Abloy Look in to Cyber Security of Businesses
CLIQ Systems at Abloy UK has been exploring the changes that have taken place in regards to cyber security and the ways in which companies need to assess their operations in order to reduce the chance of a cyber-attack. Over the last ten years, security and access control has adapted in order to keep up with the changes in technology. There have also been introductions to the industry that improves the level of time management and traceability of mechanical keys. As part of this it means that Passkeys, Cryptographic keys and Encryption keys are all being used more and more often. Because of this, and with more and more information being stored online, cyber security is becoming essential. There is an increasing number of high profile cases of data theft and loss, illustrating why it is essential security is improved to prevent attacks. Research has been carried out which shows that 93% of large organisations and 87% of small businesses experienced a security breach in 2013. Those that were affected by these breaches also reported an increase of 50% in the volume of breaches since the previous year. Keys are available in order to offer access to critical assets such as servers which could provide access to office databases and platforms where customer accounts are managed. Many organisations are not aware how many keys are in circulations or where they are at any point of time, which could be damaging to their security. Abloy UK offers physical protection such as locking systems as well as data protection which uses a selection of accredited software and infrastructure providers to offer the best protection to their customers. The solutions on offer allow users secure access to an online management application that allows them to change their key access permissions, profiles, schedules and validity.
Abloy UK Released a New Version of Their Intelligent Access Control System
Abloy UK has released a new version of their intelligent access control system. The expert security company have announced the release of the new SMARTairâ¢. The new system has received a few updates which means that users of the standalone intelligent access system will find it easier to program individual key-codes or cards on to the unit. These updates are expected to make using the system faster and more efficient. The new version of the security expertsâ system also contains a sample user interface. The new Abloy UK access system has been manufactured in order to make programming take less than a minute. For this SMARTair⢠unit there is a keypad of controls which make programming another code of keycard easier and quicker. Much like the previous version of the SMARTairâ¢, it can be linked with other established security systems. The new unit is also adaptable, so it is compatible with a range of different installation environments. The keypad on the new unit offers an additional mode of entry making it well suited for use at a range of different organisations including offices and hospitals. The standard package that is being offered by Abloy for their new SMARTairâ¢unis consists of an Abloy EL160 Lock case and an Abloy SMARTair Escutcheon with the added benefit of a keypad unit and an ABLOY NOVEL patented cylinder. The EL160 component of the locking system will re-deadlock a door each time a door locks, this way the entry is always secure. The SMARTair handle means that users and guests will be able to allow entry from the inside while the outside handle remains disabled until a valid entry system is used. The older version of the SMARTair⢠unit proved to be popular with a variety of different organisations and the new updated unit is expected to be as successful, especially with the extra features that have been added.
