Multimodal Biometrics: A Secure Solution On The Rise

"The Biometrics Institute's latest research reveals a significant shift in the industry towards using multiple biometric modalities for enhanced security. According to the report, multimodal biometrics has grown by 6% in 2024, reflecting a growing recognition of the need to address the increasing threat of deepfakes.

While face recognition remains the dominant technology, multimodal approaches are gaining traction as a more secure alternative. The upcoming Congress in London will focus on face, behavioral, iris, and voice biometrics, with discussions centered on the challenges posed by deepfakes.

In parallel, artificial intelligence is expected to become a major driver of the biometrics industry over the next five years. While digital identity currently leads, the rapid advancement of AI is poised to transform the sector.
