Biometric Access Trends for 2023:

Frictionless Access is Here to Stay: The adoption of frictionless, or touchless access control was accelerating prior to Covid and in the post pandemic world, demand is growing more rapidly.

Regionalization of Privacy Laws: The privacy and legal aspects of biometrics are becoming more localized but also more consistent. Knowing and understanding privacy laws and working with vendors who prioritize privacy is paramount.

Growth of Multimodal Authentication: Multimodal authentication will continue to grow, with changing work environments and companies implementing a “zero trust” strategy. Enhancements in technology that allow multi-factor authentication at the speed of single-factor are improving security and reducing friction.

Increased Cloud Adoption: Enterprises have adopted cloud technologies across the business and see the value of cloud for their physical security systems giving them greater scale and flexibility.
