Keeping your business and team safe isn’t just about locks and keys anymore. Card access systems have become the go-to way to protect buildings and make sure only the right people get in. But as tech evolves, so do the tricks hackers use to break in. That’s why it’s super important to keep your access control system updated.
The Changing Face of Card Access Technology
Card access systems have come a long way since the days of basic magnetic stripe readers. Today’s systems use advanced encryption, biometrics, and even mobile credentials to stay one step ahead of cyber threats. But not every business is keeping up with these changes.
Older card readers still used by many organizations are easy targets for hackers. Believe it or not, researchers at Black Hat, the biggest security conference in the U.S., showed off a $10 gadget that could copy key cards from common access systems in under 60 seconds. Even worse, they estimated that 80% of companies are using outdated technology that’s vulnerable to this kind of attack.
Why Upgrading Matters
The fallout from a security breach can be brutal—think financial losses, data theft, and a damaged reputation. Upgrading to modern card access solutions can help you avoid all that. Here’s what newer systems bring to the table:
- Encrypted Communication: Keeps hackers from duplicating your cards.
- Two-Factor Authentication: Combines card access with a PIN or fingerprint for extra security.
- Cloud-Based Management: Lets you monitor and tweak access settings from anywhere, anytime.
Making the switch to updated technology doesn’t just protect your business; it also gives your team peace of mind knowing they’re working in a secure environment.
