ZKTeco USA Announces Partnership with V-Authenticate

FAIRFIELD, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- ZKTeco USA, a leading provider of biometric and RFID security solutions, is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with V-Authenticate, an independently owned software developer primarily known for their next-generation visitor management software called VAMS (Visitor Authentication and Management System).

ZK VAMS is currently implemented in over 1,000 locations representing over 350 customers located in 13 countries across the world. VAMS is used by many Fortune 500 companies representing several vertical markets including commercial & residential property management, banking, consumer product manufacturing, logistics, healthcare and education, to name a few.

VAMS software uniquely incorporates visitor AUTHENTICATION. Whereas traditional visitor management solutions allow the visitors to display any ID credential they chose (i.e. driver's license, passport, etc.), VAMS requires the visitor to prove their identity by displaying on their phone a QR code or an OTP (One Time Password) sent from the visitor's "host" via text message or e-mail. VAMS prevents imposters and unauthorized users from gaining fraudulent access to a facility.

As noted by ZKTeco USA President & Founder Manish Dalal, "While we see incredible increases in security product expenditures, it concerns me greatly also seeing customers neglect their visitor management strategy. Regardless how much time and money you spend fortify your building, your investment is wasted if you cannot safely and efficiently inspect and track visitors. We've adopted the VAMS software to address this important void in the market."

V-Authenticate CEO Nikhil Kothary added "We've seen tremendous adoption of our VAMS software by end-users. By partnering with ZKTeco, we additionally gain access to the thousands of physical & logical security installers currently partnering with ZKTeco. VAMS is very affordable and I'm confident will do well in ZKTeco's sales channel."

SecuGen Unveils Unity Biometric Development Platform

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Dec. 7, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- SecuGen, a world leading optical fingerprint device and technology vendor, is pleased to announce Unity(TM) BDP, a new platform for the development of a wide array of fingerprint enabled biometric products.

More than ever before, hardware device manufacturers must consider whether biometric security is appropriate for their products. SecuGen has now made it very easy to embed sophisticated fingerprint technology into a wide variety of hardware products with its new Unity Biometric Development Platform.

The Unity BDP offers device manufacturers a flexible, expandable, and easy to use environment that provides a simplified way to embed fingerprint capability into a very wide range of products such as access control devices, time & attendance machines, civil ID handheld devices, ATMs, industrial equipment, point of sale equipment, and much, much more.

With an integrated Linux development environment and embedded biometric fingerprint registration and matching functions, Unity BDP delivers efficiency of development in one small but powerful package.

The Unity BDP includes a FAP 20 certified optical fingerprint sensor, an open Linux system running on a 1 GHz CPU, and a modular design that easily accommodates a wide array of expansion boards. Future expansion boards may include Ethernet, Bluetooth capability, and battery logic for mobile devices. The boards may also provide a wide array of interfaces such as for LED/LCD displays, keypads, RS-232, and USB connectivity. Unity BDP includes an API that gives developers access to SecuGen's NIST certified template extraction and matching algorithms.

Using Unity BDP, many developers will find that there is no longer a need for a separate controller board since Unity BDP comes with a fast processor, open Linux, and the ability to add various interfaces and logic via expansion boards. This makes Unity BDP an ultra-compact, enormously capable, and affordable biometric platform that features SecuGen's renowned high quality optical fingerprint sensor.

"Unity BDP is the world's first biometric development platform as far as we can tell," stated Jeff Brown, VP of Sales and Marketing for SecuGen. "Our team has been able to go far beyond delivering a simple fingerprint sensor. Unity BDP includes a comprehensive set of tools that allow developers to create fingerprint enabled products quickly and efficiently. This product is revolutionary."

VP of Engineering Dan Riley added, "The SecuGen engineering team has come up with a new approach to delivering world class OEM sensors. Unity BDP is not just a sensor, it is an entire development platform that is both software and hardware expandable. The uses for this product are nearly limitless, and it represents a quantum leap in OEM fingerprint technology."

Won Lee, CEO of SecuGen, said, "For many years we have focused exclusively on delivering to our OEM partners the tools they need to compete successfully in this highly competitive industry. Unity BDP is the culmination of a decade of effort. We are very proud to be able to deliver the first product of its kind, a complete biometric development platform that is compact and amazingly affordable."

The first products of the Unity product family will be released beginning in the first quarter of 2016. SecuGen will be showcasing these products at CES 2016 in Las Vegas between January 6 and 9.

Realtime North America Integrates SecuGen Hamster Pro 20 into bioLock for SAP

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 27, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- SecuGen, the world's leading optical fingerprint device vendor, is pleased to announce the immediate availability of biometric identity management and fraud prevention for SAP(R) system users with SecuGen's flagship fingerprint reader, the Hamster Pro 20.

SecuGen fingerprint scanners are fully compatible with bioLock software, which gives SAP users biometric control of sensitive system activities at granular levels, such as financial transfers, access to customer or vendor master data and viewing of confidential company reports or intellectual property. Biometric credentials can be re-authenticated when users request restricted information or perform mission-critical activities, using a SecuGen Hamster series reader combined with bioLock software. Passwords become irrelevant and are replaced with robust biometric control. This enhances governance, regulatory compliance and strictly enforces Segregation of Duties (SoD) procedures.

SecuGen fingerprint readers are well known around the world for being accurate, rugged, and affordable. The Hamster Pro 20 is an ultra-compact reader that is IP65 certified. The Hamster Pro 20 is FAP 20 certified by the FBI and is listed on the GSA Approved Products List. In addition, the Hamster Pro 20 is STQC certified for use in India's Aadhaar project.

Jeff Brown, VP of Sales and Marketing stated, "The Hamster Pro 20 fingerprint reader works seamlessly with bioLock and SAP software to give security administrators more control than ever before. If a user fails a SecuGen biometric authentication by attempting an unauthorized activity, a supervisor can be automatically alerted by email of the logged security violation. The SecuGen Hamster reader therefore becomes an integral part of an SAP data loss and insider fraud prevention system."

"The SecuGen Hamster Pro 20 is a great product; it is small, rugged and works incredibly well. It is very easy to use with great speed and image quality," stated Thomas Neudenberger, COO of realtime North America Inc. "We are very impressed with the ergonomics and quality of this reader. The adoption and acceptance of biometrics in corporate environments is dependent on ease of use and convenience as provided by SecuGen's Hamster line of fingerprint readers."
