ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet

Facial recognition was rated as the worst tool for authentication by a fifth of respondents in a recent survey of the hacking community—six times more often than fingerprint authentication.

It’s an interesting insight given the new iPhone’s shift to face-recognition security. In fact, facial recognition (19%) was ranked the second-worst tool overall, according to the Bitglass Data Games: Security Blind Spots report, which surveyed 129 white hat and black hat hackers that attended Black Hat 2017. Password-protected documents (33%) were ranked as the least effective security tool.

Other problematic approaches in the hackers’ view were access controls in general (15.5%); mobile device management and network firewalls (11.6% each). Fingerprint authentication was seen as an ineffective tool by only 3.1%.
