A Brief Overview Of The Physical Access Control Dilemma (Infographic)

November 30, 2016

 Access control systems are an integral aspect of a well-rounded security system, allowing you the ability to control the movement of people in and out of the building. Businesses face a variety of complex security threats, necessitating a comprehensive access control system to safeguard against unauthorized individuals and serve as a key component of incident and emergency response.

However, some leaders are hesitant to commit to an upgrade of their legacy access control system as they are wary of long, costly installations. Ultimately, foregoing an upgrade can leave an organization vulnerable to potential threats.

Access control systems have evolved significant over the past few years, due in part to technological advances. Fortunately, some systems can be updated overnight by swapping out the server and replacing controllers with new IP based solutions that communicate with your existing readers, credentials and infrastructure. Essentially, it doesn't have to be difficult or expensive to maintain or retrofit your facility with modern access control technology-- many new systems are affordable, simple to install, and easily-scalable.

We've included an infographic below, meticulously created by HID Global. Learn what  HID Global discovered when they surveyed security system users, integrators, installers, product distributors and consultants to gain insight on their views on change and industry best practices for physical access control.
