Since we live in a world where every single bit of information is kept in a digital form companies have to come with new and easy to use security methods in order to lock data from prying eyes, Fujitsu just announcing the integration of its PalmSecure biometric authentication technology with the Oracle Enterprise Single Sign-On Suite.

What this basically means is that users no longer have to remember complex passwords or carry all sort of SmartCards around with them, the Fujitsu PalmSecure identifying users by their palm vein pattern, while the Oracle Enterprise Single Sign-On Suite gives them access to a wide range of the company's resources including desktops, client-server, custom, and host-based mainframe applications.

“Despite heightened awareness about security mandates, massive data breaches continue to impact organizations across all industries. As a result, we have seen continued growth in deploying biometric authentication to help companies bolster their identity and access management capabilities,” said Vic Herring, vice president of sales and marketing, Fujitsu Frontech North America.

“The integration of the PalmSecure technology and the Oracle Enterprise Single Sign-On Suite provides enterprises with a robust, cost-effective solution to enhance security while streamlining password management processes and increasing productivity.”

I am sure that a lot of employees working in large enterprises that use complex authentication methods will rejoice after hearing this news, although I am not sure how many companies will actually use this technology as part of their identity management solutions.
