Webinar: What’s the Cost of a Strong Password? Playback of the Tuesday, April 5th 2011 LIVE webinar with a Q&A session on the topic of what it's costing organizations to not have a strong password securing their enterprise. Our Panel of Experts will Discuss the Following Topics: Cost of a breach: from incident to organization. Our team of experts will talk about trends in the industry from a newly released study showing the cost of a data breach increasing 5% to $214 per record, to the average cost per organization increasing 7% in 2010, why these breaches are growing in number and what damage are they causing What are enterprises and individuals using for securing their data and devices? We will review passwords, pins, tokens, biometrics, two and multi-factor authentication and how effective they are including third party testing results Changing regulations in the industry: Our experts will talk about the changing security requirements to reduce risk in the private and public sector including DEA, DHS, Education Act, FFIEC, HIPAA, SOX GLBA, and why multi-factor authentication is being sought to replace current methods Using BiometricsWe will demonstrate a newly patented technology using gesture biometrics, examine its high rate of accuracy and application for multi-factor authentication

BSI Recommends all Multi-Factor Authentication include “Gesture” Biometrics to Prevent Data Breaches to Existing Secure Systems for Highest Cyber Security

March 22, 2011  |   Biometric Signature,BioSig-ID,BSI Press Release   |     |   Comments Off

BSI Recommends all Multi-Factor Authentication include “Gesture” Biometrics to Prevent Data Breaches to Existing Secure Systems for Highest Cyber Security Biometric Signature ID believes that the next level in preventing data breaches to secure systems begins with the individual and that organizations need to add a “gesture biometric” to the “multi-factor” authentication process which focuses on “who” the person is while making sure they are authorized to use that password or token to gain access. Biometric Signature ID, Inc. (BSI) announced today it is recommending that all organizations incorporate multi-factor authentication using “gesture” biometrics to obtain the level of security needed to stop unauthorized access to their systems and devices. Passwords, pins, and tokens can be easily compromised and need to be combined with a “gesture” biometric that is unique to the individual, is always with the user and cannot be lost or stolen. Recent breaches in the healthcare, government, banking, and Internet communities prove this as a necessary requirement including the breach last week at RSA where information about RSA's SecurID was compromised. With top security experts from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Pentagon, the Government Accountability Office (GAO), National Security Agency (NSA), and U.S. Cyber Command testifying before Congress recently about the current state of information security (Infosec) being at constant threat with no new ideas or solutions ...
