SMART Access & identity 2024

TRENDS

emerging technologies and evolving security needs, have pushed organisations beyond traditional security measures. There is a growing emphasis on biometric authentication methods, such as facial recognition and fingerprint scanning, to fortify access controls, contributing to a shift away from traditional password-based systems. Additionally, the integration of computer vision, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning is becoming more prevalent in access management, enabling organisations to proactively detect and respond to security threats by analysing user behaviour patterns. The rise of passwordless authentication methods, like multi-factor authentication, is streamlining user experiences while fortifying defences against unauthorised access. Overall, the access and identity space in 2024 will be characterised by a harmonious blend of cutting-edge technologies and robust security measures. These trends collectively reflect a dynamic shift towards more robust, intelligent, and user-centric access and identity management solutions. It is all about ensuring that it is mart, safe, and easy for people to use. Nicolas Garcia, VP of Marketing & Sales Enablement, Smart Biometrics, IDEMIA The top trend in 2024 will be contactless biometric technologies, AI, and cybersecurity. 1. Demand for facial recognition and contactless fingerprint solutions will continue to grow due to factors such as convenience, security, hygiene, and performance. 2. AI will have a growing importance in the market, especially as it helps boost performance even higher, and improve enrolment quality and identification capabilities. Neural Processing Units are used to multiply the processing power, while remaining affordable (like the VisionPass SP). 3. The need for cybersecurity will become stronger as criminals also use AI to boost their operations. This will be reflected in new regulations being passed worldwide, starting with North America and Europe with, for instance, the Cyber Resilience Act. Due to the complexity of cybersecurity, manufacturers must do their bit and make securing the solution easier, and that is why IDEMIA now embeds ‘Security by Default’ in all its products. This ensures the right level of protection without hassle for the customer.
