Thesis Abstract

This project aims to investigate the use of insurance in managing the risks associated with biometric data breaches. It will analyze the unique challenges and liabilities involved in insuring biometric data, evaluate the current state of insurance products and policies for biometric data breaches, and propose strategies for addressing the evolving risk landscape of biometric data security.

Thesis Overview

Biometric data, such as fingerprints, facial recognition, and iris scans, is increasingly being used for identity verification and access control in various sectors, including finance, healthcare, and law enforcement. However, the proliferation of biometric data usage has also raised concerns about the security and privacy of such sensitive information. In the event of a biometric data breach, organizations face significant financial and reputational risks. This project seeks to comprehensively analyze the role of insurance in managing the risks associated with biometric data breaches and provide insights into the development of insurance products tailored for this emerging risk.

This project aims to provide valuable insights for insurers, businesses, and policymakers on the evolving landscape of biometric data security risks and the role of insurance in mitigating their financial impact. By addressing the ethical considerations and social implications of insuring biometric data breaches, this study aims to facilitate the responsible and resilient management of biometric data risks through insurance mechanisms. Through a comprehensive analysis of biometric data security risks, insurance frameworks, and the effectiveness of insurance in managing the risks of biometric data breaches, this project will contribute to the advancement of biometric data risk management and insurance practices.
