Building a Future of Security Collaboration and Convergence
Evolving threats necessitate increased collaboration among organizations, security providers and first responders – how can enterprise security executives adapt?
What’s trending in access control in security enterprises? Interest in outsourced managed access control solutions, particularly for retail establishments, financial institutions and high-end commercial enterprises, says Nelson Barreto, enterprise sales director for North Canton, Ohio-based Diebold Security. Managed solutions streamline access oversight, enhance security and reduce operational costs, he says. Destination control systems that integrate visitor management and access control systems are gaining momentum, as well. As an example, Diebold implemented a system at Miami’s St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort that integrates the property’s hotel reservation, in-house key card and elevator systems. When a resort guest swipes a key card at the elevator, the elevator takes the guest to only his floor.
