BioSec reveals rapid deployment biometric authentication solution
July 2018 by Marc Jacob
Even it is halfway through summer, festival season is definitely on, attracting
millions of festivalgoers worldwide. Nevertheless, the large number of people
involves the same amount of security risks, which became a significant challenge to
address. Despite the first impression, securing festivals is way more than just
“bag checks” and security guards among festivalgoers. Site design and safety
plans are only a few components of the yearlong preparation behind these events.
Even the security level of mass events has increased clearly in the past years,
Hungarian security company, BioSec Group Ltd. draws attention to the importance of
festival safety, saying that “festivals are fun as long as festivalgoers are
safe.”
According to BioSec, one of the greatest challenges at these events is to know
exactly who goes in and out. The management of entry and exit points and the large
masses of arriving and leaving people is still a challenging task, as document and
ticket checks on their own cannot guarantee that the entering person is who he/she
claims to be. “In order to bolster festival safety, a high security solution is
needed, which is exactly what biometrics offer.” – said BioSec Group CEO, Péter
Györgydeák. BioSec is developing on one of the most advanced biometric
technologies, palm vein recognition, which ensures highly secure, simple to use and
convenient personal authentication with the wave of the hand.
Combining the above features with some extras, the Hungarian company says that their
latest development, the BS RapidGuard can be the key to securing mass events, such
as festivals. BioSec’s rapid deployment authentication solution ensures 100%
personalised tickets by replacing cards and bracelets with something that cannot be
copied, stolen or forged: the festivalgoer’s hand. With BS RapidGuard, that is all
the user needs for high security personal authentication and access control. Besides
providing a simple to use and convenient solution for the attendees, BioSec has some
good news for the organisers too. “We know that festivals involve many challenges,
so we did not want to make security a plus one. This is why BS RapidGuard adapts to
even the most unique requirements: it can be set up faster than a tent and can be
used literally everywhere, without the need for additional infrastructure.” –
told BioSec Group CEO, Péter Györgydeák. Basically, BS RapidGuard combines rapid
deployment and simple installation with high security, ease of use and fast
authentication time, ensuring a win-win solution for everyone. In addition, the
BioSec system enables online and offline functioning, 1:n or 1:1 authentication and
Active Directory compatibility besides others.
All in all, there is only one question left. How long should we wait until cards and
bracelets become a thing of the past? Hopefully, not so long. Just imagine mass
events without any inconveniences, where you only need your hand for access control,
paying for drinks or opening your locker. So do not be surprised if searching for
your ticket or card will be just one of those bad memories soon.
