Access Control Systems from MCA

What is an Access Control System?

An access control system is an electronic security system that controls access physically and virtually. Access control systems help protect employees, property, and sensitive data. They provide valuable data regarding how networks and physical locations are accessed.

Physical access control refers to controlling who can enter a building, area, or location. A physical access control system requires individuals to use an access card or their smartphone, incorporates facial recognition to identify individuals, or requires individuals to provide their fingerprints to access locked gates, doors, or other barriers. There are numerous benefits to physical access control systems, such as providing easier access for employees, keeping track of who enters and exits a building, and protecting against intruders.

Virtual access control refers to controlling who can access computer networks and data. An access control system requires a user to enter a password or a pin code to access this sensitive information. A virtual access control system protects organizations against data breaches.

Credential Management

The pandemic magnified the need for touch-free options. But even before the pandemic, most people would likely prefer their smartphones if they could.
