Systems using biometric information to enhance security and authentication processes are being deployed throughout the world. Biometric technology can provide more robust, advanced security, but it carries an increased risk.

If compromised, biometric data can be used to steal identities, hack systems, and commit myriad privacy violations.  Legislatures throughout the U.S. are enacting statutes that require companies that collect this information to protect it as well.
