In today’s rapidly evolving security landscape, the concept of access control has taken on new dimensions. As organizations navigate the return to work, a shrinking labor pool and a changing economic climate, access management has emerged as a mainstream solution to address these pressing concerns. By providing consistent enforcement of access permissions, preventing unauthorized entry attempts and reducing reliance on human capital for access management, security entrances offer an effective approach to risk mitigation that can go beyond what is possible using physical access control systems (PACS) alone.
The use of the term “access control” likely evokes the image of an office worker pressing their credential to a card reader in order to receive access into a facility. While these types of technologies have their place, traditional PACS applications can have limitations when it comes to providing comprehensive security and risk prevention.
