"Maintaining the integrity of the evidence that is processed in our crime lab is of supreme importance," said Yvonne Armstrong, information systems manager of the Ventura County Sheriff's Department. "With the heightened security provided by the BNX authentication solution, we can be sure that only authorized individuals are able to access evidence records and perform evidence transfers."
With the system, administrators can centrally manage all user authentication and sign-on activity and insert authentication events at key points within an electronic process or transaction. By requiring authentication of crime lab employees, the Ventura County Sheriff's Department is able to associate each action with a specific user authentication event. This allows the department to generate a detailed record of evidence handling, if needed.
