Mobile Access Control Cloud Security Biometrics Multi-Factor Authentication Model Subscription-Based Security Model
Last year we have seen security firms emphasizing contactless service models with technologies like advanced Facial Recognition, Touchless access, and Cloud Computing. Now it has garnered demand in the market with more industries opting for these models. This year we are witnessing mobile access controls and cloud technologies in the center, with advanced techniques in giving users higher levels of monitoring and surveillance, lesser downtime, great mobility, and simple integration protocols. Let us break down the new models and see what access controls nowadays are about.
Hands-free contactless access is the need of the hour amidst the pandemic, choosing access controls with built-in mobile credentials is a wise step to consider as it will be going to be a standard across all sectors. Also, it is not all about being hands-free, it’s the exalted level of centralized security that comes with mobile access. Companies can provide security credentials to users’ smartphones, and they can easily download reducing the onboarding time. Once received, the phone will act as an access key card when users get into the proximity of a mobile embedded reader. Mobile readers will check the credentials in users’ phones leveraging technologies like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or NFC and gives the access if credentials match. Usually, gate systems require the user to wave their hands with their mobile devices in front of the reader for granting access. Some readers do the credential reading even if the user doesn’t have their mobile in hand but rather in their pocket.
