Biometrics a help to technophobes and network administrators alike

Thursday, March 17, 2011

An interview with Ben Boulnois, regional manager for Europe, the Middle East and Africa at DigitalPersona , detailed how biometric technology adoption in the workplace can help smooth over issues technophobes have with their regular workplace technology as well as ease the job of network administrators, according to a SC Magazine article.

Additionally, Boulnois speaks of how biometrics can help technology conform to people rather than expecting people to conform to technology.


In this case, he points out that human brains are not wired for password memorization, which many biometric systems replace with a swipe of a fingerprint, scan of an iris or one of many other biometric modalities.

He also points out that biometric systems can be big money and time savers for network administration by removing the need for password recovery services.
