Smart devices, mobile phones and tablets are becoming the control hub for the myriad of connected devices and the Internet of Things (IoT) – as are bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies in many organizations today. But this is creating unique and heightened security risks for IT professionals, such as higher exposure to data breaches, malware and compliance violations. BYOD is no longer an industry trend; it’s a fact of life for enterprise-wide operations and the IT organizations that must support them.
Access control for physical and cyber systems are both essential to the overall security of your organization. But much of the physical access control (PACS) technology is outdated, including the communication protocols driving it. PACS solutions that become old and vulnerable enable bad actors to gain access to a host of protected assets.
Physical access control doesn’t have to be the weak link in your security program. IDG and HID Global® have partnered to deliver a practical guide capturing best practices for implementing new, more dynamic access control technologies.
