HID Global along with Infographic has revealed a new survey report on practices used for physical access control. The survey of 600 respondents revealed enterprise end users’ perceptions about change and the importance of industry best practices, and how well today technology is and policy best practices are being implemented. The attitudes uncovered in the survey affect how well organizations can defend against increasingly dangerous and costly security threats, both now and in the future.
“This survey raises questions about how well organizations are keeping up with the bad guys. Complacency isn’t wise, however, and adherence to industry best practices will be increasingly critical in order to take advantage of the coming generation of technologies and capabilities, including mobile access control on smartphones. A reliance on legacy infrastructure, technology and mindsets will make it hard to keep up with today’s technology advances that address a world of increasingly sophisticated threats,” said John Fenske, Vice-President – Product Marketing, Physical Access Control, HID Global.
HID Global believes that current perceptions about access control will have an impact on the adoption of future technologies. For instance, mobile access control on smartphones will enable a more hassle-free access control experience for users, who can carry all of their keys and credentials on a device they carefully protect and rarely lose or forget. However, if the market continues to delay shoring up its best practices now against today’s threats to traditional cards and readers, it will be difficult for enterprise infrastructures to seamlessly move to digital credentials carried on smartphones in a BYOD deployment environment with new and different security threats.
