Last week FindBiometrics brought biometrics to Money20/20 once again with a panel on the topic of strong authentication and identity management in finance. We brought Mobile Identity Month to a close last week too with a look at how mobile biometrics are being applied in vertical markets while the headlines covered everything from eye-based modalities on smartphones to border control news.
Here is a look back on last week’s top stories in global identity management
Money20/20
For the second year in a row biometric tech was a huge topic at Money20/20 in Las Vegas, and FindBiometrics played an important role in bringing the booming technology to the forefront of discussion. FindBiometrics president Peter O’Neill hosted a panel last Monday that helped set the tone for the very biometrics focused FinTech conference. New product launches were abound, with facial recognition, behavioral analysis, voice and mobility all taking their share of the spotlight. The turnout was massive to the event and the biometrics panel, with Money20/20 yet again helping show how important strong authentication has become in the financial services industry.
