Smart devices, mobile phones and tablets are becoming the control hub for the myriad of connected devices and the Internet of Things (IoT) – as are bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies in many organizations today. But this is creating unique and heightened security risks for IT professionals, such as higher exposure to data breaches, malware and compliance violations. BYOD is no longer an industry trend; it’s a fact of life for enterprise-wide operations and the IT organizations that must support them.
Banks and government agencies have long been searching for a way to definitively answer the question: who is transacting? While non-teller-assisted services are expanding, so are threats to security and identity. Thankfully, the promise of biometrics has finally been realized, allowing more people to safely transact…anywhere.
