brings new
meaning
to secure

As hackers are discovering
new ways to master
their approach, payment
companies must step up
their security methods
when it comes to
consumer payments. HID
Global, Wirecard, and
Computop are seemingly
leading the way with the
introduction of innovative

ID Global, a worldwide leader
in trusted identity solutions,
has announced its new
fingerprint reader that merges credential
excellence with HID’s globally patented
multispectral imaging technology. fingerprint reader provides an unrivalled
experience by dramatically increasing
image capture performance and fingerprint
matching in under a second, significantly
reducing delays that were previously
symptomatic of biometric solutions.
In the past, biometrics solutions for
access control were often deployed
with reduced security thresholds
because their imaging technology,
which routinely yielded false
fingerprint rejections, resulted in long
authentication lines at the door. Stephen Carney, Vice President of Product
Marketing, Physical Access Control Solutions
with HID Global, said: “Driven by increasing
threats to an organisation’s security,
biometric authentication is one of the
fastest growing segments in the access
control market.
The solution from HID Global aims
to address this issue and fuel broad
adoption of biometrics at the door.

reliable Lumidigm multispectral technology
