Lenovo: One Million Biometric PCs
Lenovo has announced that it is on the verge of selling its 1,000,000th ThinkPad notebook equipped with an integrated biometric fingerprint reader.
"Security is critical to our customers, and they rely on Lenovo to deliver innovative, cutting-edge PC solutions," said Peter Hortensius, senior vice president, Notebook Business Unit, Lenovo.
"It's very unusual to find a new feature that makes your PC more secure while making it much easier to use. The Thinkpad fingerprint reader is popular because it is one of those rare exceptions. By tying strong passwords to your fingerprint, you can make PC security simple and effective in order to protect your customers' data, as well as your own personal information."Lenovo estimates that password resets account for 35-50 percent of all helpdesk calls. By automating and securing the password reset process through Lenovo's password manager software and integrated fingerprint reader, users can avoid timely and costly support calls.
ThinkPads with integrated fingerprint readers make security simple, enabling users to access password-protected personal and financial information, web sites, documents and e-mail with a swipe of their finger while protecting data from unauthorized access. The integrated fingerprint reader is part of a broad set of security tools including Lenovo's Client Security Solution 6.0, which provides security software and an embedded security chip.
"We place a huge priority on security and deployed ThinkPad notebooks with fingerprint readers because they were the only notebooks to offer an integrated hardware and software security solution," said Mike Sink, director of infrastructure, Kichler Lighting.
"Lenovo's ThinkPad notebook with integrated fingerprint reader has been an immensely popular tool with our employees while providing a higher level of security and convenience."
