Access Control: Integrated Business Solutions for End Users When’s the best time to upgrade your access control solution? Many businesses choose to follow the policy: ‘If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it’ but this can be a risky approach in a world where technology and the threats posed to today’s organisations are changing so rapidly. The use of older, legacy access control systems exposes an organisation, a building, a server room and/or computers to the possibility of unauthorised access and the myriad consequences that follow. Access control technology is widely present across many aspects of an organisation and benefits both physical security and IT security. With the advancements in smart phone, smart card and biometric technologies, it’s now time for organisations to start using these devices to not only save on costs, but also to improve upon the end user experience and simplify the integration process of new biometric technologies when they’re introduced. Why, though, is now the best time for end users to upgrade their systems? Data privacy issues One of the biggest drivers for updating legacy access control systems is the need for enhanced levels of data privacy. This could come about through the on-boarding of a client that requires high levels of security, new legislation being brought in for specific industries or even new building tenants. The driver remains the same: data or the building itself is in some way exposed to or at risk and needs added protection. Put simply, yesterday’s technology is no longer sufficient for confronting today’s access control and identity management challenges. With data breaches dominating the technology, security and indeed national headlines, end users are fully aware that the risk posed to organisations is evolving, while the need to protect their physical assets – and consequently data assets – is of vital importance. The ‘IFSEC International Access Control Report 2016: Legacy Infrastructure and Motivations for Upgrading’ report highlights the fact it would take a security breach that exposed a flaw in the current system for 92% of respondents to consider changing their current access control system, but not beforehand. On any site at any one time, in addition to regular employees, there are also individuals and groups on the premises (contractors, for instance) who have access to various parts of the location for short periods of time. In the IFSEC report, 75% of respondents have third party members on site on a regular basis. Smart About Access Technology advancements in trusted identities will create a mixed technology environment with smart cards, mobile devices, ‘wearables’, embedded chips and other ‘smart’ objects driving the transformation from legacy access control systems. As Jaroslav Barton outlines, the shift to NFC, Bluetooth Low Energy and advanced smart card technology will be necessary to meet evolving business requirements Integrated visitor management solutions in modern access control systems significantly improve the distribution and use of temporary credentials, but also safeguard various parts of the site when it comes to any unwarranted access. Access control solutions, such as mobile access or modern smart card technology, make it that much easier for facilities and security managers to track who’s accessing what parts of the site to ensure nobody’s in an area that they shouldn’t be. End user convenience The continual development in consumer technology has spilled over into the business world with devices now being used for work as well as our personal lives. Bring Your Own Device, mobiles and ‘wearables’ are all common features of today’s office environment. Organisations can use the growing level of secure technologies that employees are carrying around with them on a daily basis. In place of several key cards or fobs that could be lost, end users can instead employ smart phones or smart devices – their closest pieces of technology – for secure access control.
