In a high-security data center, management is reviewing options to enhance the security of the server-room entrance. They want a solution that drastically reduces the risk of unauthorized entry caused by duplicated or stolen access credentials. Which locking system should they implement?
Biometric locks rely on unique biological characteristics-such as fingerprints or iris patterns-that are extremely difficult to copy, so losing a card or revealing a PIN does not compromise access. Keycard systems can be cloned with inexpensive RFID tools, numerical keypad systems can be defeated by observing or recording the entry sequence, and mechanical key locks are vulnerable to key duplication or lock-picking. Therefore, biometrics provide the strongest protection against credential duplication.
