Atos integrates heartbeat identification into its unique authentication solutions
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Atos introduces the Nymi Band(TM) wristband to its Evidian Enterprise SSO unique
authentication solution
Paris, Lille, 24 January 2017 - Atos, leader in digital transformation, is
launching, under its technological brand Bull, a new, ultra-secure
authentication method in its Evidian Enterprise SSO solution. It will now use
the Nymi Band, an authentication wristband based on a person's heartbeat, to
enable Always On Authentication(TM). In partnership with Nymi, the leader in
wearable authentication devices and creator of the Nymi Band, Atos is now
offering users a new way to securely access their data and critical applications
via multi-factor authentication.
Based on advanced biometric methods from Nymi like HeartID(TM) or
Always On Authentication, the Evidian Enterprise SSO (Single Sign-On) solution
allows users to authenticate themselves and stay authenticated, and to easily
and securely communicate with authorized workstations, either via
Bluetooth Low Energy technologies or via NFC (Near Field Communication).
Evidian Enterprise SSO is thereby offering an alternative to conventional
security products, such as biometric identification at terminals, chips or card
readers. This solution represents a major advance for sectors such as health,
the pharmaceutical industry and research laboratories, as users can now sign in,
hands-free, by simply pressing their Nymi Band against an NFC reader. They are
then authenticated by Bluetooth and, thanks to wireless connection, remain so
until they leave their workstation.
This enables employees to benefit from a simplified and ultra-protected user
experience to authenticate themselves and access company data and applications
without having to remember and enter passwords.
"It is an entirely unique experience for end users: this innovative
authentication will make the way they work simpler while guaranteeing company
security. Together, Atos and Nymi will be able to attain operational excellence,
even in the most sensitive of fields, while continuing to offer optimal user
convenience for their teams," explains Louis-Marie Fouchard, manager of the
Identity Management product range at Atos.
"We are delighted to work with partners like Atos to offer a new form of
authentication aimed in particular at the health and pharmaceuticals sectors.
The unique Always On Authentication technology of the Nymi Band enables
clinicians, doctors and nursing staff to easily access their data while
maintaining complete security, without using their hands or having to remember a
PIN or a password. The combined solution brings together security and
convenience like never before," declares Shawn Chance, Vice President of
Strategy at Nymi.
Atos is attending the International Cybersecurity Forum (FIC) 2017 on January
24(th) and 25(th) at stand A22. Experts are available to discuss any issues
related to cybersecurity.
