AUSTIN, Texas —HID Global announced its next-generation Seos® credential technology will enable Nymi Band™ 3.0 users to seamlessly open doors and authenticate to systems, devices, and machines. The Nymi Band continuously authenticates the identity of the user until it’s removed from the wrist. This delivers “zero trust” security principles and access control using fingerprint and heartbeat biometrics to users seeking touchless authentication.
“Wearables are increasingly popular authentication for access to buildings, doors, and assets; manufacturing systems with compliance traceability requirements; health care and defense markets; and other hands-free applications where users may not be allowed to carry mobile devices, cards, or fobs,” said Steve Currie, vice president and managing director of extended access technologies with HID Global. “We are excited to provide these high-assurance authentication capabilities with the Nymi Band 3.0, an exciting new wearable on the market.”
