WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF
BIOMETRICS FOR ACCESS CONTROL?
I N T RO D U C AT I O N
Biometrics is the analysis of biological data using technology. Biometric access
control represents a modern type of security technology that can present a
series of benefits across multiple industries. Biometric access control is the
use of this biological data to either grant or denies access to a building or area
of a building.
The main benefits of using biometric access control for security,
convenience, and reduced costs.
I N H E R E N T TO T H E U S E R
Since biometrics use a person’s
unique biology to verify their
identity, it is extremely difficult
for them to be taken or used
by anyone other than the
intended user.

Biometrics are generally much harder to spoof because most modern
biometric systems use liveness tests to ensure that the biometric data is
coming from an actual human and not a forged replica. With biometrics
such as Keyo, admins can instantly grant or revoke access permissions
directly from the console dashboard, allowing them to ensure only active,
non-suspended users are given access.

Security Staff
Biometric access control systems are remarkably convenient in
that they allow authorized users to access the facility without
needing anything other than themselves. Biometric access control
systems can save companies money by reducing the need for
dedicated security staff to man access points. According to Salary
Expert, The average salary for a gate guard in the US is about
$32,000 a year.

Your biometric ID is always at hand,
so no more fumbling in your pocket
for a fob or ID card. With Keyo, your
hand is your ID. Most biometrics are
able to identify users in under a
second, eliminating the inefficiency
and time delays caused by manual
identity checks, passwords, or PINs.

According to Salary Expert, The average salary for a gate guard in the
US is about $32,000 a year. Access control systems that use physical
tokens such as keycards and fobs incur an extra hidden cost: lost
token replacement rate. Lost cards and fobs are an all-too-common
occurrence.

The cost of potential security
breaches outweighs the previous
costs by an order of magnitude. In
manufacturing facilities, for
example, the use of machinery by
unauthorized persons can void the
warranty of the machine, creating
enormous out-of-pocket costs to
repair if it breaks.
