Historically, the systems used to secure access to physical facilities were different than those technologies used to secure access to internal network assets. In recent years, the demands placed on IT security professionals to protect against increasing cyber security threats from weak password-basd internal controls has led to a convergence around a common identity credential to integrate the access control systems that protect both physical and network systems. The requirements to strongly authenticate credentials in real time have resulted in a new generation of ID security solutions based on PKI-based digital certificates and known as Enterprise Physical Access Control Systems or E-PACS. This session will explain this security architecture and describe how digital credentials are established and used within the system to support both physical and logical access across the enterprise.
