In the ongoing quest for secure authentication and data protection, iris-based identity authentication solutions stand out as one of the most the innovative and reliable tools. And given the legal industry’s relationship with clients at the forefront of data protection technologies, this technology may soon become the standard for many law firms and legal departments.
“Just in the past three years or so we have seen a rapid interest around biometrics as a growing market segment, said Tony Antolino, chief marketing and business development officer at Eyelock. “If we take [the legal industry]] as it related to financial services or healthcare, what we know is that the regulations that are coming down mandate that the law firms use, or meet the same requirement as their banking clients. So if a bank has a certain amount of regulation required to protect consumer data, privacy of their information, etc., law firms that are servicing those banks … have to follow the same guidelines. And same thing goes for health care. And we are seeing a rapid acceleration of adoption [of this technology] among the law community.”
