Biometrics eliminates trick of entering office by using smart card of another person

A Network Rail manager hit out at “mindless” thieves who caused delays for thousands of commuters around the capital. Thefts emanating from the Hertfordshire area disrupted many people trying to get to Stansted for flights. Managing director of network operations Robin Gisby said: “We need to see tougher sentences for cable thieves in the courts and the police must be given the powers they need to shut down the rogue scrap dealers who are profiting from the travelling public’s misery.”

All-in-one Time and Attendance and security systems are available from Time and Attendance South East. As well as time and attendance recording with Job Booking and Job Costing, the systems (such WinTAnet or WinTA Access Enterprise) use the same proximity read smart cards for clocking, access and identification purposes. For increased security, you may wish to consider implementing biometric fingerprint reading access control. Biometrics provide a reliable and accurate two-factor authentication environment, where the ability to trick the system by using another person’s smart card is eliminated.
