Felton, United States - August 29, 2016 /MarketersMedia/ —

Increasing demand of high level of security in different industries is the key factor driving the growth of the biometrics technology market. Biometric technology deals with the security purpose implied in a system which uses identical human characteristic such as face, hand geometry, voice, signature, iris, vein, DNA and finger print. Increasing number of terror attacks and crimes has forced to develop such system which provides high level of security. Traditional security provided by username, password, PIN, Patterns and tokens are vulnerable to attacks. Furthermore, Biometric technology uses physiological and behavioural characteristics, unique in each individual for identification hence it provides high level of security which is expected to impact the market growth. Security level is increased owing to these unique characteristics which cannot be copied or stolen easily and hence is expected to augment the market growth.

Advance technology application such as e-passport in government sector uses biometric technology to provide security.

South Korean coach Jang takes bigger role as Chairman of Aguilas UMAK FC

MANILA, Philippines — Aguilas UMAK FC has taken another major step to its long-term project with South Korean head coach Jang Min Seok assuming the chairmanship of the club as well. Jang, an AFC Pro License holder, came to the Philippines with a clear ambition: build Aguilas UMAK FC into a competitive and sustainable professional football club capable of challenging for the Philippines Football League title and eventually competing on the AFC stage. His role will now extend beyond coaching the first team. As chairman and head coach, Jang will take part in shaping the club’s overall football direction, including player development, youth programs, club infrastructure, international partnerships and the long-term professionalization of Aguilas UMAK FC. “I did not come to the Philippines simply to coach a team. I came here to build something that can last,” said said. “Our goal is to win, but winning alone is not enough. I want to help build a strong club, develop young Filipino players and create opportunities for them to compete internationally.” Jang believes that combining Korean football experience with the potential of Filipino players can help Aguilas UMAK FC establish a stronger identity both domestically and internationally. “Aguilas UMAK FC is not just a team for one season. We are building for the future,” he said. “My dream is to make this club a champion and take Aguilas UMAK FC onto the Asian stage.” With Jang now serving as both chairman and head coach, Aguilas UMAK FC is signaling its intention to pursue not only immediate results on the pitch, but also a long-term vision for the club’s growth. He attended Hongik University and was highly regarded as a top prospect in the class of 1995, known for his movement on the pitch and clinical finishing. This led to him being selected as the first overall pick in the 1999 K-League draft by Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC. Throughout his playing career, he also represented the South Korean national team at both the youth and senior men's levels. Following his playing career, he transitioned into coaching and has since earned an AFC/KFA P-License. TMT
