Continuous authentication tech could help companies in multiple ways, such as ensuring that if a laptop was stolen while unlocked, it would still be impossible for anyone to access sensitive systems if their biometrics didn’t align.

We've had solutions to the "laptop stolen when unlocked" problems for years. BusKill uses a cable that you clip to your belt for this. It's simple. You don't need to film your employees all day long to solve this problem.

The less external things I have to lug around with my laptop, the better
