Biometric Authentication
Biometric authentication refers to identifying a person based on their physical or behavioral characteristics. These characteristics could include fingerprints, retina scans, face recognition, and voice identification. Biometric authentication is more secure than traditional passwords and PINs because the traits are unique and cannot be easily guessed or stolen.
What Small and Midsize Businesses Need to Know About Biometric Authentication
Businesses should consider using biometric authentication as an added layer of protection for their networks and customer data. This authentication method is more secure than traditional passwords and username logins, which are easily guessed or compromised. However, it can also be more expensive for small to midsize businesses to implement.
