7 steps to successful biometric implementation

Biometrics can provide the organisation an intelligent balance of security and convenience if implemented and managed correctly. Biometrics has often been considered a risky and unreliable investment for many organisations. Its rocky reputation influenced by poorly managed and integrated installations seldom factor in key considerations such as the environment, operational impact and legalities. However, the Goode Intelligence study, found that biometric authentication delivers improved security and compliance benefits, and allows for a balance between security and convenience without compromising on either. Biometrics can provide the organisation with a balanced and accessible authentication platform that supports the customer, the business and an omnichannel strategy, but it has to be implemented correctly.

Why Your Business Should Consider Biometric Access Systems

There are many benefits to implementing a biometric access system for your company, premises or building, and it is not only for large corporations. In a world where it is so easy to spoof keycards and password, companies are increasingly vulnerable and protection against unauthorised guests is becoming increasingly vital.

Ending the nuisance (and risk) of visitors’ books

Visitor records are necessary, but the days of the grubby book-based register at the guard house are numbered, says Ideco. Filling in the visitors’ register at the entrance to office blocks or residential estates is a pet peeve of most South Africans: to simply enter a site, they must balance a cumbersome visitors’ book on their car steering wheel, etch out their details with a failing pen, and complete endless fields of personal information. This process takes time, may cause a backup of traffic behind the visitor completing the log, and – worst of all – puts their personal information at risk.

Surveillance evolves as cameras get a brain

Advanced new facial recognition technology is giving ordinary surveillance systems the ability to learn, analyse what cameras see, conduct market research and even proactively mitigate risk. Video Surveillance systems are an important step towards enhanced security, but they have certain shortfalls – they are very dependent on the ability of the control centre and monitoring team to be alert to every moment on every screen, all the time. “With surveillance cameras now in place virtually everywhere, it becomes extremely difficult to analyse who is where and what they are doing, all the time,” says Marius Coetzee, CEO of SA-based identity specialists Ideco. “This means traditional surveillance footage is typically used after an event to support investigations.”
