Elevating Security: The Cloud's Role in Access Control Evolution
Experts agree that we’re over the cloud-based access control adoption hump. Though some continue to lag behind, they also say there’s plenty of opportunity for growth in integration and managed services.
Cloud-based access control systems — or hybrid access control systems that may communicate with the cloud rather than operating solely in the cloud have been available for quite some time now, but there continues to be some trepidation toward adopting cloud-based solutions. According to industry experts SDM spoke with, attitudes toward cloud-based solutions have changed to the point where it would be remarkable if a customer wasn’t somewhat interested in a cloud-based solution. Still, there exists some lag in the technology’s adoption.
“I don’t hear many people today saying, ‘I really want to operate some access control software, and I’m going to make a special space in my data center to do that,’” says John Szczygiel, executive vice president and COO, Brivo, Bethesda, MD. “That would be unusual.”
