Pros of Biometrics Technology for Enterprises

Even if biometrics is the way to go regarding enterprise's IT security, there are a few skepticals and naysayers. 

Here are a few points to consider on the pro side of biometrics:

-convenience

-security

-usability

By using the "old" technology to protect data or other goods, if using a password system, it is only logical that the only upgrade available for that form of protection is implementing a password policy. Meaning the password will be changed every "X" time e.g. every 2 weeks, a new password will be used to be granted access. 

This can be very frustrating and inefficient as people tend to forget passwords and if so, would require help to require a new one if forgotten. The convenience of having a biometric security system is the fact that, to be granted access you are your own password. This, of course, enhances security because every human is unique and there is no 2 person alike in this world. Therefore, making it next to impossible for anyone other than the "true" user to access an account, computer, vault, etc. Finally, usability; there are so many different biometrics available that the choice is completely up to the user to choose what is most convenient for them. From leaving fingerprints to iris scanners or even voice recognition, it is up to the user's convenience to use whichever form of biometric he/she wants.
