Access Control: Whats on the Horizon Security Magazine (12/14) Security Magazine recently interviewed Jason Ouellette, Tyco Security Products product line director for access control, about future trends in access control. Some of the major changes that the market has seen in the past couple years include the move from integrations to unified platforms, which provide access and video information with a single-server solution, Ouellette said. He adds that the cloud is being used in access control, but that data privacy and access in case of a disaster remain major concerns. Ouellette says the government and corporate sectors, as well as medium- and large-sized businesses, are increasingly interested in using enterprise access control. While costs and reliability have limited the use of biometrics, Ouellette says that the technology and adoption have improved, and it is another area where growth can be expected. Standardization organizations are beginning to develop access-control standards, with the Security Industry Association (SIA)s Open Supervised Device Protocol and Physical Security Interoperability Alliance calling for interoperability between access-control systems. IT departments are playing a significant role in the installation of access control, Ouellette said, and are now primarily responsible for making decisions regarding access control.
