Biometrics: The New Logic Behind Customer Trust and Business Transactions
As a result, building a level of trust between businesses and customers has become absolutely essential. And as it turns out, this is also a point of concern as irrefutable, easy to use, and non-invasive technological measures need to be put in place that will allow businesses (and other organizations) to easily know their customers without risking the security of these consumers. Based on the projections made by Gartner within their 2024 publication of the identity and access management report, the need to strike this balance has now turned into business language as it has a stake in the revenue generated by the organization.
Disrupting The Belief Architecture When It Comes To The Virtual World
What perhaps is most staggering about the traditional perspective can be ascertained to its inception – business perspectives were to end customers always rooted and embedded in processes, roles and hierarchies leading to customers needing to navigate mud underwater with layers of distractions. Because to quote a recent McKinsey study, because customers abandon the entire authentication process due to its complexity, businesses are actually losing $3.5 billion in revenue generating opportunities, and this is within the financial services sector. Therefore, there can no longer be any assumptions as to why the modern consumers perspective of businesses that utilize conventional identity verification processes are in absolute disarray.
Focusing on the obvious as to why conventional terms are called traditional governance elevates the conversation into the bearable frustration where the epiphanies can occur. Because having a conventional approach is exactly what expecting continuous perfection feels like. Convoluted operations that are fully reliant on human capabilities are the weakest point because they are the biggest drivers of inefficiencies in operational expenditures while maintaining security. The thought of being able or in support of instant identity verification is exhilarating, because imagine having to explain to a five year old why waiting up to or past a couple of days for verification is possible. To add on, crowds waiting to be scammed had obliterated the limitations of various password systems and documentary verification to non-existent.
The Biometric Revolution: Beyond Passwords
Biometric authentication is one of them. It is a technology which is still catching the eye of many as it is changing the dynamic of how organizations deal with identity verification. Biometric markers are not only better than passwords or security questions but they are also more secure and more convenient. Because they can’t be remember, have a very high chance of being replicated, and allow for intuitive use which is expected of today’s consumers.
This change is evident since it is far-reaching. The 2024 Identity Security Report from Forrester states that businesses that invest in advanced biometric technologies see identity fraud attempts drop by 76% alongside an increase in customer satisfaction ratings. The combination of increased security and better experience for the user is unmatched and that is why we are seeing such high levels of adoption across all sectors.
Building Trust Through Innovation
At no point in time has the relationship between technology and trust been more important. The 2024 Digital Trust Report from the World Economic Forum provides a very significant detail; 82% of consumers would rather trust an organization that employs midi biometric security technology. This metric hints on a paradigm shift in how consumers view things — now banks or mobile devices or even government’s sophisticated security measures are not looked upon as a restriction but rather an integral indicator which speaks volumes about the organization in terms of business and more importantly the customers’ interest.
By combining innovative secure structures with comprehensive data policies, contemporary biometric approaches are able to achieve this. The concert of end-to-end encryption, decentralized data storage, and AI based fraud detection system enables a robust security structure. And, this is where innovation comes: how to combine such complex technologies in order to provide simple and straightforward user interfaces.
Digital identity and its future
New technologies in the scope of digital identity are sure to gain further development over time. Behavioral biometrics, continuous authentication and quantum resistant encryption are concepts of not far away future rather than an unreached goal. The world has to get ready where the idea of authentication gets completely transformed and made invisible while the authentication systems are made minimal yet the most secured.
At the same time, the regulatory environment is also changing with new frameworks appearing across the world. From GDPRs particular normative provisions on biometric data to NISTs guidelines with all assurance levels, compliance standards are becoming more comprehensive. Society requires tools that are not only able to satisfy the already existing regulations but will also be able to cater for any changes needed in the future compliance.
Transforming Customer Experiences
In order to fully grasp the impact of State of the Art biometric authentication, security implications should not be the sole focus. Across the customer journey, organizations adopting these solutions are able to witness radical change. Up to 65% decrease in the onboarding time with 83% fewer tickets created for authentication issues. To put the icing on the cake, biometric log ins receive a staggering customer satisfaction rate of 92 percent.
