Behavioural biometrics is a term from the fields of cybercrime and cybersecurity, as well as digital transformation. It describes a special technology that recognises people based on their unique behaviours. Instead of physical characteristics like fingerprints or faces, habits are analysed – for example, how someone types, clicks with the mouse, or holds a smartphone.

Imagine an online banking system monitoring how you type your passwords and how fast you move your mouse. These behavioural patterns are different for every person, almost as unique as a fingerprint. If a hacker then tries to log in with your credentials, the system recognises through deviating behaviour that it's probably not you, and raises an alarm.

Behavioural biometrics therefore makes digital systems more secure without you having to remember additional passwords. The technology runs in the background and protects your data by recognising your personal usage patterns. This not only helps private individuals but also companies to effectively prevent fraud or unauthorised access.
