Access Control Security During the Holiday Season

By Alex Jimenez Marketing Manager CALA & US RBH Access Technologies Inc.

In many countries worldwide, the holiday season is synonymous with celebrations and time off work. However, this period also often sees an increase in thefts and intrusions in businesses. One of the main reasons for this is the improper handling of access credentials, which are often left in vulnerable and easily accessible places for unauthorized individuals.

Technological Solutions for Enhanced Security

Access management systems have advanced tools to minimize such risks, especially during breaks or holidays. One of these key tools is the activation with start and end times, allowing administrators to enable or disable credentials on specific dates and times.

Advanced management systems, such as AxiomXa, offer even more precise configurations. For example, the access level module allows for the automatic activation and deactivation of credentials during specific periods, such as holidays. Additionally, AxiomXa integrates this functionality with Microsoft Active Directory, streamlining the automation of these processes. Its Card Import-Export module further simplifies management by allowing for the quick and efficient temporary or permanent activation and deactivation of credentials.

Preventing Unauthorized Access

Another common scenario that creates vulnerabilities is when a cardholder is permanently enabled in areas where they should only be passing through or where access at a specific level was meant to be temporary. To prevent this, RBH Access Technologies Inc. allow for the configuration of start and end access schemes at special or multiple access levels. This strengthens corporate security and eliminates reliance on system administrators' memory, which is one of the main sources of errors in access control management.

Security Beyond the Doors

Access control is not limited to managing who enters or exits through a door. For this reason, we at RBH Access emphasize that any oversight, no matter how small, can compromise the security of a company, its assets, and its personnel. Therefore, implementing clear protocols and automated tools is essential to ensuring safer environments.

Final Reflection

This holiday season, we invite businesses to reflect on the importance of maintaining secure access management practices. A well-configured system not only protects facilities and resources but also provides peace of mind to employees, even in their absence.

From RBH Access, we wish you happy holidays with your loved ones. Our commitment remains to ensure the security of your workspaces.
