The conference, which was held at the Hilton Anaheim, CA last Thursday, provided attendees a look at the latest technologies in safety and security with special hands-on, interactive tech expo and drew hundreds of participants, including corporate giants such as Hilton Hotels Corp. and Walt Disney.
ClearPass' showcased biometric security products included the CP-1000 Advanced USB Fingerprint Reader, CP-1100 SmartCard and Fingerprint Reader Combo, CP-5000 and CP-6000 Biometric Authentication, Time Attendance and Access Controllers, and biometric controlled door locks.
The CP-1000 has a compact, rugged silicon sensor and robust software, based on technology originally developed at Lucent/Bell Labs, which can authenticate users with USB fingerprint reader from any PC or laptop computer. The embedded biometric silicon sensor detects forged and falsified fingerprints, provides secure access to computers, files, networks, and internet communications, and protects privacy and confidential data with included encryption/decryption software.
The CP-1100 offers simple, user-friendly strong authentication in the form of a fingerprint reader, smart card reader, or both, and provides added security with 2-factor authentication.
The CP-5000 uses advanced fingerprint recognition technology to provide foolproof access control and/or time attendance. It is designed with perfect convenience, safety and security for installation at high-level security facilities and meets requirements for cost-effective, large-scale enrollment identification and verification applications.
The CP-6000 comes with advanced biometric recognition technology using embedded high performance fingerprint reader and built-in digital camera to confirm identities. A foolproof method to increase site security and control access without having to hire additional personnel to monitor and verify each entrant. The device meets requirements for high-traffic, large-scale enrollment and can be used at a variety of facilities such as airports, theme parks, cruise ships, health clubs, corporate and government buildings, and hotels to provide foolproof 2-factor identity verifications that can not be forged or falsified. The CP-6000 unit can be used as a stand-alone or connected to a network.
The Company was very pleased at the high level of interest in the ClearPass' products at the security expo and believed that this would translate into some good orders in the near future.
