BY EMEKA AGINAM

Following the recent adoption of biometric technologies by the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, for  all banks in Nigeria and also the  National Identity Management Commission, NIMC,  for the development of highly skilled and certified IT professionals who will manage the issues that will arise in the usage of biometrics technologies, New  Horizons, an IT training  company, has  introduced   biometrics certifications into the market.

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.

Biocertification offers three different vendor neutral certification programs, Certified Biometric Security Technician (CBT), Certified Biometric Security Professional (CBSP), Certified Biometric Security Engineer (CBSE), CBSD (Certified Biometrics Security Developer) designed for technology practitioners who are seeking to enhance their technical skills as well as their professional prospects.

Each program consists of instructional material prepared by experts and practitioners which is followed by a certification exam.

On passing the exam participants will receive the certification.

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.

The demand for skilled biometric security professionals is growing significantly worldwide.

The Certification programmes are designed for knowledgeable technology professionals in the field of biometric security and for those who wish to gain a solid understanding of biometric technologies and apply concepts and design principles to improve logical and physical access control in identity management systems.

Biocertification offers an international, vendor neutral biometric security training and certification program for technology professionals in one of the fastest growing areas of information security.

This is a great advantage for anyone who wants to build a career based on cutting edge technologies and help to solve real world challenges using biometric technologies.
By becoming Certified Biometric Security Engineers, people  will be equipped with a competitive edge in today’s tough market place.

Already, many  small, medium and large organizations have chosen New Horizons as the single source for all their IT training needs.

According to the Managing Director of New Horizons, Mr Tim Akano “This partnership reveals New Horizons’ ever growing determination to take Nigeria and Nigerians to the greatest heights as concerns IT trainings and certifications.

Information Technology is the future of the World and Nigerians should not be left behind. This is another great opportunity introduced by New Horizons for individuals and organisations to be Security Certified and Protected”
