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.

The access control industry underwent a seismic shift due to the global pandemic. In addition to its traditional security role, the industry had to rapidly adapt to new health and safety mandates, which resulted in the adoption of many new technologies.

Today, as many organizations consider hybrid working models, the access control sector will again be at the forefront of providing solutions that address the need for enhanced security, efficiencies in building occupancy and improved user convenience.

These are just a few of the trends our State of Physical Access Control Report 2022 covers, following a survey of over 1,000 professionals in the global access control and security sectors.


The report also provides insights and commentary on:

  • The adoption of touchless technologies
  • Open standards and the drive for increased integration
  • The evolution of access control outside of physical security
  • Global risks associated with outdated and legacy systems
