When it comes to on-site security, many businesses are left asking the question, why should I upgrade my access control technology?
The traditional access control card and fob are tried and tested security measures, but it may be time to update the system and make sure your on-site security is in a position to support and protect your business in 2020.
In this blog we will explain the difficulties legacy access control systems create, and why 2020 is the perfect time to update on-site security.
There isn’t usually something technically wrong with an older access control system. But technology moves on. Older 125kHz-based credentials just are no longer secure. They can be easily cloned with the use of cheap tools readily available online.
In 2020 these access control systems which may have worked previously are more in danger of security breaches, system downtime and hacking attempts.
Newer businesses won’t look into a 125kHz access control system so why should yours settle for it? It is an affordable system but the saving is greatly outweighed by the risk if your on-site security needs to be at a certain level.
With the many ways we have changed how we work and how we view security over the past year, many businesses are taking this time to re-evaluate their security systems.
Our team have been working with our customers to make sure the post-COVID workplace is secure for employees and visitors, reducing touchpoints, investing in safe visitor management systems and temperature screening kiosks.
Combining these measures with an updated access control system, your business can jump ahead in security, and reassure staff that security in all forms is a top priority.
