This past week at FindBiometrics we were bringing the the news to you from Las Vegas, straight from the exhibition floor of ISC West. Physical Access Month continued on in the featured articles section as we prepared for next week’s exclusive webinar, Balancing Convenience and Security in Biometric Access Control. Of course, it wasn’t all physical security this week, the headlines also brought us news from financial and healthcare markets as well as new biometrics research.
Here are the top stories from the week that was:
