For decades industrial partners have struggled with access eligibility and access control – let’s talk about it. With their employees, contractors and other stakeholders all accessing their facilities at various hours, it can be difficult keeping track of who is accessing them. Many of the systems used today are outdated due to the necessity of physical credentials. These are easily reproduced and lead to vulnerabilities in their facility access. Active Witness developed a solution called Sima, and it is a highly secure and frictionless cloud based access control reader, which gives industrial clients single and two-factor credentials at their convenience when they need it, while also giving them peace of mind with greater loss prevention.
Their visitors and employees expect convenience when it comes to facility access. Sima enables security administrators to issue digital keys (QR codes) in an instant and users can self enroll their photo for facial verification in < 60 seconds. The use of single and two-factor credentials provides their employees maximum convenience by eliminating the need for physical credentials. When businesses need that additional layer of protection, admins can turn on multi-factor, whereby users must scan their mobile credentials and face to gain access to highly secure areas.
In today’s digital world, using face verification and QR codes have become common practice whether it is to unlock a smartphone or view a restaurant’s menu. Sima is no different here and meets user demand.
Not only does Sima meet technology where it currently stands, but is also futureproof. It’s a forward thinking, access control technology that is frictionless, which will make it the standard in security practice.
With Sima being easily scalable and requiring no third party software, this security solution is much more affordable compared to competitor systems.
