Security is top concern for all business owners. Issues related to protecting trade secrets, confidential information, company information and customer data continue to be problematic, especially as hackers learn new ways to defeat security measures. In addition to utilizing enhances security techniques, such as two-factor authentication (2FA). Artificial Intelligence recognizes a user's keystrokes and habits to provide additional security. Currently a big debate raging about whether Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a good or bad thing in terms of its impact on human life, with more and more enterprises using AI for their needs. Biometric logins are increasingly being used to create secure logins by either scanning fingerprints, retina or palm prints. This can be used alone or in conjunction with a password and is already being used in most new smart phones. Biometrics is a method of providing authentication through measurable physical characteristics. It uses characteristics of the body as a method to code or scramble/descramble data. Physical characteristics such as fingerprints, retinas and irises, palm prints, handwritten signature, wrist veins, facial structure, and voice recognition are just some of the many methods of biometric encryption in use today. Since these characteristics are unique to each individual, biometrics are seen as the answer to combat theft and fraud, particularly when dealing with commerce over the Internet. The reason that this new technology is believed to be superior to the use of passwords or personal identification numbers (PINs) is that a biometric trait cannot be lost, stolen, or recreated, at least not easily. It is based on the concept that 'you are your own password'. Soon, this kind of request may become a daily reality. Today, so many transactions and exchanges happen electronically, it is necessary to prove to a machine that you are who you claim to be. The current options are not the best way to protect private information. People loose cards, forget passwords, or write PIN numbers on a piece of paper for everyone to see. The way to keep information secure is to offer up a piece of yourself-a biometric identifier-to be recorded and used to verify your identity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
