Presentation of Dr. Félix Jiménez [2:31]
Dr. Cecilia Villarreal Magán introduces Dr. Félix Jiménez, a specialist in biometric identification and digitalization systems. Dr. Jiménez holds a Ph.D. in Systems Engineering and has extensive experience in cybersecurity, project management, and IT administration. He currently serves as the network and communications manager of the Public Prosecutor's Office of the Nation. Dr. Jiménez will present on biometric security, its uses, and applications.
The Evolution of Cybersecurity and Biometrics [6:15]
Dr. Jiménez discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of virtuality and emerging technologies, making security a critical aspect. He defines cybersecurity as the set of programs implemented to contain digital threats affecting organizations and networks. He recalls the early stages of biometric identification in Peru around 2000, noting its limited capabilities at the time. The events of September 11, 2001, significantly changed the landscape of biometrics, leading to the implementation of visitor programs and the requirement for biometric registration in passports.
Industrial Revolutions and Emerging Technologies [11:50]
Dr. Jiménez connects the evolution of cybersecurity and biometrics to the four Industrial Revolutions. The first involved mechanization, the second electricity and mass production, the third automation and technologies, and the fourth digitalization, IoT, and robotics. Cybersecurity grows with computing, and biometrics grows with the need for identity validation. Concepts like identity theft become relevant, and biometric readers are used to verify a person's identity.
Cybersecurity and Biometrics in the Modern Era [13:59]
Dr. Jiménez emphasizes that cybersecurity is sustained by the internet and telecommunications networks. He notes that initially, investments in cybersecurity were lacking, but this has changed as organizations recognize its impact on their reputation and operational continuity. Portable biometric technologies and cloud-based platforms have emerged, allowing for mobile solutions and centralized support.
Biometric Validation and Identification [20:15]
Dr. Jiménez explains the role of biometrics in validation and identification. He distinguishes between verification/authentication (one-to-one) and identification (one-to-many). Verification requires an ID number to match a biometric template, while identification involves searching a database to identify an individual without prior information. He provides examples of how biometric technology is used in attendance control, airport security, and notarial services.
Standards and Interoperability [27:24]
Dr. Jiménez stresses the importance of standards and norms in engineering and system integration. He highlights the need for interoperability between different biometric platforms, even across countries. He mentions the enrollment of ten fingerprints and facial recognition to prevent identity fraud. Fingerprints and facial recognition are the most robust technologies for guaranteeing identity.
Research and Development in Cybersecurity and Biometrics [33:09]
Dr. Jiménez encourages professionals to deepen their research in biometrics, cybersecurity, and self-management. He emphasizes the need to find gaps in knowledge and contribute as professionals. He notes that world databases are available for research.
Cybersecurity Threats and National Emergencies [35:52]
Dr. Jiménez discusses the national emergency declared in Costa Rica due to a malware attack on its digital infrastructure. This event underscores the threat posed by hackers to entire countries. He highlights the importance of monitoring and solid training in telecommunications networks, mathematics, and science to address cybersecurity threats.
Cybersecurity Fundamentals and Organizational Structure [39:12]
Dr. Jiménez explains how to structure an organization to address its cybersecurity needs. He emphasizes the importance of guaranteeing confidentiality, integrity, and availability of services. Cyber attacks are a daily reality, and organizations must have contingency plans to ensure continuity of services.
Challenges and Contingency Planning [42:50]
Dr. Jiménez shares his experience as a network manager at the Public Ministry, highlighting the challenges of training authorities and guaranteeing the availability of services. He stresses the importance of contingency planning, including redundant energy sources and communication systems, to address critical situations.
Conclusion of Presentation [44:15]
Dr. Jiménez summarizes the presentation, noting the evolution of cybersecurity and biometrics through the Industrial Revolutions and the acceleration of digital transformation due to the pandemic. He reiterates the existence of digital threats and the importance of preventing identity theft.
