Zwipe® Access Cards with Biometric Authentication deliver simple, affordable dual-factor biometric authentication upgrade to existing single-factor access control systems. (Photo: Business Wire) Elevating physical access control at the cabinet level provides a higher degree of security and control over IT assets and helps customers comply with security laws recommending dual factor authentication. Zwipe Access combines the security of biometric authentication with the speed and convenience of contactless credentials in a durable, fingerprint-activated card. By touching the sensor on the card, the card owner verifies their identity, and the positive fingerprint authentication will allow the card to communicate with the reader. The fingerprint data is registered and securely encrypted and stored on the card, and only on the card, so there is no need to maintain and secure a separate back-end authentication database. "Our unique technology, which directly addresses industry mandates to upgrade user authentication while maintaining their privacy, has been adopted and integrated in a wide range of high security environments, with many data centers around the world already using Zwipe Access as their primary method to enter secure areas. Working with Chatsworth Products, we are confident that our offering will now be available to an even larger market," says Einar Boije, Sr. Vice President of Access Control at Zwipe. Additionally, Zwipe Access is fully compatible with the vast majority of existing employee ID systems and CPI's Electronic Access Control (EAC) Solutions. Together, these solutions deliver a highly secure dual-factor access control solution at a greatly redued cost over traditional systems that require integration of biometric readers into every cabinet handle. "We see the need to push security and authentication down to the cabinet level, and believe two-factor, biometric-based authentication is the most secure system available. Our solution offers several options and with our new partnership with Zwipe, we are providing a better solution to the data center community that is easy to use and maintain, as well as reduces the overall cost and complexity of deploying high security to the cabinet level," states Ashish Moondra, CPI Sr. Product Manager of Power, Electronics & Software. Additional benefits of Zwipe Access:
