IOGEAR has come out with a new PC mouse called the Personal Security Mouse withy Nano Technology (GMEFP1W6). This mouse is meant for businesses, remote workers as well as consumers who wish to keep their individual PC data secure with biometric authentication.

It was found out by Nucleus Research that over a third of employees write down or electronically record their passwords. But, using IOGEAR’s latest mouse, only a fingerprint scan is required to log-in to a computer.

Since the IOGEAR Personal Security Mouse is able to store up to five identities, it is also perfect for deskless workers as well as those families who share computers.

Other features of the IOGEAR Security Mouse include file/folder and hard-drive encryption, as well as individual encrypted memory space that is accessible only via fingerprint authentication.

The Personal Security Mouse also offers automatic secure Web site login, as it is able to store user names and passwords, which will only be available with the scan of a registered fingerprint.

Coming to the design aspect of the IOGEAR Personal Security Mouse, it’ surface is covered with a Titanium Dioxide and Silver nano-particle compound that contains antimicrobial properties. These materials help to protect the mouse from bacteria that may thrive on its surface, and in turn contributes to a much more hygienic workplace.
