Advantages:
Convenience: According to a study by MarketsandMarkets, the global smart card market, which includes key cards, is expected to grow from $8.5 billion in 2020 to $16.9 billion by 2025, indicating a significant adoption of such technologies due to their convenience.
Customization: Salto Systems, a leading provider of key card access control solutions, reports that their systems offer extensive customization options, including the ability to define access levels, schedules, and user permissions.
Audit Trail: Research by Frost & Sullivan suggests that the demand for access control systems with audit trail capabilities is increasing due to rising security concerns. Such systems provide valuable insights into access patterns and can aid in investigations in case of security breaches.
Enhanced Security: A study published in the International Journal of Network Security & Its Applications highlights that key card access control systems offer enhanced security features such as encryption and two-factor authentication, making them more secure than traditional key-based systems.
Integration: According to a report by Research and Markets, the trend of integrating access control systems with other security solutions such as video surveillance and intrusion detection systems is on the rise, driven by the need for comprehensive security solutions. Salto Systems emphasizes the seamless integration of its solutions with third-party security systems.
Disadvantages:
Initial Cost: A study conducted by Security Sales & Integration found that the initial cost of implementing an access control system, including hardware, software, and installation, can range from $1,500 to $5,000 per door, depending on the complexity of the system.
Dependency on Technology: The Ponemon Institute’s Cost of Cyber Crime Study reports that the average cost of a data breach caused by a cyber attack is $3.86 million. Access control systems, including key card systems, are susceptible to cyber-attacks, highlighting the potential risks associated with relying on technology for security.
Card Loss or Damage: According to a survey by Keyfactor, a digital identity management company, the average cost of a lost or stolen credential, including key cards, is $3.7 million per year for organizations. Additionally, a report by Gartner estimates that 20% of support calls to IT helpdesks are related to lost or forgotten passwords or credentials.
Training Requirement: Research by Training Industry Quarterly suggests that organizations spend an average of $1,296 per employee per year on training and development. Implementing a key card access control system may require additional training for users and administrators to ensure effective usage and management of the system.
Limited Functionality: According to a study by IHS Markit, access control systems with advanced features such as biometric authentication and mobile credentials are gaining popularity due to their enhanced security and convenience compared to traditional key card systems. However, such advanced features may not be available in all key card systems, limiting their functionality.
