"The modern workplace or campus looks very different from even a decade ago - and older access control systems struggle to keep up. They weren't built to handle the fast pace of change we see today. Employees no longer work from the same building every day. Flexible working hours, telecommuting, and increased reliance on contractors introduce more complexity in scheduling and cardholder management."
"The threat landscape has also evolved. Many legacy systems lack modern security protocols, leaving them vulnerable to attack. Access control hardware, IP network security, and encryption standards have all advanced significantly. Outdated devices and technology are more prone to attack. For example, 125kHz prox cards can be cloned easily and older door controllers may not have had firmware updates in years, leaving them vulnerable to evolving cybersecurity and physical security risks."
"Switching to an open, flexible access control isn't just about upgrading hardware and software. It sets the stage for smarter, safer security infrastructure that will evolve and grow to meet changing needs. Ability to streamline A modern access control system does more than lock and unlock doors. They can make day-to-day operations easier and more efficient. A modern, unified access control system makes it easier to grant the right level of access to the right people and reduce the administration involved in managing cardholders."
The modern workplace and campus have become more mobile and flexible, creating complexity for legacy access control systems that were not designed for frequent change. Legacy systems often lack modern security protocols, making access control hardware, network security, and encryption vulnerable to attack. Outdated credentials like 125kHz prox cards can be cloned and old controllers may lack firmware updates. Upgrading to open, flexible access control enhances cyber protection, data collection on space usage, and system integration. Modern systems streamline operations through global cardholder management, simplified onboarding and offboarding, and adjustable access rules for managers. These systems support compliance with privacy, security, and industry regulations.
