Tech Distributors is implementing biometric authentication at all entry points to increase security at their scientific laboratories. Discuss the challenges of using biometric authentication.
Trendy Distributors experienced a system downtime that resulted in customers failing to make online payments or create new accounts. The disruption resulted in substantial revenue losses. Implementing continuity of operation (COOP) and business continuity (BC) strategies will ensure the organisation remains functional during and after such a disruption. Distinguish between COOP and BC, giving relevant examples.
