"Companies with Zero-Trust Network Security Move Toward Biometric Authentication"

New research reveals that organizations with zero-trust network security are increasingly utilizing biometrics to verify users' access to business applications. Zero-trust security refers to an approach in which individuals and devices are not trusted until they are verified, despite whether they are inside or outside of the network perimeter. According to the 2019 Duo Trusted Access Report, biometrics have been enabled on most mobile devices used to access business applications. In addition there has been a slight decrease in the use of SMS-based two-factor authentication. This article continues to discuss what has created challenges for enterprise IT security teams over the years, early efforts to address these challenges, the zero-trust security principle, and the increased use of biometric authentication.
