As connectivity continues to spread across the globe, it is clear that old security methods are simply not strong enough to protect what’s most important. Thankfully, biometric technology is more accessible than ever before, ready to bring enhanced security and greater convenience to whatever needs protecting, from a door, to your car to the PIN […]
Time and attendance systems are designed to keep track of who is where and when they’re there. Biometric solutions have become increasingly popular in this area as employers have come to recognize the limitations and drawbacks of conventional approaches to time and attendance tracking: written and typed logs of employee attendance are prone to human […]
A key area of application for biometric technology is at the border. Anyone who’s traveled by air can tell you security checkpoints border crossings are some of the most frustrating places to have to move through. Thankfully, biometric technology is helping automate the process. Trusted passenger screening initiatives and automated eGates and kiosks are helping […]
The mobile biometrics revolution of the last several years has put biometric technology into the pockets of mainstream consumers. After Apple blazed a trail with its introduction of the Touch ID fingerprint scanning system, a range of other smartphone makers followed suit; more recently, mobile-based facial recognition has been rising in prominence – again thanks […]
The financial services sector has been one of the fastest to embrace biometric technologies, which offer benefits across a wide range of application areas. This is largely attributable to the wave of digitization that has swept across the sector in recent years.
