Preventing intruder access at the front door; halting hacker access at the back

The rapid evolution of access control technology, specifically its shift from a closed, proprietary system to an open, IP based architecture, has unlocked a new set of possibilities for end users. Modern access systems offer open communications architecture, designed to allow access controllers to be deployed as IoT devices. The benefits are obvious; Access control technology can connect to other devices on a network and interact to easily form useful solutions. Perhaps that is why it has become the fastest growing physical security technology in recent years, with security teams and the wider business achieving something they never thought they could from a simple physical security solution; intelligence.
