Most people are pretty familiar with biometrics at this point. You scan your thumbprint, iris, or face as a way of identifying yourself and accessing a device or application. It’s a simple but effective way to add an extra security factor on top of a password or one-time passcode. But what if we could go a step further and identify someone through their behavior?
This week, Specops Software published an analysis on behavioral biometric authentication methods as well as their security efficacy in comparison to a more traditional method — passwords.
The analysis looks at common types of biometrics, recent innovations to this technology, and the advantages of biometrics for end users and organizations alike. The piece also dives into how hackers might exploit behavioral biometrics and whether these are more secure than passwords, and how.
