Question 55
Your organization is implementing an authentication system that uses biometrics to provide high-security access for executives who manage highly sensitive data. The system will use facial recognition as the primary method of authentication. Which of the following is NOT a valid consideration when implementing this biometric authentication system?

Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: C
Explanation
OBJ. 5.6 - Reusing fingerprint scanners for a facial recognition system is not a valid consideration, as these are two different biometric technologies requiring distinct hardware. Facial recognition systems rely on cameras and different processing methods. Backup authentication methods, privacy compliance, and data protection are all critical considerations for implementing biometric systems, as they directly affect the security and usability of the system.
