Nymi, Inc. today announced the launch of its next-generation wearable authenticator, the Nymi Band 4, which introduces design upgrades and expanded passwordless use cases for regulated industries while retaining its core authentication functionality that has made it a leading solution in the life sciences manufacturing sector.
This latest development from Nymi offers industries with complex operations a hands-free solution for passwordless, multi-factor authentication (MFA) that delivers strong security, compliance, and convenience for deskless workers, including manufacturing line operators, laboratory scientists, field technicians, and other critical workers in process-intensive environments.
The Nymi Band 4 is available for use as a standalone FIDO2 authenticator or as part of the Nymi Connected Worker Platform to enable customized use cases and seamless integration with other systems.
“What we have continually heard from our life sciences customers is that most authentication solutions don’t work for all their workers and environments, particularly those outside of a traditional office setting,” said David Fortune, President of Nymi. “Nymi has been designing and delivering a hands-free passwordless solution for the 80% of the global workforce who are deskless workers, often sharing terminals and devices, and who work on their feet or use their hands to perform their jobs.”
“We anticipate additional industries will adopt the Nymi Band because it makes life easier for their workers,” Fortune continued. “By offering a best-in-class solution tailored to an often-overlooked workforce, the Nymi Band also helps organizations meet stringent compliance standards, strengthen security, ensure data integrity, and embrace Industry 4.0 with on-the-person authentication—also known as the connected worker.”
Beyond life sciences, demand for the Nymi Band has been growing in other critical industries, as major companies look to save time, bolster security, and alleviate password-related frustrations for their workforce.
