| Access Control |
With a steady declining economy and
increasing crime rates, all companies and organizations must do their
part to increase the security status of their organizations by
following proper access control procedures. There are many, many ways
to increase security at the work place, but the most common is access
control.
Access Control is the ability to permit or deny the use of a particular resource by a
particular entity. Access control mechanisms can be used in managing physical resources,
logical resources or digital resources.
Item control or Electronic key management is an area within an access control system which
concerns the managing of possession and location of small assets or physical keys.
Physical Access control is a matter of whom, where, and when. An access control system
determines who is allowed to enter or exit, where they are allowed to
exit or enter and when they are allowed to enter or exit.
In
the past this was accomplished through keys and locks. When a door is
locked only someone with a key can enter through that door depending on
how the lock is configured. Mechanical locks and keys do not allow
restriction of the key holder to specific times and dates. Mechanical
locks do not provide records of the key used on any specific door and
the keys can be easily copied or transferred to an unauthorized per
son. When a mechanical key is lost or the key holder is no longer
authorized access, the locks must be re-keyed.
Electronic
access control uses computers to solve the limitations of mechanical
locks and keys. A wide range of credentials can be used to replace
mechanical keys. The electronic access control system grants access
based on the credential presented. When access is granted, the door is
unlocked for a predetermined amount of time and the transaction is
recorded. The system will also monitor the door and alarm if the door is
forced open or held open too long after being unlocked.
Security Risks
The most common security risk/breach of an access control system is through “tailgating”
or
“Piggy Backing” which prefers to the practice of an unauthorized person
following an authorized person through an open door. Tailgating implies
that the person who received authorization is not aware that another
person has followed them through the door, while piggy backing implies
that the credentialed person has agreed to let another person through
an open door. By eliminating these security violations and increasing
security awareness among employees, a business or organization will
increase workplace safety and security.
