A company recently lost access to all of their buildings because their on-site access control servers got hacked. It took them over two weeks to recover from a ransomware attack, which meant that their employees could not get in the building early in the morning or late at night unless a guard was present to verify their identity and open the door for them.
Cloud-based access control is the best choice when it comes to securing your facility. No other type of access control provides more protection, is more convenient or is easier to use.
- Cloud access control allows for complete control from anywhere in the world
- Employees are able to open doors with their phone, eliminating the risk of lost or stolen keys and keycards
- There are no servers to maintain and the software is updated automatically to protect against cyber threats
- Real-time data is collected about traffic in and out of the building
- When key cards are lost or stolen, cloud based solutions make it possible to revoke access immediately
- Cloud-based access control allows for unlimited scalability and doors, offices and users can be added at any time
- Ability to open and secure doors remotely eliminates the need to hire additional on-site staff for gatekeeping
- Video surveillance integrated with cloud access control provides an additional layer of security
- API integrations available for software applications, such as HR, visitor and membership tools
