Biometrics and Security - Implications for the Enterprise
Biometrics: the word alone conjures the enormous post-9/11 hype over facial recognition. However, biometric technologies go beyond facial recognition and include automated means of recognizing a person based on facial, fingerprint, hand geometry, iris, retinal and even voice signatures. A number of companies are working on making biometrics a part of mainstream identification systems. Faced with an increasing array of choices, enterprises are beginning to include biometrics as part of their overall security strategy depending on how critical individual applications are to their overall operation.
How should this emerging technology fit within an enterprise's IT strategy ? What are the privacy implications? Is the market opportunity large enough to support the dozens of new (and old) companies that have jumped into this segment ?
