The users of IAM will be able to increase security through fingerprint, voice, face, and iris recognition provided by Samsung’s Fido, the company added.

The partnership between the two sides was concluded on the sidelines of the Oracle OpenWorld 2016 event being held in San Francisco.

Samsung SDS President Hong Won-pyo said in a company statement that in addition to the partnership, the company will step up its global marketing with cooperation from Oracle in health care solutions.
