Student Spotlight: AI-Powered Behavioral Biometrics: Continuous Authentication for Securing Emerging Cyber Systems
Wednesday June 24, 2026 4:30pm - 4:50pm CDT
BLDG M Moraine Rooms
The different traditional authentication methods such as tokens, passwords and static biometrics continue to fail to protect modern cyber systems, once initial access is compromised. As digital infrastructures across different sectors, such as healthcare, cloud application platforms, and public services become more interconnected and are AI driven these days, cybersecurity must move from one-time authentication to a continuous and an adaptive defense mechanisms.

This Student Spotlight presentation draws from a peer-reviewed research study which was published in the International Journal of Information Security (IJIS) that investigates AI-powered behavioral biometrics for continuous authentication. The research investigates how machine learning models could analyze behavioral patterns, such as interaction dynamics and session behavior - to continuously verify the user’s identity in real time, thereby reducing the risk of unauthorized access after login.

The presentation will be on the way in which behavioral biometrics have a human-centric and interdisciplinary approach to cybersecurity, fusing the skills of AI, human behavior, and security systems, and how it is being applied in critical sectors like healthcare sector, cloud computing, and online government services, among others, with consideration to the ethics of the same and the preparedness of the workforce.

This is going to explain how translating research insights into accessible concepts makes it possible for students and educators to bridge cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and human factors to make them even more resilient to emerging cyber threats. The session will emphasize the role of interdisciplinary education and student-led research in shaping the future of AI-enabled cybersecurity solutions.
