Paygilant: You Need More Than Behavioral Biometrics in Mobile Payments Payment Week
A new report from Paygilant suggests that a behavior-based biometrics platform alone is not enough to secure mobile payments. Customers want both convenience and security, but too much security can eliminate convenience. Biometrics, such as voiceprints or thumbprints, were initially seen as the ultimate solution, but they can be simulated by hackers. The study highlights the need for multiple security methods and continual refinement to ensure system safety.
