Dorset, Beds & Leics Police goes USB Biometric with MicroRiver.
In order to reduce concerns over moving IT data securely, Dorset, Beds &Leicestershire Police Constabularies have taken positive steps to protect their ITdata with the use of a new Biometric USB flash pen drive. Most conventional USBflash drives have little if no security features; so if they are lost or stolen thenanyone can access the data held on the USB stick via a PC. The new finger printsecure flash drives use Carry It Easy s/w from CoSoSys.
MicroRiver s USB drive has two levels of protection, 1) A conventional password, 2)Biometric. Up to 10 finger print impressions can be stored. Hence the user wouldneed the password (if set up) or the correct finger print image to gain access toeither the 1GB, 2GB, 4GB or 8GB USB Flash Pen drive.
Typical applications of for the smaller devices are to store MS Offices data (e.g.Word, PowerPoint), whilst the larger storage volumes have benefits in capturing highresolution scene of crime images, and video capture within car number platerecognition systems.
MK Information Security Officer at Dorset Police said
We have been looking for this type of solution for a while. Microriver we even ableto give us a bespoke version of the security software so it is tailored to ourneeds
CL Service Desk Mgr, Bedfordshire Police said
In the past there has been a trade off between user functionality and security. Nowwe have been enabled to lock down the USB ports and still allowing approved datatransfers. We have even purchased the Carry It Easy s/w to give us passwordprotection on our normal flash drives
TG ICT Mgr at Leicestershire Police added
We like this device for it does not require admin rights to use or install, so itdoes not impact our technical support team rolling out these flash drives
Majid Ali Sales Director for MicroRiver commented that
He was delighted that Dorset, Beds, & Leics Police Forces use this device, givingus ten UK Police customers. In fact we have a further eleven UK police forcesevaluating the same product. This type of device is perfect for anyone moving orcarries data which needs to be secure; hence you will never be concerned if it waslost or stolen
