The AWS re:Invent event held in Las Vegas saw the launch of Amazon One Enterprise along with more strategic partnerships.
The new Amazon One Enterprise offering is a palm-based identity service for comprehensive authentication that improves organizational security and helps prevent costly security breaches. It is set to enable organizations to provide a fast contactless experience for employees and other authorized users to gain access to physical locations (e.g., data centers, office and residential buildings), as well as digital assets such as restricted software resources.
Dilip Kumar, vice president, AWS Applications, said: “Amazon One Enterprise’s palm recognition technology is designed to deliver a highly accurate identification service that increases an organization’s overall security, while offering seamless authentication management with lower operational overhead.”
