Fujitsu begins internal use of palm vein authentication to accelerate workstyle transformation

ntttttttttttt

Fujitsu says it will steadily roll out a large-scale deployment of its palm vein authentication technology within the company.

The password-based authentication that approximately 80,000 employees in Japan currently use to access their virtual desktops as part of Fujitsu’s workstyle transformation efforts will be replaced with palm vein authentication. Additionally, the smartcard-based authentication installed at the entrances to workplaces at two offices in Japan (Fujitsu Solution Square and the Tokai Branch Office) will make the switch over to palm vein authentication, and a field trial covering some 5,200 employees working at these locations will take place over the course of approximately one year.

In both cases, identity authentication and integrated operations and management will be performed on a cloud based platform.

Based on this initiative Fujitsu will drive forward enhanced security and streamlined operations companywide.
