cybersecurity<\/a> solution, you need to evaluate your current cybersecurity platforms. Integration issues between products and solutions can create new security holes in your network for hackers to exploit. Therefore, you should have your IT security team determine whether your selected biometric authentication solution will work well your endpoint security, SIEM, and identity solutions if you have any. <\/span><\/p>\nWhile examining your integration, your IT team should also determine whether your selected biometric solution will fit with your current security policies. This may raise questions, including: <\/span><\/p>\n\n- Will biometric authentication be incorporated into your single single-on? <\/span><\/li>\n
- Will it be the initial criteria for entry into the network? Or will it be deployed only to secure high priority or proprietary databases? <\/span><\/li>\n
- How will biometric factor information be stored? Will they be saved alongside employee passwords or in a separate database? In an on-premises server or on the cloud? <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Preparing to deploy a biometric authentication solution shouldn\u2019t end with the digital environment though; it must also extend to the analog world. You must have a clear sense of your on-premises endpoints, your most-likely security risks, expected number of end users, expected number of privileged users, and the location of your existing data before you can determine the right biometric authentication solution. Without this evaluation, you won\u2019t have the sense of how your solution needs to scale and where it must prioritize security. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nStart with an Internal Sample Group<\/b><\/h3>\n
Deploying any solution, cybersecurity-related or otherwise, can prove a daunting process for enterprises of any size; even small enterprises have to factor in third-party actors and vendors entering your network. Deployment and adoption require time, energy, and resources\u2014none of which are easily recovered. After you deploy a biometric authentication solution if you discover it is inadequate or detrimental, replacing it can cost more than heartache. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nTherefore, before you deploy a biometric authentication solution, it is best practice to start small and to test prior to full deployment. This often involves selecting a sample of random employees within your enterprise to try your selected solution for a few weeks. <\/span><\/p>\nBy doing so, you can see how much faster or slower they are in their authentication, whether they encounter difficulties in their business processes, and where you will need to improve the solution\u2019s implementation before full deployment. You can also learn if the solution is as effective as you believed and whether another choice is warranted.<\/span><\/p>\nAs a side note, these selected employees should not be from the same department as that could clog up vital parts of your business processes. Additionally, you can be selective about where you deploy a biometric authentication solution; not every department and area of the network will need it. Why lock down what was never in danger?<\/span><\/p>\n
