Veridium found that among the surveyed companies, which included retailers that experienced a data breach, 63% are implementing or planning to add biometric authentication to prevent another one.
According to the data, 99% of IT decision makers reported that they are currently using passwords in their organizations and 81% of IT decision makers think biometric authentication secures their company’s data better than passwords alone. Yet, only 34% of respondents are very confident that passwords alone can protect data sufficiently.
The main reasons influencing their usage of biometric authentication include overall better security (63%), increased workforce productivity (54%), and better accessibility (50%), the study revealed.
The study was conducted among 200 US senior IT decision makers who work in various industries, including retail, manufacturing and finance, among others.
