Today, an increasingly mobile workforce, heightened awareness of
corporate data breaches and strengthened industry regulations have led
to a greater demand for data protection measures among consumers and
enterprise alike. To address this need, 3M – a leader in visual privacy
solutions – is expanding its offerings by introducing the ePrivacy
Filter, a software which alerts users to over-the-shoulder
onlookers. This software protects mobile workers from visual hacking
from virtually every angle when paired with a traditional 3M
Privacy Filter.

Features of the 3M ePrivacy Filter include:
-
Intelligent facial recognition technology that identifies the
software’s owner and only reveals the screen for that individual via
webcam
-
Intrusion detection tool that detects over-the-shoulder
snoopers and alerts the user with a pop-up image of the intruder’s face
-
Walk-away privacy feature that blurs the device screen when the
user looks or steps away from the screen but instantly reveals the
screen upon return, allowing for a seamless transition from protection
to usability
-
Customizable privacy settings and various intuitive presets
that allow users to achieve the optimal level of visual privacy for
their specific wants and needs
In addition to this ePrivacy Filter Professional version, the Enterprise
edition, geared specifically to corporate use, includes bonus features
like audit capability, central deployment and management settings.
“With our customers more mobile than ever before, they require the
utmost assurance that their data is protected no matter where they are
working,” said Nicola Stevens, Business Director, Specialty Display
Systems Business Unit. “Adding the ePrivacy Filter to 3M’s suite of
privacy protection products offers them the means to build a
comprehensive visual privacy strategy by providing them with visual
privacy protection from virtually every angle.”
The 3M ePrivacy Filter can be purchased for laptops and desktops running
Windows Operating Systems. The 3M ePrivacy Filter Professional edition
is available for $49.99 and the 3M ePrivacy Filter Enterprise edition is
available for $59.99 per seat. A special $20 mail-in rebate offer is
available when purchasing this product in conjunction with a standard 3M
Privacy Filter.
