For retailers & distributors, AuthenTec and Dolphin will demo at CeBIT a solution to safeguard family digital life: for parents (protecting access to personal and financial online info) and for children (protecting their social time and playtime online).
With all the security you need these days, no one at home or work finds managing password security easy. At CeBIT, AuthenTec will present a security solution that is literally at your fingertips for family or business: Eikon® Digital Privacy Manager that includes their USB fingerprint reader bundled with TrueSuite Identity Management Software.
Your customers can swipe their finger to allow Eikon to log on to Windows. Or they can quick launch their protected web accounts (like webmail. Facebook, Twitter), their favourite websites, and log on to their online bank accounts—again by a swipe of a finger. They can also swipe to lock and unlock their protected PC files, folders or apps.
AuthenTec’s main goal for participating in CeBIT is to find European retailers and distributors who understand their customers would prefer to make their digital lives easier. This is the next big wave in consumer security software after the growth in anti-virus software: sooner or later most families will recognize the need to protect their kids while online, like they recognize they need to protect their PCs from the bad folks online.
That’s why AuthenTec, who has grown their business by building fingerprint security into PCs for PC makers, expects an aggressive market for their new retail solution, a hardware/software bundle-in-a-box.
Already in the German market with a family solution, AuthenTec works with Dolphin Digital Media who bundles a retail package that combines parental internet controls (Dolphin Secure) to monitor and guide a child's online experience with AuthenTec’s state-of-the-art fingerprint identification technology.
Dolphin Secure lets children surf the Internet through pre-approved websites that can be customized by parents on a per-child basis. Parents will also be able to select who their child can chat with online, the signature tool of Dolphin Secure that protects against the twin threats of cyber-bullying and sexual predators.
Dolphin Secure includes AuthenTec’s award-winning Eikon fingerprint reader which easily connects to a PC or Mac via USB port.
