Today, an increasing number of firms are abandoning the traditional architectural configuration of closed-off offices in favor of an open floor plan. Companies such as Facebook and Google promote their open-office floor designs to prospective employees. Claiming that perhaps the design allows employees to collaborate closely and creates a cooperative environment. Under the global management Facility Association, open-office settings currently employ 70% of American workers.
Employees frequently do not have an allotted seat or a secure file cabinet. While these structures offer versatility, they also introduce certain security vulnerabilities. The proportion of private and public spaces is distorted in open-floor design offices. This shift also affects how a firm preserves and protects its employees, as well as critical company information. Companies must then examine the security concerns of an open floor layout as well as potential data security problems.
Thus, access control safety systems are intended to defend and protect the facility and its contents by keeping unauthorized persons out and providing authorized individuals entry. The absence of physical protection exposes the property to criminal behavior such as theft, fraud, or damage. The front entrance is the starting point for every successful access control system in any office. The most latest development would be to invest in an access control system that uses biometrics for both single-factor and multi-factor authentication.
Why access control security systems?
In the past, eye scanners or fingerprints were the most accurate biometric measures; but, with the rapid growth of technology, face image extraction has quickly become a favorite. Face recognition has satisfied the needs and requirements of conventional biometric identification and authorization applications with consistency and accuracy.
The initial duty of a contactless access control system is to recognize and capture a face, which results in personnel access being granted or denied.
Face-as-a-credential technology combines surveillance cameras, facial recognition software algorithms, and access control points to provide a sophisticated, contactless access control system. This system provides secure entrance points while also tracking the movement and position of visitors and staff within the property.
The basic purpose of the access control system is to safeguard people. Access control & physical security can help secure sensitive information. Nevertheless, organizational processes and regulations must determine what data can be accessed, when, and where it can be accessed. To mitigate possible security threats in an open workplace setting, data protection and physical security must be perfect.
