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.
Is your organization considering a switch from traditional physical access cards to mobile? Mobile access improves user experience, strengthens security and improves operational efficiency — all while helping you achieve your sustainability goals.

We’ve put together a checklist of what you need to consider for a successful mobile access deployment — sorted into the three most critical areas:
- Interoperability (with other systems and technologies)
- Security and compliance
- User experience (UX)
