Security can be challenging, even when you have the requisite protections in place. Passwords are too easy to forget, and a fob or token can be misplaced. One thing that’s a lot harder to forget or lose, however: your fingerprint.
Why not take advantage of what you and your entire team inherently possess to help protect your business? Let’s dive into how biometrics—who you are—is quickly overtaking “what you know.”
## How Effective are Modern Biometrics?
In a word: very.
Let’s put it this way: there is about a one in 64 billion chance that your fingerprints have matched anyone’s, in all of human history. When you consider that only about 110 billion people have ever existed, the chances that your fingerprints are unique to you are pretty good.
Combine that with the fact that we can combine different biomarkers to boost security, and biometrics seem to be a no-brainer.
### What Options are Available for Biometric Authentication?
**Facial Recognition** - Between FaceID, Windows Hello, and other examples, there are plenty of opportunities for your tech to identify you by your facial features and register you as a verified user.
**Fingerprint Scanning** - With just a touch, we can open devices and confirm we are who we claim… and now there are even super-advanced scanners that—while certainly impractical in the SMB space—contactlessly scan the veins under the hand to confirm a user’s identity.
**Voice Patterns** - By going beyond the words spoken and matching a person’s cadence, pitch, and tone, verification can add even more confidence that the person speaking is who they claim to be (especially in remote cases).
## What About Privacy?
Let’s address the elephant in the room: it would make sense that, in order for biometrics to work, your company would need to possess the user’s biometric data. This thought might make your users hesitant to opt in or even resist your efforts to integrate biometrics.
Fortunately, the data—for instance, a reference image of a user’s face—isn’t stored in this raw, original form. Instead, it is converted into something called a *hash*. In essence, it becomes a math problem instead of a picture. Plus, it never leaves the hardware—it’s safely stored away, hidden even from the OS.
## Make 2026 the Year You Consider Biometrics
Why pick between convenience and security when there’s the option to get both? Better business protection is literally at your fingertips… and we’re here to help you grab it.
