New Horizons Introduces First Biometric Certification in West Africa

New Horizons has decided to introduce the most reputable world’s biometrics certifications into the market. This is coming against the recent adoption of biometric technologies by the CBN, all banks in Nigeria and also the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC),  which raises the need for the development of Highly skilled and certified IT professionals that will manage the issues that will arise in the usage of biometrics technologies.

Biometrics is used in computer science as a form of identification and access control. It is a form of recognition and identity confirmation that uses physical attributes of an individual that are impossible or at least hard to mask.

Common forms of biometrics include facial recognition, fingerprinting, retinal scans and DNA analysis.

While previously cost prohibitive, concerns over terrorism and security have made many world governments and private organizations implement the technology at least on a limited scale.

These certifications are designed for both novice and as well as experienced networking and IT security professionals who wish to gain a solid understanding of Biometric Technologies and as well usage of Biometrics in the real world applications.

This program will significantly benefit Young university graduates looking for jobs, security professionals and officers seeking promotions and new opportunities in 2014 and also non ICT professionals who want to diversify and enlarge their coast in 2014, auditors, site administrators, and anyone who is concerned about the Physical, Networking and as well as Data security.
