This process identifies more than 240 points of unique characteristics in each human iris, ensuring identity confirmation is accurate. Combined with the use of video technology, EyeLock provides unprecedented security and convenience for accessing business critical information.

Leveraging the same award-winning design and form factor of its critically acclaimed consumer product, EyeLock has launched its proven technology and palm-sized design to provide secure access to enterprise level digital accounts. Enterprise myris uses patented iris authentication technology to enable access to corporate domain environments with unmatched speed, accuracy, security and convenience.

"Usernames and passwords will soon be a thing of the past, and EyeLock's introduction of enterprise myris brings us one step closer," explained Anthony Antolino, Chief Marketing Officer of EyeLock.  "Organizations are in a constant struggle to keep their digital transactions safe from compromise, breach and theft.  Until service providers take the step to eliminate usernames and passwords, enterprise myris enables administrators to manage employee authentication and passwords in ways that have never been possible until now."

Enterprise myris is compatible with Windows 7, 8 , 8.1 and Surface Pro tablets.  Enterprise myris works easily with digital networks in corporate environments.  Robust and reliable enough to secure workstations, high value transactions, critical databases and information systems.
