� PREDICTIVE INTELLIGENCE While it is true that we have made great strides in standards and technological innovation over the last 10 years, we are still in the early stages of the biometrics revolution. organisations confirm customers’ identities in the background. The road is long but the benefits are many So while Gartner estimates that by 2022, 60% of large and 90% of midsize enterprises will implement passwordless authentication in more than 50% of use cases, it is still true that many businesses are struggling to end their reliance on the username/password model. By evaluating when authorisation is actually necessary using a confirmation mindset and adjusting customer journeys accordingly, organisations can lay the foundation for when behavioural biometrics become widespread to fully eradicate passwords and usernames. In the end, for users, this will remove the need to remember or type passwords or usernames, leading to better user experiences and, for organisations, there will no longer be a need to store passwords/usernames, leading to better security, fewer breaches and lower support costs. u www.intelligentciso.com | Issue 29 35
