In the short term, it would seem the easiest solution would be for ships employing the VMS to disable the system and re-introduce individual key codes. According to Betazed shipping authorities those ships employing the VMS also employ the traditional system for those times when telepathy immune species are employed, or for when the system is simply offline (it should be noted practices aboard ship may have caused the backup systems themselves to be atrophied as the VMS has been depended on for many decades). It is possible for many ships and shipping companies this may indeed be the best long term solution. | In the short term, it would seem the easiest solution would be for ships employing the VMS to disable the system and re-introduce individual key codes.

In the long term, the addition of additional security measures that would ensure memory engrams were coming from the live test subject, possibly by combining them with another biometric sensor, could correct the flaw discussed here. Ideally, to keep a similar attack from occuring multiple different random biometric checks would occur, but this may be cost prohibitive. It appears, by examining the VMS sensors the ability to add other biometric sensors was considered (ODN connections exist to process external sensor input) but no literature | In the long term, the addition of additional security measures that would ensure memory engrams were coming from the live test subject, possibly by combining them with another biometric sensor, could correct the flaw discussed here.
