Which of the following would be MOST critical to the successful implementation of a biometric
authentication system?

A.
Budget allocation

B.
Technical skills of staff

C.
User acceptance

D.
Password requirements

Explanation:

End users may react differently to the implementation, and may have specific preferences. The
information security manager should be aware that what is viewed as reasonable in one culture
may not be acceptable in another culture. Budget allocation will have a lesser impact since what is
rejected as a result of culture cannot be successfully implemented regardless of budgetary
considerations. Technical skills of staff will have a lesser impact since new staff can be recruited
or existing staff can be trained. Although important, password requirements would be less likely to
guarantee the success of the implementation.
