ČETRTA POT: Why System Integrators Are Choosing European Access Control

The security industry is undergoing a fundamental transformation. As enterprise organisations become increasingly dependent on connected technologies, the selection of security infrastructure is no longer based solely on functionality, performance and price.

Today, digital sovereignty, the origin of technology, long-term product availability and access to European technical support are becoming increasingly important criteria in technology procurement. Organisations want greater transparency regarding where solutions are developed, how cybersecurity is managed and whether manufacturers can provide reliable product development, maintenance and support throughout the entire system lifecycle.

This shift is being reinforced by a changing geopolitical environment, growing supply-chain concerns and the increasing strategic importance of protecting critical infrastructure. As a result, organisations across Europe are placing greater value on trusted technology partners that develop and manufacture their solutions within the European Union and operate in accordance with European regulations, quality standards and cybersecurity requirements.

At the same time, regulatory frameworks such as the NIS2 Directive are raising expectations around cybersecurity, operational resilience and supply-chain security. Identity & Access Control systems are therefore no longer viewed simply as tools for controlling entry into buildings. They are becoming an integral part of an organisation’s overall security and identity architecture.

For system integrators, this creates both new opportunities and new responsibilities. Enterprise projects increasingly require more than reliable readers, controllers and credentials. They require an integrated technology platform capable of connecting identities, devices, access rights and workforce processes while remaining secure, scalable and supported over the long term.

From Access Control to an Integrated Enterprise Platform

Modern Access Control extends far beyond controlling entry into buildings. Today’s organisations expect physical access, logical access, mobile credentials, time & attendance and workforce management to operate within one centrally managed ecosystem. Employees, contractors and visitors should be able to use a single trusted identity across physical and digital environments, while administrators manage access rights, security policies and audit trails from one platform.

As a result, organisations are increasingly looking for integrated Identity & Access Control platforms rather than collections of standalone products. They want fewer technology vendors, simplified integrations and a clear line of responsibility for hardware, software, firmware, identity media and technical support.

For system integrators, partnering with a European platform manufacturer is therefore becoming a strategic business decision, not simply a product selection. One example of this new generation of European Identity & Access Control platforms is KADRIS 4, developed and manufactured by the Slovenian company ČETRTA POT. The platform demonstrates how enterprise organisations can unify physical security, workforce management and identity management within a single ecosystem while working with one trusted European manufacturer.

Discover KADRIS 4 at Adria Security Summit 2026

At this year’s Adria Security Summit, visitors will have the opportunity to discover KADRIS 4 – the international platform and market brand of ČETRTA POT, a Slovenian manufacturer and developer with more than 35 years of experience in developing and manufacturing enterprise security solutions. KADRIS 4 combines Enterprise Identity & Access Control, Time & Attendance, Workforce Management, Mobile Credentials and Physical & Logical Access within one integrated ecosystem.

Unlike vendors focusing on only one layer (hardware, software or HR), KADRIS 4 is a vertically integrated platform. From in-house designed and manufactured controllers, terminals and readers, through firmware and enterprise software, to HR and payroll processes, everything is developed as one integrated ecosystem. One platform, one vendor, one accountability. The platform is trusted by more than 950 organisations, including Bayer, Novartis, Elan, Kansai Helios, Trelleborg, Addiko Bank, Gorenjska Banka, Elektro Ljubljana, Elektro Gorenjska, hospitals, ministries and numerous public authorities.

Designed for enterprise environments, KADRIS 4 is built around European quality and security standards, including EN 60839-11-1 (Security Grades 2 – 4), ISO 27001 and ISO 22301. Its NIS2-ready architecture is complemented by advanced NXP-based cryptography and quantum-ready identity media built on NXP MIFARE DUOX® technology (CC EAL6+, AES-256 and ECC dual encryption), providing organisations with a future-ready foundation for enterprise identity management.

Online Fraud Steals €780,000 from Bosnian Ammunition Manufacturer

Bosnia and Herzegovina-based Igman d.d. Konjic, one of the largest manufacturers of military and sporting ammunition in Southeast Europe, has fallen victim to an online fraud scheme in which approximately €780,000 was stolen from the company’s bank account. According to the information available so far, the attackers did not compromise Igman’s internal systems but instead gained access to the email account of one of its suppliers. This allowed them to monitor business correspondence and, at the crucial moment, send modified payment instructions containing fraudulent SWIFT and IBAN details. As the message appeared to be part of the companies’ regular business communication, the payment was transferred to an account controlled by the attackers, after which the funds were routed through multiple foreign bank accounts to make tracing more difficult.

Cybersecurity experts warn that attacks of this type, known as Business Email Compromise (BEC), are among the most costly forms of cybercrime and are becoming increasingly sophisticated with the help of artificial intelligence, which enables highly convincing phishing messages and greater attack automation. Following the incident, renewed calls have been made to strengthen Bosnia and Herzegovina’s national cybersecurity capabilities, including the adoption of a national cybersecurity strategy and the establishment of a functional Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT).

The case has also raised concerns about security procedures for financial transactions, as payments of such significant amounts should be protected by additional verification measures, including multi-level authorization and independent confirmation of any changes to banking details before funds are transferred.
