TL;DR: The answer is no. Biometrics do no create a false sense of security in a business. Biometrics can ensure a great level of security in a business as long as the technology is updated constantly and the business opts for well-tested biometric security systems. If you’re interested in implementing a biometrics security system in your business, give us a call at 1300 39 65 65 and we’ll identify the best option for your business.
All of us may be humans in the end, but each human is unique, from the smallest trace of the uniqueness of a person like their DNA to the more prominent marks such as fingerprints, iris patterns, and faces. Technology has progressed at such a fast rate that security systems that make use of passwords have become primitive.
As more and more methods of fortifying security measures have been found out, the means of breaking and bypassing those barriers have also increased. At this time, biometrics are at the epitome of security systems. It is unique to each person and requires a physical presence to get through. It makes it near impossible to bypass them. At times, the question arises in your mind: “Do biometrics creates a false sense of security in a business?”. We are going to tackle this question in this article.
Biometric security systems use different unique identification traits present on the body of every person to determine their identity. These traces are identified using various sensors that makeup scanners. The different biometric scanners that are widely used in businesses are:
All of these biometric security systems have gone through high levels of research and development. It makes them highly reliable and secure. Higher the level of security provided by the systems, the higher is the level of cost. It makes the businesses choose biometric systems, which are a few generations behind. Doing this compromises the integrity of the security system.
There are some characters of every biometric system that differentiate it from the others. Some of the characters are required to be present to make it a proper security system. Some of those features are:
Coming back on the topic of tackling the question of “Do Biometrics Create A False Sense Of Security In A Business?”, the answer is that usually it does not. The different kinds of biometric security systems have come through a lot of research and development. They are the most mature type of security systems out there. Furthermore, no other kind of security system has reached this level of integrity. Biometric systems are the only type of authentication systems that make the person themselves the key to gain access. It means that without the knowledge and presence of the person, it is impossible to break through the security.
The biometric systems might not be false, but the businesses themselves can create such type of scenario. The companies might opt for outdated and inexpensive systems to cut down on the costs. Those outdated systems might cause a real problem. So it is ascertained that the biometric systems themselves do not create a false sense of security; it is the businesses themselves that create it. Reckless choice and cost-cutting lead to this scenario.
Security is one such thing where cost-cutting methods should not be applied. After reading this article, all such allegations regarding the biometric systems should be tackled with transparency.
