Biometrics: From Head to Toe

FPF is pleased to offer the training topic: Biometrics: From Head to Toe to you and your team.

Biometric technologies measure physical characteristics and apply statistical analysis to identify an individual, verify identity, or make related inferences.  Biometrics are often used to unlock smartphones, access bank accounts, travel, and enter physical workspaces.  Biometric systems can increase security and enhance products.  At the same time, they rely on highly sensitive information, can create serious privacy risks, and raise important questions about compliance with legal, ethical, and business frameworks.
