"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 Outdated devices and technology are more prone to attack.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."
"It's time to upgrade. Modern systems help protect against cyber threats, gather data on how spaces are used, and integrate with other systems. They can support staff to keep up with increasingly demanding regulatory compliance requirements around privacy, security, and industry-specific demands. 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."
Workplaces and campuses have become more fluid, with employees working offsite, on flexible schedules, and organizations increasingly using contractors, which complicates scheduling and cardholder management. Many legacy access control systems lack modern security protocols, making hardware and older controllers vulnerable to cloning and cyberattack. Modern access control protects against cyber threats, collects space-use data, integrates with other systems, and helps meet regulatory compliance for privacy and industry requirements. Unified systems reduce administrative burden by simplifying access rule management, speeding onboarding and offboarding, and enabling global cardholder operations that let operators enroll visitors and employees with just a few clicks.
