Unisys asks European consumers what they really worry about in the area of security and would they welcome biometric technology to combat these fears in its first consumer vox pop
Organisations across Europe and elsewhere are starting to explore biometric solutions such as fingerprint, iris and handprint scanning, moving away from the trial stage to actual deployments. But are consumers really ready for this? Is there a lack of education about the use of biometrics and a basic psychological fear that needs to be overcome before the full benefits of this technology can be realised? Rene Head, Director of Enterprise Security in Continental Europe, Unisys Continental Europe, outlines the current market for biometrics and offers guidelines to businesses and Governments looking to take this route.
