HSBC Embraces Facial Recognition Technology
HSBC will install ten new ‘light immune’ facial recognition units at their two new UK data centres by next summer, as reported by TheEngineer.co.uk today.
HSBC will be working with Surrey-based identity management specialist OmniPerception, who have deployed their products in police forces across the UK amongst other clients.
David McIntosh, chief executive of OmniPerception, said: ‘Helping to prevent sensitive data falling into the wrong hands is clearly an important role for modern facial biometric technology.
‘By being the first to adopt facial-recognition technology for this purpose, HSBC is blazing a trail that will benefit both the banking sector and society as a whole.’
