Dynamics

Rising AI-based Security

For years, biometric authentication technology has been a significant business development, particularly in 2021 due to the latest AI innovations on the market. According to IBM, compromised credentials cause 20% of breaches. Worse, detecting and responding to a data breach can take an average of 287 days. AI-based security is becoming more popular and will be required to remain competitive in any business.

According to IBM, by 2021, 25% of enterprises will have completed AI-based security implementation, while 40% will be partially implemented. The remaining 35% have not initiated this procedure and if your company falls into this group, your clients may be at risk of dangerous data breaches. In 2021, investing in AI-based security saved a company up to US$ 3.81 million. Furthermore, IBM's research demonstrates that proper use of AI security platforms will cost enterprises less.

Rising Behavioral Biometrics

Behavioral biometric technology is one of the most intriguing trends enabled by artificial intelligence. It employs distinct behavioral aspects of how they interact with the world, which the user may be unaware of. It is one of the most effective lines of defense against attempted deep fake fraud.

BeCAPTCHA, a bot detection system based on behavioral biometrics, was created by the Autonomous University of Madrid's Biometrics and Data Pattern Analytics Lab. It's certainly plausible that behavioral biometrics may be utilized without the user's knowledge, removing the need for vexing tests of the user's humanity, as CAPTCHA difficulties have done for years.

Importantly, behavioral biometrics can help ensure security during a session. For example, if a user authenticates themselves and then exits the room, inadvertently allowing an unauthorized user access to their computer, this is a severe security concern. However, behavioral biometrics can detect the second user's inconsistent behavior and dynamically restrict their access, fueling demand for AI-enabled biometrics.

Growing Cyberattacks

AI-enabled biometric systems are not always totally accurate and their performance can be influenced by factors such as lighting, environmental noise and differences in user attributes. False positives and negatives can be troublesome. As machine learning and AI skills are becoming more pervasive in daily life, cybercriminals are becoming cleverer, both in terms of defining the aims of their assaults and the tech tools they utilize.

Because AI has improved thieves' approaches, they now assault systems ruthlessly and consistently on a daily basis, focusing on weak places. Deepfake is an example of an AI-based cyberattack that is used to compromise identification systems by imitating victims' face features. As a result, the development of these complex threats will increase.

Segment Analysis

The global AI-enabled biometrics market is segmented based modalities, end-user, application and region.
