1. Biometric Trends for 2022
Bahaa Abdul Hadi through this story intends to state that biometrics is becoming
increasingly popular thanks to the security risks like cyberattacks and data breaches.
The use of biometrics helps in increased security, which is why it is widely adopted
today by all companies.
It is important to know the latest biometric trends of 2022, so you can be prepared for
the same.
2022 Biometric trends
From his experience Bahaa Abdul Had feels that the following will be the right trends for
2022:
Cloud Based Biometric
Biometric data can be saved on the cloud when cloud-based biometric is implemented.
This offers various benefits. First, it allows for parallel processing, so multiple people
can simultaneously use the same data. It allows users to access storage, networks,
servers, and applications from anywhere. It also ensures a faster speed than the
traditional biometric system.
Multimodal authentication
With increasing risks, there is a need to make biometric security more secure.
Multimodal authentication adds an extra layer of security by using different features like
fingerprint, iris, voice, and signature. It ensures the following benefits:
● Improved accuracy since multimodal or more than biometric features would be
used for the authentication.
● Since two modes are used, the system is more secure.
● It allows for more flexibility since a single modality is used for threshold security
settings.
Behavioral Biometrics
A popular trend today is behavioral biometrics. It makes use of cognitive behavior,
which includes keystroke dynamics, voice recognition, and gait analysis. While it calls
for the use of another modality for authentication, it offers many benefits like:

2. ● Background passive verification.
● Helps in improved user privacy.
● Allows passive enrolment of users by websites.
Biometric trends in different industries
Biometric authentication is being used increasingly in different sectors. Earlier the
banking sector was the first to use biometrics. Today, it has become common and is
used in different sectors. Bahaa Abdul Hadi shares his observations from different
industries as stated below:
Finance and Banking
The use of biometric authentication will increase in the banking and financial sector.
While earlier, only the fingerprint was used for authentication, today companies are
using multifactor authentication for enhanced security. More effort is needed in this area,
since security risks are increasing every day.
Healthcare
Hospitals and healthcare institutions are using fingerprint and iris scanners to
authenticate patient identity. The use of biometrics enables medical staff to conveniently
access patient medical records
Law enforcement
Law enforcement agencies are increasingly using biometrics to identification. Biometrics
of convicted persons are being used to create a database that would be helpful in
effective law enforcement. Apart from fingerprints, DNA, iris patterns, and speech
recognition is also being used.
Thank you for your time.
