) solutions increases in enterprise environments, more companies are seeking programs that incorporate biometrics as one of the security components. Tx Systems, Inc., one of the leading distributors for both multi-factor authentication (MFA) solutions and desktop biometric readers , has a deep understanding of how these two technologies interplay with one another. Here are a few emerging brands:

The Lumidigm brand is one of the most powerful biometric readers on the market. With the ability to capture subdermal images and monitor blood flow through the fingerprint image, the Lumidigm brand ensures the most reliable live capture image possible.

SecuGen

SecuGen is one of the most trusted and cost-effective biometric reader brands available today. The DoD, DHS, NASA, as well as many other federal agencies have discovered that the SecuGen reader is a great option for capturing fingerprint images for a wide range of security applications. SecuGen is also a great option for integration projects, where a biometric sensor is required as a hardware component of another application such as door access readers or vending machines.

Identos Tactivo

The Identos Tactivo mini Smart Card Reader and fingerprint reader for the iPhone and iPad still lead the pack when it comes to usage by the federal government. However, the average government employee is not using the built-in Tactivo fingerprint sensor for these purposes. They are actually using them on top of another authentication solution. Did you know that you can program the Identos Tactivo to use your fingerprint as a second factor authentication method for enterprise security logon? Tx Systems has you covered with Identos Tactivo mobile readers with an Android-Compatible version along with an Optical Sensor version of the Tactivo product line. If you are using iOS then you are also covered with an iOS-Compatible version. All are wonderful at providing organizations a peace-of-mind when providing employees with corporate-issued smartphones and tablets.

For more information on how to purchase any of the biometric readers mentioned above or to work with one of their SDKs (software development kits) for developing your own software solution, feel free to reach out to us and describe your innovate idea!
