Identity Crash Course: Top Five Biometric Security Trends

Wednesday, Nov. 16, 11:30 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.

This session will feature expert insights from leaders in the identity industry that breaks down the major forces in identity and biometrics impacting the world of physical and logical security/cybersecurity.

“As biometrics continue to become mainstream, we should be concentrating on the integrity and privacy by design within a solution. Whilst your identity is the universal key to unlocking life’s experiences, your identity belongs to you alone and your mission should be to protect your identity through life’s journey. Delivering identity with integrity is paramount in developing and earning trust on a daily basis when deploying biometrics. Biometrics will experience hyper-growth over the next five years, as this will become the de facto standard for unlocking billions of transactions each day.”
