Passwords and pins have become such an old-school feature. Who uses passwords anymore? It seems like everyone has switched to biometrics as the most popular feature of newer smartphone devices.

One of the most common questions when it comes to following the NIST framework is when you should start implementing response plan procedures. Let’s say that you already have a response plan in place (which you should, as the response plan is one of the most important aspects of an online security system).
