Synaptics brings us a very simple and interesting device, and it will allow us add a fingerprint detector to our laptop, a very effective way to guarantee the security of all the data contained in it.
A USB module with fingerprint reader
Don't be fooled by the small size of this device, since it is a device that will be responsible for protecting our equipment more effectively than we achieve with other systems, and it also offers us fantastic compatibility to operate in any team.
Basically it is designed both for new computers that do not have a fingerprint detector and for old laptops to which we want to add extra protection, and we are not going to find any limits when it comes to using it.
Also, although Its use is especially designed for laptop computers because they are the ones most at risk of being stolen, the truth is that We will also be able to use it directly on our desktop computer.
Fingerprint detectors and computing
It should be noted that fingerprint detectors are becoming more and more popular thanks to the extra security they offer us, but the truth is that it is not exactly a new invention, since for many years, these readers have been used mainly to protect business computers where a large amount of information was stored, thus preventing workers or people outside the company from accessing certain data that could violate the privacy or security of the company itself or even the workers themselves .
However, this system was quite expensive, but thanks to technological advances, today we not only achieve greater effectiveness, but we also find prices that, until recently, seemed impossible.
This has meant that little by little, fingerprint detectors have become an important part of a large number of devices, be they Smartphones, Tablets or even our own laptops, but what do we do if our equipment does not have an integrated fingerprint detector? ?, well we will only have to get this one Synaptics fingerprint reader USB device and connect it to the equipment we want to protect.
From now on, to start our equipment (guaranteeing the maximum possible security), we can do it only with a simple touch of the finger, proving that we are the owners or people authorized to use the device.
Synaptics USB fingerprint reader launches on the market
Although we are already close to being able to start using this interesting device, there are still a few months of testing and corrections ahead, and the manufacturer informs us that it will not be until the fourth quarter of this year when they begin mass manufacturing it for the public. and companies. Therefore, in order to acquire it and have it in our hands, we will at least have to wait for the first quarter of 2017 to pass, but we should not despair, since there is less left than it seems, and without a doubt it is a fantastic tool with which we will enjoy maximum privacy and comfort.
