“Biometric systems are considered to be the most efficient method in the world when it comes to access controls, identification and authentication, and applications for e-passports and identity cards, and help combat identity fraud.” – GET Group NA Managing Director Alex Kambanis
Identity, credential, and access management (ICAM) solutions provider GET Group North America has become a reseller of Speed Identity’s biometric capture solution via an exclusive agreement, the companies have announced.
GET Group NA will now offer Speed Identity’s biometric scanning station as part of its overall security solutions portfolio. The station is designed to collect all ten fingerprints of a given subject and can also record digital signatures, including data related to direction, pressure, and velocity.
In a statement announcing the agreement, the company noted that “[v]irtually all high-end security documents… are increasingly moving toward the use of biometrics for identity screening.” As GET Group NA Managing Director Alex Kambanis explained, “Biometric systems are considered to be the most efficient method in the world when it comes to access controls, identification and authentication, and applications for e-passports and identity cards, and help combat identity fraud.”
Indeed, with many governments around the world starting to include biometrics in their most high-profile identity documents, including passports and driver licenses, GET Group NA’s move to embrace the technology is a timely one.
