Amazon Web solution, an Amazon.com firm, unveiled Amazon One Enterprise, a palm-based identity solution for comprehensive and easy-to-use authentication that improves enterprise security and prevents costly security breaches, at AWS.
The new service allows organizations to quickly, easily, and contactlessly grant employees and other authorized users access to physical locations (e.g., data centers, office and residential buildings, airports, hotels and resorts) and digital assets like restricted software resources.
Amazon One business eliminates the need to handle badges and PINs for business authentication. The AWS Management Console lets IT and security managers install Amazon One devices and manage users, devices, and software upgrades.
Today, corporations identify employees and other authorized users to access buildings and software resources via badges, fobs, PINs, and passwords. Traditional approaches have similar security flaws
PINs and passwords are readily forgotten, guessable, or shared, while badges and fobs can be lost, copied, cloned, or stolen. Manual verification, time-consuming credential management, and physical ID production are also required for many traditional authentication methods.
Although biometric technologies like iris scanning and fingerprint identification are not always reliable, organizations have used them to overcome these problems. Customers seek deployment and administration solutions that break user authentication silos.
Administrators must handle different authentication methods without visibility into all allowed access around the enterprise. IT and security administrators seek a centralized view of authentications (e.g., who accesses a location or software resource when), device usage, and software upgrades.
Amazon One business is a new, fully managed service that uses an easy-to-use biometric identification device to regulate business access securely and accurately. Every level of the service is secure, from multi-layered security measures in the Amazon One device to data in transit and the cloud.
