Data security breach has become a real problem
The Equifax data breach of September 2017 may create severe problems to millions of people in the US. The data hackers may use the data now or anytime in the future!
Yahoo says all 3 billion user accounts were impacted by 2013 security breach
Yahoo security breach of 2016 and 2013 are not long ago. Many senior officials resigned. Even the CEO lost her cash bonus over the security breach. Resignations throughout the c-suite solve nothing. What’s needed is a robust strategy for data security.
Biometric data security strategy may help
Biometric data security strategy may help to improve the situation. But then the biometric data are vulnerable to personal identity leaks. The biometric data can also be stolen from the data centers. How to surmount this problem?
Privacy protection of biometric data can be a solution
Biometric data is vulnerable to stealing and hacking unless the data are privacy protected. The hackers can't utilize the hacked data if the data are privacy protected.
Privacy protection of biometric data is a new challenge
Privacy protection of biometric data is a new challenge. Incidentally, my research has recently been focused on privacy protected multimodal biometric security. I am available to consult with global companies who need to enhance their biometric security.

7 年The recent Aadhaar scam in India is a Data Protection and Privacy problem ... the government completely failed to protect the precious data of the citizens. That caused a serious problems in banking and financial sectors. There were several fraudulent transactions from the bank accounts of the common people. #Aadhaar #DataBreach #India

7 年Isn′t it rather a serious problem than a "challenge"? A challenge is something positive!
