Government and commercial enterprises are increasingly adopting biometric solutions to address heightened security requirements. Biometric technologies provide an optimal security tool to protect against identity theft, unauthorized access to borders and restricted facilities, network systems and critical data. Additionally, several legislative acts, government mandates and compliance requirements are driving the demand for biometrics to be integrated into security solutions.

With the rise in the use of biometrics for physical and logical security, authenticated identity management and mobile verification, biometric technologies must be interoperable, designed for integration with other applications and scalable for enterprise deployment. This requires a product that provides key middleware functionality such that physical and logical access, identity management as well as mobile authentication systems can be managed from the same application with common policies and processes.

To date, most biometric vendors market sensors, either individual (such as fingerprint) or multimodal (combination of sensors). Many companies providing multimodal solutions claim the systems to be "integrated" yet most require separate management software for different biometric methods and fall short of satisfying the rigorous interoperability and scalability requirements necessary for enterprise-wide deployments.

Advanced Biometric Controls has solved this problem by providing the most comprehensive biometric middleware to enable disparate biometric technologies and systems to interoperate in heterogeneous environments.

Named BiObex™, the product provides a robust suite of functionality for the configuration, deployment, reporting, auditing and maintenance of multi-biometric data and transaction access control. User management and administration traverses vendor technologies and biometric modalities. Authentication is handled through one management application that delivers value-add functionality positioning BiObex as the middleware of choice for enterprise-wide deployment of diverse biometric systems.
