Critical business assets demand multi-layered security. This principle applies equally to virtual and physical assets: Data may be mission-critical to a business, just as people and premises are. Data security tools will include the latest in cyber-security — perhaps even artificial intelligence — working alongside physical security technologies such as electronic access control.
It can be a challenge to find an ideal electronic lock for every opening, and then to manage them all within a single, integrated solution. All too often, security procurement involves difficult compromises: A system which works perfectly for one door or department leaves another where the same solution doesn’t quite meet its needs. At newly built commercial premises in Banská Bystrica, Slovakia, power-tool manufacturer Makita stocks and distributes batteries, and runs wholesale supply logistics. They searched for a single, intuitive system to control every access point — now and in the future.

Standards and compliance perform a critical role for security and facility managers. They set a quality baseline for locking and security hardware. They help customers quickly compare attributes across products. Insurance providers require security to meet relevant standards. Taking a short-cut could prove an expensive mistake - Assa Abloy aims to combat this problem with easy and affordable access control.
Intelligent, programmable keys put the powerful features of electronic access control into a convenient technology. They have the advantages of traditional lock-and-key security: familiar and user-friendly. But they have evolved. An electronic locking solution minimizes security risks when keys go missing. Facility managers can manage everyone’s access from anywhere, at any time — electronically, securely and cable-free.
Size can be a major factor for any security project. The bigger the scale, the greater the challenge. With hundreds of doors and a 3km perimeter, the Flanders Expo is larger than most buildings. They sought a modern replacement for mechanical locking - and finally decided on Assa Abloy's Cliq locking system.

Cannabis is now fully legal in 15 states across the country in the U.S. and decriminalized in 11 others. But as more states sign off on legalized weed, those looking to enter the potentially lucrative retail cannabis market, whether it is medical or recreational, will need to procure licenses or permits to operate. Since cannabis is not regulated by the federal government, every state has its own regulations and application process in place. However, the one constant is that each state requires strict security measures to be initiated to provide for the safety and security of the operation, its associates, and the neighborhood within which it operates. Most states call this a “Security Plan” and require its details be submitted with the application to operate, but what exactly is a “Security Plan?”
