Unisys predicts increased focus on biometrics, data protection in 2010
Unisys has released its forecast, saying that 2010 will be the year of a biometrics boom, while organizations will have to go more on the offensive when it comes to protecting their data.
Patricia Titus is CISO of Unisys Federal Systems and explains why.
“What we’re starting to see is is a trend toward organizations wanting to use that device that is always on, always on [a person] to be able to communicate and send important information. In some cases, they’re being used for transactions. It’s a unique ability. It’s very efficient. . . . Unfortunately, we’re also starting to see an increase in malware and spyware.”
She added that it’s not just banks and financial institutions. Law enforcement agencies and officials are taking advantage of the smaller devices and their increased mobility, as well.
