Insecurity is not limited to physical spaces, since cyberattacks have become a type of theft that has gained strength in recent years.
An example of this is that in the first half of 2023 alone, 5 billion cyberattack attempts were recorded in Colombia, placing it as the fourth most attacked country in the region.
Furthermore, in September of the same year, a phishing attack was recorded on 40 companies in the country.
For this reason, several companies are advancing strategies with the aim of minimizing these security failures, such is the case of Sonda, specialized in digital transformation, which is carrying out an education campaign in technologies that, such as facial recognition and fingerprint , which are becoming increasingly relevant as part of the solutions to counteract this problem.
• Secure and efficient authentication:
In sectors such as banking and financial transactions, these technologies have reduced the risk of identity theft and financial fraud.
Likewise, in the latest Colombia Fintech study of 2022, the increase in the use of digital wallets was 195%, proving to be a significant alternative for citizens.
Biometric identification and authentication have positively impacted virtual wallet applications, as well as the new identity card in the country, as it benefits the protection of citizens and their digital resources.
• Improving people’s experience:
The implementation of biometric technologies simplifies and streamlines authentication and access processes, providing a more convenient experience for users.
This has strengthened security at airports, shopping centers, stadiums, among others.
Within the company, we have managed to take advantage of the tools used for multi-factor authentication where it is possible to integrate options with biometric mechanisms.
Similarly, in the residential sector, the use of facial recognition and fingerprints eliminates the need for traditional keys, offering quick and hassle-free access to homes, while increasing security against theft and intrusions.
• Comprehensive protection against theft:
These technologies allow a user to be unequivocally identified, reducing the risk of impersonation and fraud.
Today there are a large number of devices that support these identification and authentication mechanisms, allowing new services and use cases to be enabled, where self-service facilitates interaction with the services.
In addition to this, this digital transformation can be expanded in urban and residential areas, where it is possible to identify authorized residents, while surveillance systems can be integrated to monitor and detect any suspicious activity, providing comprehensive protection 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
There are multiple uses, from user identification to transaction authorization.
The potential and capacity of current mobile devices, as well as surveillance cameras and other technological resources, have made possible the development of numerous mechanisms to ensure more complete and efficient protection.
In this sense, it is essential to have a robust identity management system that guarantees security in the identification, authentication and user tracking processes when using technologies, such as facial recognition and fingerprint, an excellent option that uses unique features of each person to verify their identity with high precision.
