New York City To Host New Trade Show Showcasing Biometric Security Solutions

Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC�) is hosting BiometriTech�, the new event showcasing biometric security solutions, June 25-27 at the Hotel Penn in Midtown Manhattan.

The September 11th terrorist attacks have created a heightened security tension in New York - and worldwide. Biometric physical security technologies are quickly becoming the solution relied upon when foolproof access control and identification is required. Biometric solutions are also being deployed to protect precious corporate data. There is no more secure, hack-proof solution than biometrics for controlling access to corporate facilities, networks and sensitive databases.

According to Pat Friend, President of the Association of Flight Attendants, Biometrics is a vital part of securing New York and America against future attacks. She said the Association supports biometric technologies, in tandem with the proper universal security system, for all airport personnel. "We have supported a universal access for crew members based on biometric authentication. That's the way of the future," she said.

"Long before September 11th, the concept of achieving greater security using Biometrics was gaining momentum. Many companies, agencies, law enforcement groups, property/facility managers - all seeking to control access or protect data - had biometric systems in place when the terrorist attacks heightened security awareness. These technologies are now at a point where ALL those responsible for physical and data security need to make themselves aware of the solutions best for their particular application. And the systems integrators and installers need to learn about these technologies that are a MUST for their toolboxes," explained Rich Tehrani, TMC� president and conference co-chairman for BiometriTech�.

"BiometriTech is the event where all of the applications will be examined from each point of view - user, installer, reseller, and integrator," added Tehrani.

According to Marc Robins, TMC's� Vice President of Publications and Trade Shows, BiometriTech is coming along at exactly the right time and is in exactly the right location. "There are enough deployments of Biometrics already to validate that the technology works and is poised to become the leading security solution used worldwide. An event like BiometriTech provides the essential forum - in the city so often mentioned as a potential target - where vendors can gather with integrators, installers and public and private sector users to discuss the benefits and virtues of the solutions, and the important privacy issues involved in implementing them. As Biometric solutions develop, this is the place where people need to be informed."
