Retina Network Security For The Corporate Environment

Users can leverage retina network security for risk assessment, project risk management and enforcing standards-based registry settings through custom policy audits. Because the majority of Retina scans can be conducted without administrator rights, Retina is the easiest scanner to use, and the most cost-effective to deploy, since the majority of its scans can be conducted remotely without administrator rights.

Biometrics (retina scanners or fingerprint readers) can be used, and work is underway to integrate smart card technology with this system. Biometric systems enable access to secure or sensitive areas, such as energy supply facilities, nuclear power stations or emergency service control centers. A digital biometric identification card also opens up new opportunities for logical access controls, for example in e-government, e-banking or e-business. Biometric identification systems are completely automated and provide accuracy not achieved by manual systems, where such systems also remove the subjective judgment factor that most manual systems employ, at least as a "first line of defense" in the screening process.

Biometric-based solutions ensure confidential financial transactions and personal data privacy, where the need for biometrics can be found in federal, state, and local governments; the military; and the private sector. Biometric identification has been used by government agencies such as law enforcement and immigration, and the photo included in an individual's driver's license or employee ID, thumb print and in legal documents. Biometrics have been commonly used in high-security applications where unauthorized access into a facility is unacceptable, where recently elementary schools have been using hand geometry systems to verify custodial parents, as the abduction of a child by a noncustodial parent is one of their greatest vulnerabilities.

Biometric methods are typically a very good way to identify an individual, should be used in conjunction with another method of verification, because if a fingerprint scanner is the sole method of verification, a user with an injured or bandaged hand may not be able to log on. Biometrics is used in security applications such as gaining system access and entry after identification, where in identification mode, the biometrics system identifies a person from the enrolled population by searching a database for a match.

The use of retina network security scanners is considered to be one of the most reliable and effective biometric scanning devices, and by scanning the ultra-specific retinal blood vessel patterns unique to every person, retina scanners provide an almost foolproof means of identifying a person. Retina scanning has a strong focus on risk identification and remediation, where these devices on the network can be displayed in order of risk exposure, and remediation plans developed that take a triage view of the enterprise.
