However, these sci-fi applications are no longer just a part of the big screen. Driven by the need to find better ways to identify people, increase the security of environments that store personal information, and protect confidential data against hacks and thefts, advanced biometric innovations are making its way across the security sector in recent years. While the most common applications of biometrics include personal device security such as unlocking smartphones using fingerprint technology or even facial recognition, companies are utilizing biometrics to identify employees. But its deployment does not end there. The evolution of biometrics as a tool of authentication is felt by consumers especially in the financial sector in the form of fingerprint scanners, voice recognition software, iris scanners, and even heartbeat monitors, which are used to access different accounts and make purchases. On the other hand, banks, fintech companies, or telecom operators can make customer mandatory KYC checks in a faster and efficient manner using biometrics. In a move to increase security and accuracy, multimodal biometrics combining several biometric sources are being deployed to overcome the limitations encountered in unimodal systems. Biometrics have also shown up in airports and border crossing points across the world as they improve the speed and efficiency of check-ins and bag-drops while maintaining high levels of security. In times such as these, where work from home is becoming the new normal, it is vital for businesses to keep themselves updated on the latest developments in biometric technologies. By featuring some of the best biometric companies in the industry in this edition of Enterprise Security Magazine, we hope to help you in choosing the right biometric partners that will meet your requirements going forward.
