Why is Access Control Critical?

Master Video · 12/20/2021 ·

Master Video Access Control

Access Control Systems are a critical component of corporate security infrastructures in today’s challenging and ever-changing business environments.

FAQ: Why is Access Control Critical?

Access Control Security has become a primary concern for many businesses about, who comes and goes from facilities, and keeping unwanted visitors from gaining access, keeping personnel and assets safe and secure.

Aging infrastructures and outdated physical security systems are not just costly to maintain, they also weaken facility security.

Lack of modern Access Control capabilities or new door control technology can put you at a clear disadvantage these days.

Master Video Why Access Control

Modern Access Controls allow you to regulate user capabilities to enforce access and policy compliance.

Manage many different endpoints through a centralized system for easy access and control to who, what, and how people are able to gain access to any property, inside or outside.

Protect exterior, as well as interior, and completely control your facility's physical spaces from any unauthorized access with state-of-the-art security systems, with a multitude of card reader technologies, AI credentials, and electric locking hardware.

Any network device that is not compliant with corporate policies is a security risk.

Access Control

Master Video · 03/18/2021 ·

First Access Control in 1975

• DYK - The first electronic Access Control was in 1975 when a Norwegian lock maker invented the VingCard, the world’s first recordable keycard hotel door lock.

Why Access Control?

Did You Know; The first electronic Access Control system was developed in 1975, after a Norwegian engineer and locksmith, Tor Sørnes, heard reports about American singer, Connie Francis, was attacked in her hotel room. He was a big fan and was moved by the story. He realized the danger people faced when staying in hotels and was determined to help. Her story inspired him to invent a better door opening system, so hotel guests could feel safe and secure.

Sørnes invented the first electronic Access Control “VingCard” ...a mechanical hole card-operated lock that had a pattern of holes that could be manipulated into 32 positions giving the key 4.2 billion combinations, to form a unique hotel door card for each guest. The intuitive lock would only open for a certain person at a certain time and revolutionized access control in the hospitality industry. Modern Hotel keycards can feature various technologies, such as a Magnetic Strip, RFID, and Mobile Key technology.

1975 VingCard Door Access Control Card

The Foundation of All Security; "Who Gets In and Who Does Not"

Today, Access Control credential technology is a key component of data security to mitigate risks and increase safety, by leveraging cryptographic standards and biometric technology to ensure safety, security, and peace of mind.
