The benefits of mobile access with Incedo™

London, May 2023 – Mobile access adoption is growing fast. Why? Because the convenience, security and cost-saving benefits of managing access control with smartphone keys are becoming impossible to ignore.

 Global work patterns are more fluid than ever: IBM estimated the world’s remote working population in 2022 at 1.87 billion people. Within security, ASSA ABLOY´s latest Wireless Access Control Report confirms the trend: almost two-thirds of organizations will have adopted mobile access control to some extent within two years, according to a wide-ranging survey of security professionals.

Mobile access is more convenient

The user convenience of replacing plastic key-cards with their smartphone is obvious. In a mobile world, it makes sense for users to keep secure keys on a device they’re already carrying. Identical benefits have already brought a mobile-first ethos to banking, travel booking, food delivery and many more sectors. As workers and consumers, convenience is king.

With a mobile credential, employees and visitors can unlock doors and other openings with a digital key stored on their own mobile device. The same key opens the car park, accesses the printer network or even operates a vending machine, many employees now leave their traditional wallets or purses at home.

Mobile access is more flexible

From a business perspective, too, the option for facilities managers to use their own smart device to issue, amend or revoke an employee’s mobile key brings added flexibility. It frees security staff from the desk and lessens the admin.

As our work patterns become fluid, the ability to get the job done efficiently from anywhere is becoming essential. Access management via smartphone offers this.

Security managers can react fast when credential management goes mobile. Access permissions can be cancelled or amended over the air without any need for updaters, for example. With a mobile solution, facility managers save time they previously wasted in credential handovers. Everything happens instantly inside an app.

Mobile access increases security

The security of digital keys is a big step up on traditional card and fob credentials. More than 17% of respondents to one recent survey admitted losing an RFID card or fob in the previous 12 months. Key loss obviously threatens site security. How quickly would an employee notice a missing plastic key-card? The survey did not ask, but everyone would notice a missing phone more quickly.

Despite company policies against the practice, smartcards are often shared between employees. Phones are less readily passed around. In any case, smartphones have fingerprint, face ID or passcode protection built-in. This biometric protection also stops a casual thief from using on-device mobile keys.

Mobile access is more cost-efficient

Mobile credentials are simpler and quicker to administer than key-cards, which brings further cost savings. Deploying smartphone keys removes any need to purchase plastic cards — or pay for their printing. A missing plastic credential needs replacing; cancelling and reissuing a mobile credential is basically costless. In this way, mobile access control enables a business to reduce its use of non-recyclable plastics.

Making the switch to mobile access with Incedo

Keyholders already use their mobile device to purchase their shopping, board a plane or book a taxi. With Incedo mobile keys, users don’t even need to open an app to unlock the authorized door. With Incedo, the smartphone becomes a secure and versatile key, too. User experience at the door is identical: Just tap or move the phone close to a reader to unlock.

Mobile keys are part of ASSA ABLOY’s innovative Incedo access control ecosystem, a scalable, integrated solution created for businesses who need security which evolves with them. With Incedo, businesses choose from a range of wireless access control devices, wired readers, energy-harvesting key-operated cylinders and more — all unlocked with a choice of RFID credentials, smart keys or a mobile phone. Organizations manage everything from a single point with a choice of local or cloud via Incedo software.

Incedo mobile keys operate on a broad range of mobile devices, including phones and smartwatches. Incedo mobile keys are powered by SeosÒ, the latest generation of credential technology with the highest encryption and authentication standards. NFC and Bluetooth LE are both supported, ensuring total versatility.

If businesses choose the right mobile solution, the challenges of upgrading to mobile keys and access management are far fewer than many imagine.

WEBINAR: 2023 – Trends in Access Control

Digital transformation in access control continues to advance. With the help of new technologies, access control evolved into an inevitable part of providing organizations with additional benefits beyond security.

According to last-year a&s Group survey, several technologies stand out. Mature and suitable for use are multimodal biometrics, mobile access control, and multifactor authentication, while the same cannot be said for cloud access control, and partly for unimodal biometrics.

Interestingly, the market continued to adapt to the trends brought about by the pandemic. For example, contactless solutions have become the norm in the last two years. Even as the pandemic subsides, the market shows no interest in reverting to fingerprints and other legacy technologies.

Concerning the trends and innovations, a&s Adria will organize a webinar in partnership with HID, Suprema, ABLOY, and Špica Group. The webinar’s focus is to discuss the above-mentioned technologies and solutions.

ZEBRA SYSTEMS: IT services market is shifting towards MSP and MSSP services

Zebra Systems, a distributor of value-added IT security and data protection solutions, today presented the noticeable trend of the shift in the IT services market from classic hardware software sales to Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) in recent years. This shift provides organizations with comprehensive management of their IT needs and security requirements, allowing them to focus on their core business.

