Xyntek Partners with Nymi, Adding Wearable Biometric Devices to Their Biometric Authentication Platform

NEWTOWN, Pa., Nov. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Xyntek Incorporated, a global leader in pharmaceutical and life sciences automation and IT solutions recently signed a partnership agreement with Nymi, expanding our Turnkey Biometrics Authentication Platform to include wearable technology.  Nymi Bands join an already impressive list of iris and fingerprint scanning technologies that Xyntek integrates to business-critical operations and processes. These solutions bring significant improvements and efficiencies to complex and GxP controlled laboratory, manufacturing, and healthcare processes that require user authentication and electronic signatures to review/approve completion of critical process steps. Nymi's unique wearable authentication solution, activated by a user's biometrics, keeps workers continuously authenticated to facilitate rapid logins/e-signatures with just a tap of their wrist.   

Xyntek's platform is built around a high-availability centralized authentication service which transforms a user's biometric identity into their enterprise account credentials in seconds. Xyntek's biometric platform supports all standard biometric devices including fingerprints and iris scanners, and our new partnership will add wearable technology, Nymi Bands, to the platform.

Mac Hashemian, P.E., CEO of Xyntek explains, "In the past a user's identity was verified based on what we know, such as our username/passwords/PINs or what we have, such as ID & access cards. Biometric authentication enables user identification based on who we are, by using unique physical characteristics such as iris patterns and fingerprints to allow access to extremely sensitive systems, information and/or environments. With digital transformation and the push for mobility, we now have to factor in "what extends us" to this equation. The Nymi Biometric wearable technology provides an additional level of flexibility that provides operators with a more efficient way to achieve compliance and security without compromising productivity." 

Nymi's Vice President, Andrew Foxcroft adds,"We are excited to be working closely with Xyntek and integrating the Nymi Bands into Xyntek's portfolio of solutions and services.  There are many use cases in the Life Sciences GxP environments that can benefit from wearable authentication devices.  By combining our technology with Xyntek's Biometric Authentication Platform, we can address a number of important use cases featuring enterprise authentication that delivers data integrity and security, allowing highly regulated industries to achieve compliance and productivity."

About Nymi
Assuring it's you. Assuring the human shouldn't be hard. It shouldn't be hard for you or your team, but it is. Today's solutions are incomplete and fall short of ensuring that you have the proper people performing the actions that the business intended. Weak passwords, shared credentials, and lost badges all challenge the integrity of data in complex manufacturing facilities. As the march towards Industry 4.0 continues, and the Industrial Internet of Things sees more and more connected devices on the shop floor, the need for non-repudiable authentication is becoming greater and greater. Our latest offering, Nymi Enterprise Edition is tailor made to deliver on the security and compliance mandate that our customers face every day.
