Safeguard your Cloud Applications with Biometric Authentication System


Marlon is an IT manager of a reputed organization. Every day their business access bunches of essential data. Those are so confidential and can cause severe issues if breaches occur. Being a multinational company he needs a system that is accessible from multiple countries, provides flexibility and help to meet time to market objective. No doubt they have no option other than to employ cloud technology, but like others, Marlon is also concerned about security.

Common Threats in Cloud Computing
It is undeniable that cloud computing provides many business benefits. Along with these benefits there is a factor with security issues that can be a nightmare for a company. These threats include:
Malicious Insider: An unknown insider can break through your data center and can disrupt your cloud data. It can also be done through a network system. A malicious intruder can break the security system and can breach the data center. This could happen due to deploying password to the access system.


Data Breach: Data breach can happen in two way. Hacker could breach the data center security and can get access to it and thus leak the data they want. This is a physical way of breaching such data. Besides hacker cloud break the data security by hacking its access and be at the middle where data passed from sender to receiver. Here hacker encrypted all data and breached them as per their need.


Password Breach: Through logical guess with a bit of math, a hacker can breach the password and get access to the data center.


Account Hijacking: Your data can be a breached by hijacking your account. The intruder could steal your access through guessing, or getting access to your secure data by pretending to be an authorized user.
Biometric Authentication System – SafeGuard of your Cloud Computing  
Reading all through these facts you might be frightened like Marlon. You might be thinking that cloud computing could be a huge risk for you and for your company. Luckily that’s not exactly true. All these breaches can only happen due to a weak security system. You need a new type of safeguard for your cloud applications. A guard that is strong enough to secure your data, so tight that is impossible to break, unable to manipulated and only give access to the authorized users. A Biometric authentication system is the perfect safeguard for your cloud computing needs.
Unbreakable Password: Thanks to a biometric feature no one can breach the password. Biometric modalities like fingerprint, iris; finger vein are unique by nature. A system with a biometric safe guard can only give access to the authorized person with a valid biometric password. M2SYS M2-EasyScan Pro™ fingerprint scanner, M2SYS M2-Auto Tilt™ Iris scanner, and M2-FingerVein™ reader are biometric devices that could ensure security integrity to your physical data center.


Impossible to Breach Cloud Network: Yes you heard right, now biometric technology comes with cloud technology. So your cloud will be secure like your data center. The only authorized person can access your cloud network through their biometric authentication. So there will be no unwanted intruder who could breach your network system. Thanks to M2SYS CloudABIS ™, this cloud-based biometric technology can be deployed via Web API within an hour and can integrate various biometric modalities like a fingerprint, finger vein, iris, and face recognition to your software. Moreover, it comes with a scalable SaaS model. Where you will be charged according to your data size.


No Threats of Account Hijacking: Yes, no one can hijack your account and pretend like you, because your account will be safe by the biometric authentication system. An intruder cannot steal your biometric. Even though if they try to spoof your fingerprint this safeguard could save you through its liveliness detection technology.

Secure Remote Access: Cloud comes with the benefit of portability, mobility and remote access. But at the same time, remote access feature comes with a threat of data breach by an intruder. This could only happen if the cloud is secure by old age password method that can be breached easily. Biometric authentication system provides such security through its mobile devices. You can use MULTICHECK-C™ or RapidCheck to provide remote access through biometric authentication. Due to its portability feature, you can take it anywhere you want and can access your secure cloud application at any time.
Business organization these days are deploying cloud computing for their business function. Due to its benefits of easy accessibility, cost-effectiveness, and IT flexibility, its attractiveness is undeniable. But if we couldn’t make sure proper security to cloud application, this can become a threat for its user. For this reason, this is high time to safeguard cloud application through biometric authentication. Only these could make IT manager like Marlon to lead a relief life and also could bring prosperity to our modern life and business.
If you are looking for a cloud application with pre-build biometric authentication, you must go for CloudApper ™. It is a cloud-based no code application builder, through which you can build your desired application according to your need without writing a single line of code. If this sounds amazing, then fill up the form below and lets us discuss this in more detail.

Iris Recognition vs. Retina Scanning – What are the Differences?

In biometrics, iris and retinal scanning are known as “ocular-based” identification technologies, meaning they rely on unique physiological characteristics of the eye to identify an individual. Even though they both share part of the eye for identification purposes, these biometric modalities are quite different in how they work. Let’s take a closer look at both and then explain the similarities and differences in detail: Retinal Scanning:  The human retina is a thin tissue composed of neural cells that are located in the posterior portion of the eye. Because of the complex structure of the capillaries that supply the retina with blood, each person’s retina is unique. The network of blood vessels in the retina is so complex that even identical twins do not share a similar pattern. Although retinal patterns may be altered in cases of diabetes, glaucoma or retinal degenerative disorders, the retina typically remains unchanged from birth until death. (Source: Wikipedia) ...

Finger Vein Biometrics Identification for Membership Management Software

An article published today in the University of Vermont’s campus newspaper The Vermont Cynic reported that the campus recreation center has adopted M2SYS finger vein technology for student member identification. Tim Lewis, associate director for campus recreation made the decision to use finger vein biometrics for member identification after brainstorming ideas on how to eliminate students carrying ID cards. Happy to see our finger vein biometric identification system used at the University of Vermont through a partnership we have with Vermont Systems, a recreation and parks software provider based in Essex Junction, VT. Modern-day membership management software is designed to help create efficiencies that antiquated methods simply can’t provide. In an effort to eliminate ID cards, prevent identity fraud, and create a more convenient user experience, many membership management facilities are evaluating vascular biometrics (finger vein) for identification because of the distinct ...

Misinformation about Biometric Technology Continues to Fuel Functionality Misconceptions

Today, we came across the following blog post from Guy Huntington at Infosec Island: “What Happened to My Biometric?” In the post, the author discusses the inherent dangers of opting into a biometric identification system by providing your fingerprint and the possible negative privacy and identity theft consequences if a user does not make sure that their biometric template is deleted from the system if they leave or opt-out. Our take:  While we are always pleased to see biometric technology pop up in the news or through blog postings, we often cringe when we see these types of articles that essentially do not accurately depict biometric technology, and leave readers with ill-conceived perceptions about how the technology actually works. Anyone who works in the biometric industry can attest to the fact that there is never an image of a user’s fingerprint stored. The truth of the matter is that biometric enrollment templates stored on a server are not actually an image of t...
