Biometric fingerprint security solutions company UPEK Inc. is introducing a PC peripheral fingerprint reader that enables secure access to data and applications with the simple swipe of a finger. The new UPEK Fingerprint Reader was developed to help security-savvy consumers and corporations wanting to protecting access to digital networks and on-line environments where security is critical.
