Access Control Solutions for Critical Infrastructure and High Security Applications

Ensuring that these installations are not accessed by unauthorized people is the job of well thought-out security systems. GIT SECURITY takes a look at some of the solutions to mitigate the risks of theft, vandalism and acts of terrorism and to protect critical infrastructure and other high security locations.

No Touch, No Problem: How QR Codes Add Benefits to Access Control
While QR codes aren’t new, it’s fair to say that 2020 became the comeback year for this technology. Be it the replacement of paper menus with QR codes on tables, which guests could scan to get a virtual menu on their mobile device, touchless payment options, or access control solutions that allow contactless visitor management – the global pandemic put contactless technology back in the spotlight. What also came into focus was the healthcare industry, that had to suddenly adjust to the new situation – probably more than any other industry. In the attempt of keeping people healthy and safe that’s when these two sectors crossed – because access control (specifically with QR code systems) played an interesting role for healthcare establishments.
