Biometric Access Control
With recent events in mind, employees are requiring that companies around the world look at new security measures to protect both themselves and the company assets. According to a Harris Interactive survey, the majority of employees feel that their employers should be strengthening ID procedures for entering premises and accessing computer systems, as well as doing more detailed background checks on job applicants. One such technology, which can assist companies and employees with these tasks is biometrics.
In simple terms, biometrics is a type of personal identification that utilizes a unique physiological or behavioral characteristic not shared by any other individual, such as fingerprints. In other words, only one person, yourself, has this particular characteristic.
There are several different type of biometric technologies: iris scan, retinal recognition, fingerprint recognition, hand geometry, voice recognition, infrared imaging, keyboard dynamics and handwriting dynamics. All are based on characteristics considered to be unique to an individual, though some are more reliable than others. For instance, it is common knowledge that no one person has the same fingerprint as another. Therefore this is 100% reliable technology, and the most commonly utilized.
Companies are faced with a variety of threats to their security, such as employee identity theft, vandalism, cheating or what is called "buddy punching" (when one employee clocks in or out for another employee that is not physically present at the time) and equipment theft, plus many others. By implementing biometric systems, employers can control who has access to what equipment, prevent fraudulent time and attendance entries and protects their assets from theft.
Additionally, employers face significant costs attributed to replacing lost or stolen building keys and lock, access cards, and correcting time and attendance issues, all of which can be eliminated with the use of a biometric access system. It's easy to enroll employees, taking only a couple of minutes, and then the company has an identification database of all employees, and can restrict access to particular parts of the buildings based on specific clearance levels.
As an employee, biometric systems have an advantage for you as well. For instance, instead of having to carry around office keys or access cards, you simply bring your finger with you. Best of all, you'll never misplace your finger, or leave it at home, as many people do with their keys and cards. Additionally, it automates many processes you may currently be doing by hand, such as clocking in and out. This way, you never have to worry about forgetting to clock in, since your fingerprint will do it for you.
Access Cards, Proximity Readers, Access Control Software
Being similar in size to a credit card, an access card, also known as a proximity card can identify individuals and allow access and egress to a pre-defined area by simply scanning the access card in front of the proximity card reader. The proximity card reader then analyses the data stored in the access cards and determines whether the user has authorised entry based on access level, date and/or time. The reader then stores the information and records the activity for future reference or reports. This type of system can monitor individuals’ access, protect employees and provide full activity reports. Access control software is password protected and allows administrator access to particular programs, networks or drives.
