Our take
As cybersecurity attacks mount in number and severity, more novel security measures are needed across the globe. One of the frontrunners is biometrics, and a major champion of this approach is workplace wearable technology company Nymi.
Nymi has developed a series of wristbands that use fingerprint and heartbeat recognition technology to confirm wearer identity. These can then be used in place of passcodes and swipecards, offering more secure and efficient workplace solutions. The company has a reputable and secure track record, but public attitudes towards the privacy risks of wearables could affect adoption. Nevertheless, its seeing strong custom from enterprise companies.
The trick will be consistently proving the value that biometric wearables bring to the workplace. Nymi’s growing spread of high-grade clients like Bayer, AstraZeneca, and BionTech, is reflective that they are succeeding in doing so. The company's acquisition by Innominds, a Californian full-cycle product engineering services company, is evidence of this and will aid in its digital growth.
