“The increasing adoption of SaaS applications has put IT departments into turmoil trying to manage multiple identity stores, access policies, security approaches, and audit trails. Intel’s cloud IAM solutions bring much-needed order to this chaos,” said Ho Chang, CEO of BioID, Inc. “Moreover, with more and more critical applications secured by a single master login, Intel is leading the industry by incorporating biometric cloud technology in the solutions, making their offerings unique and appealing. BioID’s user-friendly webcam-based recognition helps organizations ensure that the legitimate user is present.”
BioID’s technology secures the master login to the Intel SSO portal, and verifies the user’s presence whenever sensitive applications are launched or before the session is timed out. BioID currently supports highly accurate face recognition requiring only a standard webcam or mobile phone camera, with its patent-pending “live detection” that can tell if an attacker is attempting to authenticate using a photo.
“Intel’s Cloud SSO and McAfee Cloud Identity Manager solutions help give organizations much more than single sign-on to cloud applications; they provide a full suite of identity and access management tools for provisioning, strong authentication, de-provisioning and audit,” said Girish Juneja, director of Intel Application Security and Identity Products Group. “With BioID’s cloud-based biometric recognition, strong multi-factor authentication can be delivered just by looking at the camera, and without the expense and administrative overhead of additional hardware and software deployment.”<
