The security industry is completely reinventing itself as we speak. So much so that HID, in partnership with IFSEC Insider, surveyed more than 1,200 global security professionals and developed the 2024 State of Physical Access Control Report to highlight the key trends shaping the industry.
At Alert Enterprise, we are proud to be at the forefront of addressing these trends with our innovative technology solutions. Read below to see how our offerings align with the latest trends in access control.
The report emphasizes the growing adoption of mobile access and digital IDs, driven by the need for touchless and contactless solutions. At Alert Enterprise we recognize the convenience and security that mobile credentials offer. Our NFC Wallet mobile credentials solutions enable seamless integration with mobile devices, allowing users to access buildings, log onto workstations, access smart lockers and even manage secure printing tasks via their smartphones or smartwatches. This not only enhances user experience but aligns with the trend toward digital transformation in access control. Alert Enterprise Guardian with the AE Wallet app enables the issuance and lifecycle management of mobile credentials from a single platform. The mobile credentials can be provisioned to thousands of user phones while simultaneously connecting to your physical access control systems.
