The fingerprint identification is quite accurate and had been easy to be chosen since the majority is already familiar with it.

In any case, it gives probably less accurate results under changing the lighting conditions or under different expressions of the face and raises some problems regarding the privacy of a person.

  Data breaches posses huge risks to organisations and they are required to report incident within 72hours of discovery. The breach needs to be contained as soon the organisation realises a data breach has occurred and identify how the incident occurred so that further damage could be mitigated.in some instances, individuals whose data is breached will need to notified about the situation. Individuals will be advised to change their passwords and be aware of any unusual activity on tier account.
