In recent years, many organizations have taken a fresh look at their emergency plans to be sure that they cover the range of potential incidents. While high-profile incidents of terror such as school shootings and bombings at public events have raised this awareness, other events ranging from flooding and power outages to fires and broken water mains have also interrupted operations for a much greater number of businesses.
Among other technologies, today’s advanced key management systems can help lessen disruptions and vulnerabilities when an emergency situation occurs. The automated key management systems include functionality that lets them integrate into broader security systems, including identity management, access control, and visitor control. These networked security systems provide new functions and benefits for daily operations and they also provide for new capabilities that affect how emergent situations can be planned for, managed, and recovered from, that may be less obvious.
