Nowadays, biometric systems are being used for different purposes for information security like commercial, defense, government, and forensic applications as a means of establishing identity and to mitigate the risk which is one of the important objectives of Information Security Governance. In this chapter, an attempt has been made to explain the use and proper selection of biometric trait to help in Information Security Governance.
