| | Yesterday, we learned that NortonLifeLock released a new app for iOS that's designed to protect your most sensitive photos. We're talking about examples like those quick snaps of a driver's license or password that laypeople like me take "just in case."
Anyway, it looks like researchers spent a lot of time on this. They've even thought about things like making OCR work correctly when users need to run it from different orientations. It can also scan up to 1,000 photos per minute with "minimal false positives."
Sounds neat at first glance! But do you think this layer of protection is enough to protect ourselves from ourselves? Join the conversation in the SaaSOps Community and let me know what you think. |
