THE DIGITAL REVOLUTION
Managing a modern organisation or business comes with many security challenges, and access control needs may be constantly changing and evolving. For example, staff leave, new staff join, keys are lost, and access rights need to be changed.
»»
WITH THESE EVER-CHANGING requirements, many owners and facilities managers are looking to digital solutions to solve their security challenges. Innovative software and cutting-edge hardware can combine to create keys and locks designed to match an organisation’ s specific needs.
Access rights can be issued, denied and monitored in real time with no need for wires or power in cylinders, padlocks and cam locks. These products are also as simple to install as their mechanical counterparts, offering the very best in both flexibility and security.
Access technology is also increasingly forming part of a greater, fully integrated infrastructure system that links every aspect of a building together, such as heating and lighting controls.
RISKY BUSINESS
However, with all this new technology comes risk, and the need to keep data protected. In fact, research shows that in 2015, 90 percent of large organisations and 74 percent of small businesses experienced an information security breach.
CLIQ ® Go
But there are systems available that allow for the physical safety of a building, as well as maintaining the digital security of data collected.
PROTEC2 CLIQ ® is an electronic key system where all the power is retained by the key or locks themselves. This means no wiring is required, whether the system uses door cylinders, cabinet locks or padlocks.
Users have secure access to the online management application from anywhere in the
world and can change key access permissions, profiles, schedules and validity, even revoking their use virtually at the‘ CLIQ’ of a button.
CLIQ keys are validated daily, weekly or monthly keeping them continuously secure. The CLIQ system enables the organisation to comprehensively track and audit who has access to which locations, when they had access and how often. Access can be granted only at the exact moment it is required, mitigating the risk associated with lost or stolen keys.
What’ s more, Abloy uses accredited software and infrastructure providers that provide enterprise level SaaS solutions, compliant with European and National standards for physically secure key systems.
Abloy also uses the latest techniques to secure its customers’ data behind three factor authentications, standard 256-bit AES encryption and industry standard PKI or Public Key Infrastructure.
Enhancing this solution is the introduction of CLIQ Connect and the incorporation of Bluetooth Low
