The MIT Excellence Award Committee said that FaceOn Logon was considered first choice in the "Innovation" category for creativity in product functions and potentiality. It is also the top security solution for its excellent product originality, product compatibility and added product values in the "Technology" category.

Alan Yeh, president and CEO of Symtron Technology said, "Symtron's newly launched computer user authentication software FaceOn Logon turns users' faces into a pass token to log on and unlock his or her computer." It adds another level of security on top of existing computer operation systems through Symtron's core technology of face recognition, he said.

By adding standard PC cameras, FaceOn Logon software not only solves the hassle of physical contact, but also brings individual users and enterprises a total user authentication solution with reliability and traceability. The system only allows the administrator and authorized users to access the computers and data.
