Not Planning on Using Biometrics as Part of Your IAM and BYOD Strategies? Plan on Getting Breached

As BYOD becomes more prevalent in our world, enrollment in online higher education programs is on the rise. Mobility requires device-based authentication and certainty that any device is held by an authorized user, or inevitably a breach of the university network will occur. Biometrics ensures the right user, but there are risks such as relative authentication strength of different biometrics and movements like FIDO to consider. A wide range of biometrics is available, but selecting options and comparing them can be difficult. This session will discuss real-world tests, the risks and benefits of architecting biometric storage, and best practices for implementation.

Outcomes: Understand the pitfalls, risks, and benefits of using biometrics * Understand the requirements needed to plan and architect device-based authentication * Get biometric data from the International Center for Biometric Research at Purdue
