Synaptics 'IronVeil' Brings Biometric Security To The Desktop PC

Over the last week, there have been some important announcements related to client device security. Intel announced Authenticate yesterday, and late last week, Microsoft reiterated support for Intel's Skylake with its Credential Guard. Security is becoming one of the most important things that businesses and consumers think about when it comes to their computer usage. Given the learnings from both the Sony and Target hacks, the increase in state sponsored hacking, and the press that the iPhone photo hacking incident received, this make a lot of sense. One of the leading companies enabling client device biometric security has been Synaptics through their fingerprint sensor technologies.
