Automatic Authentication and Continuous Access Control

Sensible Vision’s FastAccess™ is a powerful yet simple solution that replaces a user’s password with their face. Using patent-pending biometric facial recognition technology, FastAccess automatically and continuously authenticates user log-in and instantly secures the computer when the user leaves. This virtually eliminates login passwords, makes the computer significantly more secure and easier to use, and strengthens access control auditing for privacy and identity management policies. Advantages include:

  • No More Unsecured, Unattended Computers: Computers instantly secure themselves when users step away. 
  • Better User Productivity: Users can focus on their jobs rather than time-consuming and frustrating processes of constantly entering passwords or other authentication procedures.
  • Improved Access Control and Auditing: Provides an accurate audit of computer and network access for business and regulatory compliance – a true audit log of who’s been at the computer and when.
  • Simple Setup and Administration: Unlike other security and biometric solutions, no special enrollment procedure is needed. Administrators can configure FastAccess locally or remotely through Microsoft's Active Directory.

FastAccess is available directly from Sensible Vision and through its growing base of resellers and partners throughout the world, including Healthcast. The company is building OEM relationships to integrate its continuous authentication software into hardware products such as point of sale, pharmacy automation solutions and medical equipment as well as with the leading healthcare software vendors.
