WHY ARE HID CARDS THE MOST CHOSEN SECURITY OPTION BY COMPANIES
It is not new or uncommon for the average American employee or worker to wear an ID badge for work. ID cards have been largely adopted by business organizations of all kinds and sizes as an initial security barrier that allows them to monitor who enters the premises thus ensuring that only authorized staff members, guests and visitors have access to the company's offices.
HID cards; also usually referred to as HID proximity cards; are highly sophisticated ID badges that can be used for multiple purposes. Thus, an HID card is not only useful for access control but also to keep track of each staff member's attendance and whereabouts but also to limit on an individual level the access to certain documents or folders stored in the IT system of the organization
Though very powerful, these ID badges are not much larger than your driver's license. Thus, their power lies not in their size but in their components. HID badges contain an embedded chip that stores specific information about the card holder: his full name and employee number, date of hiring, area of work, responsibilities, level of clearance (which can be extremely detailed), to which areas he has granted or denied access, which virtual documents and folders he can view/edit and so on. Each card is provided with a specific binary code so that they can be clearly and easily distinguished by the system. One of the main advantages of this is that they can be promptly updated to meet the ever changing needs of the organization.
The HID card in itself is not powerful. It needs to be accompanied by a whole access system, a card reader and a matching IT system to make sure that every time the card holder swipes the card over the card reader, the information stored in the embedded chip is properly read and therefore he or she is granted access to a certain area. Thus, many business organizations have replaced their security officials with an HID card system.
Business owners and managers can also enjoy an additional advantage of these sophisticated cards: they provide detail reports that can be retrieved and analysed on a regular basis to keep track of the employees attendance, whereabouts and activities done during the office hours.
Business owners and managers are well aware of the fact that a secure environment helps to improve productivity. It seems that HID badges are the most accurate response.