MSPs provide organizations with a single point of contact and service that takes care of all their IT needs, including network management, security, updates, backup, and data recovery. MSSPs, on the other hand, are more focused on security, either as part of an MSP’s services or on their own.

“The advantage of MSP and MSSP services is the contractual treatment of systems uptime and the elimination of unexpected expenses in case of an incident,” said Zdeněk Bínek, Chief Executive Director of Zebra Systems. “Our partners are increasingly using MSP solutions, which allows them to monitor and protect multiple systems from a single dashboard.”

But there are still some doubts about this. According to research by N-able, a leading provider of MSP platforms to MSP providers, only 40 % of workstations are backed up every 48 hours. Just 10 % of MSPs offer DNS filtering and only one-third of MSPs are using two-factor authentication.

Today, MSSP services include network infrastructure management, endpoint, and IT infrastructure security, backup and disaster recovery, management and security of cloud applications and services, user account management, print device management, and mobile device management and monitoring.

“A good monitoring and management system (RMM) is a core part of any service provider’s arsenal, allowing them to monitor the current status of all systems and control critical parameters in a fully automated way, and receive instant alerts,” said Nebojša Stankić, Zebra Systems Regional Manager for Southeast Europe.

From IT security tools, endpoint security is a critical factor for MSPs and MSSPs, with a move away from traditional antivirus to EDR or XDR (Endpoint/Extended Detection and Response) solutions for deeper analytics capabilities. “EDR provides protection for endpoints, whether they are workstations, servers, or laptops, and typically uses detection based on multiple methods, including machine learning and AI,” added Stankić.

Data backup and recovery is another key part of IT protection, with MSP solutions like N-able Cove Data Protection or Acronis Cyber Protect. The same with network security – GFI Software recently launched  Firewall as a Service (FWaaS) enabling MSP providers to provide firewall protection through the SaaS license model in Kerio Control.

Zebra Systems believes that MSPs and MSSPs are the future of IT services and are committed to providing the highest level of service to organizations of all sizes.

CCTV: IOT AND DATA SECURITY

As part of the progressive rise of the security market, and in particular of the CCTV sector, the drive towards IoT technologies, device integration and consequently data security, is definitely leading the way.

Artificial intelligence and deep learning have indeed become an integral part of video surveillance and, as we will see at SICUREZZA, will continue to be key themes.

It is no coincidence, therefore, that an increasing variety of vertical markets – retail, transport, education, government and finance – are showing growing interest in the development of video surveillance systems, which have multiple functionalities and at the same time provide multi-level cyber protection.

ANTI-INTRUSION: INTERCONNECTION AND TRAINING

The anti-intrusion sector is now facing a progressive push towards digital, as well as the specific requirements of Smart Home and Smart Building.

Compliance with European directives, comfort, interconnection and cloud are the features of the new solutions; and remote control intrusion detection systems are leading the way.

These systems become advanced architectures capable of managing multiple functions such as alarm, video surveillance, home automation and access control simultaneously. For this reason, design, development and adaptation to standards are particularly important, but so too is the training of installers, who are the link between end users and manufacturers. Today’s networks of installers must be fully valorised and educated, through certifications and training programmes, as will be seen at SICUREZZA 2023, which has always provided a full training programme.

FIRE PREVENTION: BETWEEN REGULATION AND DIGITISATION

The global fire market is a vital sector for the safety of people and property worldwide. Made up of a wide range of products, services and solutions for fire prevention, detection and extinguishing, it is a complex system where constant attention to regulations and global market accreditation are crucial.

The global fire market is expected to see a significant increase in demand by 2027 due to the ever-increasing requirement for safe buildings and the need to comply with constantly evolving local, national and international regulations.

Digital and wireless solutions have made it possible to develop increasingly sophisticated and customised systems capable of constantly monitoring buildings and facilities, as well as optimising the maintenance and management of installations.

Many companies attending SICUREZZA deal with this vast array of regulations, practices and innovations, making the trade fair an opportunity for in-depth analysis and discussion for each industry sector.

ACCESS CONTROL: FAR MORE THAN THAT

Biometrics, QR-CODE, Bluetooth or NFC access systems are just some of the many and most recent technologies applicable to access control, making it essential to stay abreast of new market proposals for effective management of security and user flows within buildings.

 After all, electronic systems have broadened the horizon of access points to include new features, ranging from attendance management to risk prevention and security efficiency; complex solutions that confirm the central importance of integration and interconnection.

SICUREZZA will be an opportunity to assess how the sector is evolving, which application areas are most in demand and the latest developments on the technology front.

