Contemporary society is already experiencing the impact of AI, but we have only just scratched the surface of its potential. A white paper from IDEMIA explains how AI is revolutionising identity and security technologies.

What does 2024 have in store for the access and identity industry? SMART Security Solutions asked several industry players for their brief thoughts on what they expect this year.

SMART Security Solutions hosted a round table discussion with various players in the access and identity market, to find out what they experienced in the last year, as well as their expectations for 2024.

Far from the days when clocking in with cards was the norm, along with buddy clocking and the easy ways in which these systems could be scammed, biometrics has changed the game with respect to identification.

Now that the pandemic is over (hopefully), will we see the same confidence in biometrics for access and identification or will the world be reverting to touch-based systems, including cards and fobs (or mobiles).

IDEMIA displayed its biometric fingerprint and facial readers, focusing on touchless technologies for estate security.

For years, South African estates have enjoyed the convenience and security of contact biometric technologies, and now they have evolved to offer contactless options for more than access control.

Ideco and IDEMIA recently hosted a travelling show where attendees were given an update on the companies, as well as the full value stack they offer.

A surprising number of estates are using facial biometrics for access control and visitor management; success depends on planning and using the right equipment.
