  • Facial Recognition vs. Facial Authentication: Understanding the difference between these two biometric technologies and how they can revolutionize workplace access.
  • Real-World Applications: How organizations like TSA, Global Entry, and airlines have already embraced Facial Recognition for security and convenience.
  • The Future of Workplace Security: How Digital Badges and Facial Authentication can unlock new, hyper-personalized employee experiences while reducing waste and increasing security.

Michael also shares personal anecdotes from his time in the IT industry, highlighting how the concept of employee identification has changed over the years.
