Logical and physical biometric access

Biometric logical access strengthens secure systems at the Department of Agriculture, Forestry & Fisheries.

A recent Ernst & Young report confirmed that the greatest security threat to organisations comes from current or ex employees. With a wave of retrenchments flowing from the economic downturn, over 75% of the companies surveyed in Ernst & Young’s 2009 Global Information Security Study expressed concern that disgruntled employees could sabotage their employers’ systems. Despite this, just a quarter of organisations were taking steps to improve security around their physical and logical assets.

One government organisation ahead of the game is the Department of Agriculture, Forestry & Fisheries, which, earlier this year, became one of the first government departments in the country to implement a converged biometric physical and logical access system. The Budgets and Reporting Directorate at the Department’s Head Office in Pretoria is responsible for managing the organisation’s financial system control functions including the logons to PCs and secure applications used by the finance, HR and supply chain management directorates.

Department of Agriculture tills local technology

The Department of Agriculture has implemented a converged biometric physical and logical access system.

The Budgets and Reporting Directorate at The Department of Agriculture’s Head Office in Pretoria is responsible for managing the organisation’s financial system control functions, including the logging onto PCs and secure applications used by the finance, HR and supply chain management directorates.

In order to ensure that its applications are secure, the Department – as in the case of all government organisations – applies a strict password management policy for all staff who log onto its computer systems.

Secure Sign On installed at Gauteng Provincial Government

Sybu Data and technology partner SuperVision awarded contract to supply SSO Enterprise to Gauteng Provincial Government. The workstations in a the computer classroom of the schools will be supplied with SSO. Each pupil will be enrolled on the system and will be able to access the workstation and specific applications via fingerprint identification.

How to find the UUID / UDID (unique identifier) for Apple iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad?

Some of our iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad applications are distributed on an Ad-hoc basis.  This means that you will receive it by email or can download from our website, but you cannot purchase it via the App Store.

We require the UUID or UDID (unique identifier) for the device it will be installed on.  This allows the application to run on your device, and prevents copying to other devices (this process automatically happens when you purchase an appplication via the App Store), but for an Ad-Hoc distributed application you need to send us the device UDID.

How to find the UDID?

Step 1:  Start iTunes

Step 2: Connect your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad and wait until iTunes list it under “Devices”.

Step 3: Select the device

iPhone UDID step1

Step 4: Click on the ‘Serial Number’ on the Summary tab.  The ‘Serial Number’ display will change to Identifier (UDID)
