Verified access to the IT systems is part of any standard security protocol to ensure that only authorized persons have access to the system. It prevents hackers and cyber criminals from breaching the network for unethical activities. A security breach is too costly because it exposes the company, stakeholders, and customers to high risks. It can severely damage the business’ reputation and even result in legal violations that attract high fines. Companies use biometric access control like facial recognition and fingerprint scanning to prevent unauthorized IT systems and network access. The fingerprint scanning technology can authenticate a person’s identity by analyzing different types of fingerprints.
Fingerprints are patterns created by the ridges on the fingertips that are unique to each individual. The scanners of the fingerprint identification system generate an image of the pattern created by the finger’s ridges. Comparing the image with the registered fingerprints in the company’s database with the help of the biometric system’s software helps to verify the person’s identity for granting access. Although each fingerprint is unique, eight types of fingerprints have broad identification features. Each type of fingerprint has some typical pattern that creates an identity and differentiates it from other fingerprint types.
The broad categories of fingerprints consist of three types – Loop fingerprints, Whorl Fingerprints, and Arch fingerprints, with each category having some sub-sets. Loop Fingerprints and Whorl fingerprints have three sub-sets each, while there are two sub-sets of the Arch fingerprints.
