A company is issuing laptops to its employees for remote work. The IT department is required to select a physical security feature that allows for secure and unique user authentication while minimizing the risk of unauthorized access. Which of the following solutions would provide the BEST balance between convenience and security?
Biometric authentication is considered an effective balance between convenience and security because it uses unique physical characteristics of the user, such as fingerprints, which are difficult to duplicate and do not require the user to remember a password. This makes it more convenient than traditional password systems but also provides a high level of security. Traditional passwords can be guessed or cracked, smart cards can be lost or stolen, and visual pattern locks are less secure and can often be easily guessed or observed.
