Biometrics: The Time Has Come

Biometrics once seemed like magic directly out of a science fiction movie, but with fingerprint readers or facial recognition systems found on many of today's smartphones, tablets, and laptops, consumers are becoming more and more accustomed to using biometric systems in place of passwords or passcodes. This custom report excerpt, prepared by Aite Group for NuData Security, looks at what biometrics are, including business benefits, compliance and legal considerations, and how users may be authenticated using biometrics. Key biometric considerations are included in the report, focusing on vendor selection and deployment. An overview of NuData Security's solution and report conclusion round out the paper.
