Facial Recognition, FinTech and the DHS in This Week's Top Biometrics Stories - FindBiometrics

In another week that saw mainstream news dominated by the spread of COVID-19, FindBiometrics readers managed to keep the virus out of the latest top stories roundup. Instead, this week's collection of our most popular articles is dominated by facial recognition news, together with a bit of FinTech and a big announcement from the Department of Homeland Security. Starting with the latter, this week brought a call for submissions for the third-ever Biometric Technology Rally. This time, the DHS's Science and Technology Directorate is focused on finding solutions that can identify small groups of people within crowded environments: In FinTech news, meanwhile, FIS announced this week the launch of a new 3-D Secure payment authentication service. Another facial recognition specialist, Onfido, also got some attention with its news that it has once again been listed in CB Insights' AI 100 ranking.
