99 | The Power of Choice for Authentication

In this episode of ADCG on Privacy & Security podcast, host Jody Westby is joined by Sabrina Gross, regional director of strategic partners at Veridas. Sabrina has worked globally and spent 15 years working with law enforcement agencies in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. At Veridas, Sabrina focuses on cutting-edge technologies that are used for authentication and to prevent identity fraud. We discuss the importance of having a choice of authentication options, limitations of various devices, the pros and cons of facial recognition, fingerprints, and voice as authentication methods, what companies should look for in a biometrics provider, security factors, customer preferences, and more. We drill down into the role of state privacy laws and the circumstances under which a business should consider multiple, layered verification methods.
