AI Biometric Authentication for Enterprise Security

Introduction

Biometric authentication technology has been an important industry trend for years, especially in 2021 due to the latest AI innovations available on the market. According to IBM, 20% of breaches are caused by compromised credentials. Worse, it can take an average of 287 days to identify and respond to a data breach.

AI-based security is increasing in usage and will be necessary to remain competitive in any industry. IBM reports that as of 2021, 25% of businesses have completed deployment of AI-based security, while 40% are partially deployed. The remaining 35% have not begun this process, and if your business falls into this category you may be placing your clients at great risk for dangerous data breaches. Investing in AI-based security can save a business up to $3.81 million in 2021.

What Will AI Bring to the Cybersecurity Space in 2022

Over the last year, artificial intelligence (AI) has become a huge part of our everyday lives, which is something of a mixed bag that has brought along a wide variety of both positive and negative influences. On one hand, there are algorithms that are designed to perform a largely marketing-related series of tasks, which are perhaps those best known to individuals outside of the technical space. Think of the algorithms curating your TikTok feed and personalizing suggestions on YouTube. The AI that calculates your fastest morning commute based on virtual maps, your vehicle, and current traffic conditions is also a fairly visible one that has had its share of media attention.

A particular area, though, in which AI has become crucial is cybersecurity. Cybercriminals are increasingly harnessing AI to automate breaches and crack complex systems. Sophisticated, large-scale social engineering attacks and deep fakes are prime examples of this trend. Perhaps more subtle techniques, such as those involving AI-driven data compression algorithms, will soon become an even more important part of the space in the year to come.

Biometric Authentication Penetrating in the IoT Industry

Entering into a new decade, new technological inventions are expected to mold the industry. Biometric technology is of such innovations. Though biometrics have been there for years now, the new transformations in this sector are going to bring a significant change in the human life and business market.

Biometrics is the measurement and analysis of people’s unique physical and behavioral characteristics. Being the unique features of an individual, it is extensively used to identify and verify individuals. This leads to a rise in biometric authentication as an identification form and access control. It means that based on the biometric data, the computers are able to search and store users’ data and takes seconds to verify and authenticate, and decide whether to allow or deny access.

How to Enable Sign-in With iOS Biometric Authentication

When developing a CloudEver app, I learned about iOS biometric authentication technologies, including Face ID and Touch ID. Then, I reviewed some apps with fingerprint sign-in features and found that many of them did not fully take advantages of iOS security capabilities. I would like to share my knowledge I've gained with the community, and I hope that the apps we use will be more and more secure.

Why Do We Need Authentication?

Most of the early Internet services mainly provided static content for everyone without login. Later, there were some dynamic services, such as forums, chat rooms, and so on. At that time, passwords were required for identity authentication. Since then, password authentication have been widely adopted by many Internet services.
