Access control systems to become more mobile, secure and connected throughout 2016

Access control systems are likely to become more mobile and connected, while also focusing more on the user experience and security throughout 2016, security experts at HID Global have forecasted.

The HID Global’s 2016 trends point to a more mobile and connected experience, ongoing advancements in privacy protection and broader adoption of best practices for solution deployment.

The company’s researchers found that making security more mobile will also improve the user’s overall safety and protection against electronic threats on a permanent basis. Furthermore, access control systems and security solutions providers will likely focus more on the user experience, thus

reducing the gap between planning and compliance, while ensuring that security adapts to rather than defines end-user habits and lifestyles.

Another major trend in the access control systems’ segment is that of connected identities, where multi-layered security strategies that also include biometrics will have to be used in order to associate these identities to their legitimate owners.

Moreover, identity will likely expand beyond people and their personal identity to the identity of objects and their authenticity, accentuating the need to protect personal information across increasingly interconnected devices, services and applications, while security policies and best practices will become as important as technology advances.
