Tuesday, October 15 saw over 110 people gather for the Biometrics Institute
This event comes after a string of meetings organised by The Biometrics Institute. The institute says that it’s targeting end user sectors such as financial services, aviation and government.
Earlier this month, the Biometrics Institute held an ‘Identities at the Borders Seminar’ in Brussels. There were questions raised about risk management and discussion around whether visas should still be linked to nationality or whether other risk criteria should be selected. There was also focus on data protection and data sharing and whether we could see a central system (not central database) that could create the equivalent of the “United States of Europe”. The institute has already announced there will be a follow-up seminar on April 29, 2014, again in Brussels.
Isabelle Moeller, Chief Exectutive of the Biometrics Institute, said: “Richard Rinkens from the European Commission has already confirmed his attendance for the April 2014 seminar. This seminar forms part of a range of events scheduled to promote the responsible use of biometrics, best-practice implementations as well as the need for the adoption of biometrics vulnerability testing.”
The Biometrics Institute looks forward to announcing dates for other events for Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the USA including one targeting the financial services sector (following a very successful ‘Combatting Fraud in Financial Services’ Seminar in June 2013) and a cross industry mobile event.
