Apple’s new Face ID technology promises a security revolution for iPhone users — and it also promises to change all of enterprise security, eventually.

Face ID will be the catalyst that sets off a real revolution in data authentication
Similar technology eventually will filter down to devices of all kinds and enable organizations to provide their employees and customers with more secure experiences, protecting their data and keeping cybercrooks at bay.

That’s why, I believe, Face ID will be the catalyst that sets off a real revolution in data authentication.
