Adoption of Mobile Credentials for Access Control has increased significantly and is gaining momentum.
“By 2022, Gartner, Inc. predicts that 70 percent of organizations using biometric authentication for workforce access will implement it via smartphone apps, regardless of the endpoint device being used. In 2018, this figure was fewer than 5 percent.”
As businesses resume to normal operations in offices and employees returning to work, Facility Managers are streamlining campus security by Reducing Physical Touchpoints to improve user experience and to offer a seamless workspace.
Though the traditional credentials such as low frequency Proximity Cards, Mifare Classic, HID I Class, traditional keys, physical badges remain in use for door entry, Mobile Credentials provide a contactless Entry & Exit eliminating surface contact with Reader.
Why Implement Mobile Credentials?
Mobile Credentials are more Cyber Secure than Card Based Credentials
Mobile Credentials provide multifactor authentications as compared to card-based credentials and works seamlessly. Card Based Credentials work on a proprietary technology and are prone to skimming & cybersecurity vulnerabilities.
Mobile Credentials improve User Experience
Mobile Credentials use Near Field Communication (NFC) or Bluetooth technology (BLE) to transmit encrypted data to a reader for entry and speeds up access process.
Mobile Credentials simplify Credential Programming
Mobile Credentials has soft link securely linked to a smartphone and does not require disclosure of any sensitive end user personal to activate the system. Administrator can activate or revoke credentials remotely.
Mobile Credentials provide Operational Efficiency
Cost of printing, consumables and personalisation of physical cards or badges is reduced and this also brings down operational costs. Mobile Credentials reduce loss & theft of badges.
Mobile Credentials is a Cost-Effective Solution
Mobile Credentials are programmed or activated remotely and eliminates the costs to procure physical badges and prevents system downtime and loss of productivity.
Mobile Credentials offers contactless & touchless entry
Mobile Credentials provide seamless entries to workplace with minimum or no contact maintaining workplace best practices.
