Prevent Smarter

You want to prevent security breaches into your business. But security is complex and there are many aspects to it. Choices are difficult to make, stable technologies cannot be identified, and you could suffer from skyrocketing costs and complexity.

Based on long-lasting technologies, Dell end- point security solutions enable you to protect business assets by including relevant and long term technologies in our notebooks.

The Latitude E6500 and E6400 are designed with these multi-factor authentication technologies:

ƒStandard smartcard reader

ƒIntegrated fingerprint reader option

ƒNew integrated FIPS 201Certified fingerprint reader option on the E6500, which as an area sensor, can provide one of the highest possible quality finger print scans.

Furthermore, we make security easy for the user as well by providing easy to use software that supports multiple technologies through a single console in Dell ControlPoint Security Manager (see page 13 of this guide for more.)
