Title: Advancing Security: Innovations in Biometrics and AI for Network Protection
Abstract:
In an era of rapidly evolving cyber threats, traditional security measures are no longer sufficient to safeguard critical networks and sensitive information. This keynote explores the transformative role of biometric technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) in strengthening network security. By combining unique human traits, such as vein patterns and facial features, with AI-driven analysis, biometric systems offer unparalleled accuracy and resilience against sophisticated attacks.
The presentation will delve into recent advancements in contactless biometrics, hybrid recognition techniques, and deep learning algorithms that enhance both authentication and intrusion detection. Additionally, it will highlight case studies illustrating the successful integration of biometrics into network infrastructures, addressing challenges such as data privacy, scalability, and adaptability to dynamic threat landscapes.
Attendees will gain insights into cutting-edge research and practical applications, along with a vision for future innovations that can redefine the security paradigm. This keynote invites researchers, practitioners, and industry leaders to explore how biometrics and AI can work together to build a more secure and intelligent digital ecosystem.
