Nedap shows latest innovation in cyber-secured access control

Nedap has showcased its AEOS end-to-end security solution , which is said to massively reduce risks of cyber attack .
Launched at Milestone Systems ’ Integration Expo event on September 12 , delegates had the opportunity to see first hand how the integration between Nedap ’ s AEOS and Milestone XProtect Access Plug-in allows users to enjoy the features of an advanced access control system inside the Milestone VMS environment .
This allows operators to exchange cardholder information , monitor entrances , manage alarms and perform full video verification , all in one integrated system .
Nedap ’ s AEOS end-to-end solution is said to provide end-to-end security , a key requirement given increasing concerns about connecting devices to the IoT . An open platform is essential if all the information between IoT connected devices is to be processed and shared with other systems .
A spokesman for Nedap said : ‘ By encrypting all communication between a card , the controller and the server , security is ensured at every level of the access control system : From the level of the door to the very core of the AEOS system .
‘ Card readers have no role in decrypting data , for example , so secure communication between card and controller is guaranteed . Digital certificates , meanwhile , are stored in the same Secure Access Module ( SAM ), ensuring secure communication between controller and server .’ For further information visit : www . nedapsecurity . com
