Common Sense Security
January 2017
No piece of information security technology, like biometrics (fingerprint scanners, facial recognition, etc.), is totally secure. There is always a way to enter, bypass, fool or otherwise render security ineffective. At the same time, we can’t just sit around and wait for it to improve, just like we can’t sit around waiting for tech companies to enhance security features, or for governments to regulate tech companies. As always, security awareness and implementation is a non-technical, human process with an end goal of improving our security behavior. Once we understand the problem, the solution becomes as simple as common sense. Let’s change our habits and become security assets instead of liabilities.
