IP-based door access control
|
|
Most organisations strive to increase security of their buildings and IT infrastructure. Both are important – there is no point making PC logon secure if someone can walk in and take a laptop without physical barriers in place, and there is no point securing a building's perimeter or a server room if someone can log in remotely and download data without suitable authority.
Traditionally these two aspects of security have been managed and implemented by different departments, supported by different supply chains. Facilities managers specify and select door access systems and IT managers set up and manage the network.
In a bid to bring physical access solutions within the remit of the IT department, Dot Origin offers a range of products aimed at integrating door access control into the IT network. These include the IP-connected and Ethernet-powered Edge controllers from HID and Dot Origin's EdgeConnector software, that optionally links these with Active Directory.
This enables IT departments to manage physical access rights alongside existing PC user rights, increasing security and providing a convenient platform for single-sign-on and unified role management, but without disenfranchising security personnel.
Dot Origin has extensive knowledge and experience of IP-based physical access systems along with the many kinds of cards and readers used in this industry. For further information on how these products can be integrated with other IT systems and security solutions please contact us.