PASSIVE SOLUTIONS AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY

In increasingly modern and high-performance architectural structures, passive security systems also have to adapt in the name of innovation, ensuring safety, but also design.

These three elements are required to coexist, as confirmed by many of the companies representing the supply chain that have already registered for SICUREZZA 2023, which opens a window on another important issue, that of combining these aspects with energy efficiency and sustainability, which are now more fundamental than ever.

What is Facial Recognition?

Facial recognition biometrically identifies facial vectors and features, matching them with pre-enrolled individuals. Recent advancements in AI technologies, based on deep neural networks (DNNs), have dramatically improved precision, unlocking a wealth of new use cases.

The technology leverages proprietary AI algorithms and mathematical equations to create an individual’s template by measuring facial variables – nose depth and width, forehead length, and eye shape. Facial recognition then compares the generated template with existing templates in a database. If there is a match, it can confirm an individual’s identity.

How Does Facial Recognition Work?

Facial recognition is by far the most powerful and relevant AI biometric technology. It has vast abilities and can carry out several tasks beyond face detection and recognition. The key features of a facial recognition engine are:

Face detection

Face detection is the first step the engine takes to confirm the presence of faces as they appear on a live camera feed, a video recording, or as it scans still image captures. The whole field of view is scanned for any area containing full or even partial human faces. Fast and precise face detection is a critical first step to ensure the performance of the entire facial recognition process.

Face feature extraction

After face detection, feature extraction is the next step. The engine first extracts an n-dimensional vector set (a template) from the facial image. Achieving very high precision requires a high “n” value. To fully ensure privacy, no actual images of faces are stored on our camera. Next, the template extracted from an individual’s face is used for matching or searching.

Face match

If the goal is to verify a person’s identity, in other words, to answer the question, “Is this person whom they say they are?” then the facial recognition engine performs a 1:1 face match. If they are already enrolled, the engine extracts a facial template from the camera feed’s live view and checks if it matches the template on file for this person.

Face search

If the goal is to answer the question, “Who is this person?” the engine completes a face search. It compares the individual’s facial template to the pre-enrolled faces in the database and confirms the person’s identity if it finds a match. The most common use of face search is a security and surveillance system using a camera to verify that a person belongs to a particular company – if their face was pre-enrolled in the company’s facial database, face search will confirm it is them and grant them access.

How Facial Recognition Will Transform Biometrics

Facial recognition technology is poised to make our world a better place. But, to do so, individuals need broader levels of education on ethical implementation to feel more comfortable with, and accepting of, businesses that have openly adopted AI biometric technology as a new, safe standard.

Facial recognition, and the potential it holds, is a more positive advancement than detractors would like to admit. It is businesses keeping their employees safe by automating secure access control in the office. It is retailers enhancing customer experiences in their stores. It is manufacturers simplifying access to their tiers of restricted areas. It is banks and fintech companies introducing much stronger authentication and cutting-edge security controls. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Facial recognition is the future of AI biometric technology. The industry needs to better educate consumers and debunk the many falsehoods circulating about this technology while explaining its positive value and potential for good. Facial recognition also needs to be appropriately regulated to not hinder innovation but bring forth its many benefits.

A Safe, Secure and Pleasurable Experience at the University

Managing students, staff and visitors was a key requirement of the university. Therefore, they opted for a secure and flexible solution from SALTO Systems that controls access to stairwells, dormitories, gates and driveways using standard university ID cards.

By: Mihael Pinsone Slanc, Business Development Manager, SALTO Systems; E-mail: m.slanc@saltosystems.com

Clare College is the second-oldest of the Cambridge colleges, with a foundation date of 1326. Located just a short walk from the centre of Cambridge, it is a lively and forward-looking college, with a strong history of academic achievement and a particular reputation for its friendly and unpretentious student community. Student life centres on the elegant seventeenth-century Old Court set in beautiful gardens beside the river in the centre of Cambridge and the twentieth-century Memorial Buildings.

The challenge

The Support Services department at the University of Cambridge needs to allow for simple and secure access to a range of buildings within the campus of the university. When one of the colleges at the university, Clare College, needed to upgrade and modernise its access control arrangements as part of a rolling programme of security improvements throughout the university, the department decided to install a bespoke electronic solution from SALTO Systems to achieve its objectives.

The previous access control system at Clare College was a simple proximity-based installation fitted several years ago to replace the original mechanical lock and key arrangement. However, this was beginning to show its age, both in its limited range of features and by the fact that to add fully online doors with electronic locks as part of the expansion programme would require a hard wired solution that would be prohibitively expensive.

