Biometric Frontiers: Unlocking The Future Of Engagement - Andras Cser, Enza Iannopollo - ASW #308

Application Security Weekly (Audio)

This week's interview dives deep into the state of biometrics with two Forrester Research analysts!

This discussion compares and contrasts regional approaches to biometrics; examine the security challenges and benefits of their implementation; and reveal how biometrics holds the keys to a range of engagement models of the future.

Andras Cser dives into the technical end of things and explains how biometrics can be resilient to attack. We can't replace our fingerprints or faces, but as Andras explains, there's no need to, thanks to how biometrics actually work. Then, Enza takes us through the latest on privacy in biometrics - a concern for both consumers, and businesses tasked with complying with privacy regulations and avoiding costly fines.

Finally, get a sneak peek into the upcoming Forrester Security & Risk Summit. Whether you're an industry professional or just curious about the implications of biometrics, this episode delivers insights you won't want to miss!

This week, in the Application Security News, we dismiss magical thinking and discuss what generative AI will actually be able to do for us.
