Biometrics and Cybersecurity

Course Description

Technology simplifies many things, but security is always a problem with the advancement of technology. Cybersecurity is the protection of a computer against data theft, corruption, and loss. Biometric security is quickly becoming the preferred method of protecting businesses and individuals from hackers intent on fraud and identity theft. Fingerprint readers, iris scans, and facial recognition have become commonplace, thanks to the efforts of technology companies such as Apple. This technology provides substantial benefits in the battle against cybercrime, but it is not without risks.