Student, staff and visitor management is crucial for the university and this would be the key application for the new access control system. To achieve it a secure solution was needed to control access via entrances to staircases, student hostels, gateways and driveways using standard issue University ID cards. The college, having already taken the decision to move to the more secure Mifare card technology, needed an access system that was compatible with Mifare, was contactless and which could also provide them with everything that a hard-wired system would deliver but in a mix of online and offline standalone wire free formats and at lower cost too.

Mix of online and offline readers

Local SALTO business partner Cambridge Lock and Safe carried out the installation. One of their prime aims with the new access system was the need to reduce the time needed to manage it, without any loss of functionality, flexibility, control or security.

In order to achieve this it was necessary to consider the college’s requirements from two angles. Since Clare College uses the standard University ID Cards which support the Mifare system, a total of 47 WRM9001 contactless smart card wall readers and CU50ENSVN Control Units was needed. The online readers would then operate via the college’s Local Area Network (LAN) while the offline readers would use the SALTO VIRTUAL NETWORK (SVN).

The SVN system allows the stand-alone locks to read, receive and write information via the University ID cards. Since most access related information is kept encrypted on these cards, the wall readers are able to update and receive information from the cards at any time while from a user’s point of view, the up-dater is just another wall reader. This easy functionality opens up a whole range of possibilities and provides 90% of the benefits of a fully online access control system at the cost of a standalone system.

User movement tracking

The ‘smart’ ID cards build up ‘on-card’ audit trails through normal use enabling the Support Services department to track student, staff and visitor movement through both the offline and online parts of the system if required, and a complete access profile of each individual can be established and updated as necessary at the update wall readers.

Any ID cards that become lost or stolen can be quickly and simply deleted from the system just through visiting the readers with up-dated cards. The system also greatly reduces the number of visits necessary to offline doors, since user data is simply transferred on cards by normal usage. This functionality can revolutionise the traditional problems associated with key control, eliminating the need to replace locks when security is breached due to the loss or theft of an ID card.

Facilitated work of the faculty

Another function of SVN is departmental operation. This allows each faculty at a campus to manage only their own doors and/or users, while certain other doors and users can be simultaneously shared with other faculties, for example main entrance doors etc. This provides maximum security for each faculty with the convenience and flexibility of shared control of main access points.

“It is extremely important to us that students, staff and visitors have a safe, secure and pleasurable experience while at the university. With the installation of the SALTO access control system at Clare College we are confident this will be achieved. Its sophisticated mix of online and offline access control points together with the advantages conferred by the SVN system enable us to manage up to 64,000 users and up to 64,000 doors in a single system if required, making the college both a secure and accessible environment for all its users,” said Peter Johnson from Support Services Department.

Chicago Cubs Upgrade Security with Genetec

Genetec Inc. recently helped the Chicago Cubs’ security and technology departments undertake a massive upgrade to modernize security at the iconic Wrigley Field ballpark. Based on Genetec Security Center, Omnicast, and Streamvault, the new solution extends security to neighboring venues, parking lots, and the Chicago Cubs Front Office, keeping people safe across multiple locations.

The security modernization effort followed a multi-year restoration of the 100+ -year-old ballpark to preserve its beauty, charm, and historic features while modernizing amenities and improving the ballpark experience. The project also expanded its footprint and the surrounding campus. As the legacy security systems had been installed independently, working with multiple systems slowed the security team’s investigations and response times considerably. Additionally, the aged storage server infrastructure limited the organization’s ability to remain compliant with Department of Homeland Safety requirements around video retention.

The Cubs’ security and technology departments teamed up on a massive physical security upgrade, seeking a scalable platform that would allow for expansion of coverage, a more proactive approach to security, and a server infrastructure that would meet the requirements of their new Joint Operations Center (JOC). They chose Genetec Security Center with the Omnicast video management system (VMS) and Streamvault security infrastructure solution.

More than 1100 cameras

Today, the Cubs’ security team works 24/7 from the JOC, using Genetec Omnicast to manage more than 1100 camera views of the ballpark and community. They also integrated an existing access control system within Security Center and deployed 22 Genetec Streamvault appliances. With Security Center and Omnicast up on their monitors, the team now has an all-encompassing picture of the ballpark’s security.

Doug Lindsay, VP of Security at the Chicago Cubs, said, “In the past, our security team would have a bunch of different platforms up concurrently. They’d have to know how to find information and piece it together quickly. On a busy game day, when we’re managing many different situations, that’s hard work. With Security Center, all that information is coming into one platform, so they see what’s happening and focus exclusively on the tasks at hand. We’re definitely seeing a higher level of efficiency across our team.”

The next phase of the project will include deploying Genetec solutions at Sloan Park, the Cub’s spring training facility in Mesa, Arizona, and eventually at the Chicago Cubs Academy in the Dominican Republic, connecting those systems back to the Wrigley Field JOC to offer remote assistance as needed.
