Overview of Security Problem:

Securing computer systems involves more than just setting up a screen saver to time out due to non-use for a predetermined amount of time. With staff constantly accessing vital information quickly and efficiently, the computer systems have to be available in many physical locations, which also make them accessible to non authorized people. The frantic pace in the typical office of today's world makes for many instances during a session in which the user must leave the vicinity of the computer.

THE VAST MAJORITY OF USERS DO NOT LOG OFF each time they leave the computer (especially for a "few minutes"). Most of the systems on the market today are geared to authenticate the user (or to keep unauthorized uses out of the system). The problem comes up when an authorized user gets into the system and then must leave the computer quickly. The user that was authorized to get into the computer and was on it, has now left the vicinity of the computer. Unless the user logged out of the computer (or initiated a manual lockout), the computer was left with full access to anyone that happens by it. Additionally, according to research studies, the average support cost to a company directly related to password issues is $380 per user per year.

The Solution:

Using the Bio Proximity Security System, the authorized user is AUTHENTICATED and allowed access to the system. When the user gets up to leave the computer, the system automatically blanks out the screen and locks the workstation until the authorized user returns. When the user returns, the user re-AUTHENTICATES themselves, and within 1/3 of a second, the user’s screen is automatically returned to their original screen. NO PASSWORDS or USER ID's and the workstation is secured without any need for a manual logout.

Unlike other security or even biometric systems, the Bio Proximity Security Systems product locks the system and prevents unauthorized system (or information) access to unauthorized users without the user having to do anything (other than showing up or leaving the scene of the computer). The addition of the Mercury enterprise management system adds an ability to monitor and maintain a network (or wide area network) of Access Denied Systems desktop devices in an integrated and seamless way. This highly attractive feature is one of the key differentiators of the ADS solutions.
