SSI’s Most Valuable Security Products of 2022: Recognizing R&D That Makes an MVP

Access Control Runners-Up: AlertEnterprise Policy-Based Access Control Cloud Service

As companies shift to hybrid work models, a glaring gap in physical security is card-based building access for employees. Owing to the limitations of legacy access control systems, most organizations grant 24/7 access to all employees, regardless of their specific needs or policies. This opens the enterprise to new levels of liability in terms of employee safety, security breaches and compliance.

The AlertEnterprise Policy-Based Access Control Cloud Service is designed to solve the 24/7 access problem and help organizations tighten up their physical security posture — even as schedules become more sporadic and site locations expand. By automating PBAC, employees would only be able to access company facilities during their designated shifts and meet all compliance requirements. $8-$20 per identity
