Accops and C-DAC build Accops BioAuth, a modern facial authentication solution

Accops, an Indian-origin provider of remote access products and solutions, has partnered with Centre for Development of Advanced Computing, a premier R&D organisation under Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Govt of India, to build and deliver Accops BioAuth, a modern facial authentication solution with continuous user environment monitoring.

The state-of-the-art solution enables enterprises and government organisations to create a trusted work environment on demand and empower users of critical applications to be securely productive from wherever they are.

Built with the facial recognition technology developed by C-DAC, Accops BioAuth helps highly regulated businesses, such as BFSI, Pharma, BPO KPO, and critical government departments and PSUs, prevent identity impersonation, shoulder surfing, credential sharing and authentication-related cyberattacks. Additionally, it may be useful for educational institutions as a remote proctoring solution. With an easy-to-integrate attribute, Accops’ facial authentication solution works with any cameras pre-installed in all laptops, PCs, and tablets today, to capture a user’s face and validate it against a pre-registered face template of the user. The user’s face template is securely stored in the centralised Accops BioAuth server installed in the organisation’s datacentre.

When enabled, Accops BioAuth can continuously monitor the user’s work environment at pre-determined intervals to check for the authorised user’s presence, identity impersonation and shoulder surfing. It locks out the user if any anomaly is detected and the incident is reported to the organisation for audit.
