OSDP SETS THE NEW STANDARD FOR SECURE ACCESS CONTROL<br />

Let’s face it, we all know low-frequency 125kHz proximity cards don’t provide any real security. After<br />

all, they can be cloned by anyone in seconds with a simple device from an online store. In reality,<br />

however, Wiegand Protocol is almost as vulnerable. As one ethical hacker puts it,<br />

“Weigand is not just old, it's incredibly insecure”. That brings us to Open Supervised<br />

Device Protocol, a new access control communications standard developed by a<br />

collaboration of the world’s most forward-thinking manufacturers. It’s quite a<br />

mouthful, which is probably why people refer to it as OSDP. Our new Janus C4<br />

Access Control platform fully supports OSDP, which the Security Industry<br />

Association (SIA) now recommends for “any Access Control installations<br />

that require security”.<br />

We think that should be all of them.<br />
