Purpose: The rapid advancement of digital technologies has necessitated robust security measures to protect information systems against escalating cyber threats. The objective is to study the effectiveness of the command line interface (CLI) in IT system security management. Design/methodology/approach: This paper explores the efficacy of the command line interface (CLI) in managing IT system security and examines the potential of integrating biometric data into cryptographic mechanisms. We delve into the CLI's precision and flexibility, which enable the execution of complex security tasks and its seamless integration with advanced security tools. Furthermore, we investigate the incorporation of biometrics, such as fingerprints and facial recognition, into encryption processes, offering enhanced security by binding access to individual biometric identifiers. Findings: Our findings suggest that while CLI remains a vital tool for security specialists, the convergence of CLI with biometric authentication can significantly fortify the security of information systems. Practical implications: The paper addresses the challenges and opportunities presented by this integration, including privacy concerns and the need for secure handling of biometric data. We also discuss the implications of such technologies in the context of the European Union's legal framework on cybersecurity. Originality/value: The article is aimed at those involved in cyber security management. The article presents the possibility of using biometric attestations to support the security of IT systems. Keywords: cybersecurity, European Union cybersecurity legislation, cryptographic mechanisms, data encryption, multi-factor authentication. Category of the paper: research paper.
