Year: 2018

Overview

Did you ever wonder if you should invest in Biometrics or some other form of multi-factor authentication?  For about $400, you can test your ID badges and help determine what the likelihood of a bad actor or bad guy would steal a badge and attempt to impersonate an employee.  This presentation is designed to help you take the first step – testing the badges.  Once you have determined if you are at risk, you can choose the data created from this test and build a use case.  The use case might help you request resources such as people or equipment, give your company a sense of urgency, and help promote a layered defense.
