Access control system restricts unauthorized access into a company’s physical assets, such as campuses, buildings, and cards, and sensitive data like network, file, username, and password. It involves validating personal identity documents, verifying the authenticity of a website with a digital certificate, and checking login credentials against stored details. Nowadays, several organizations are relying on access control systems that incorporate user credentials, card readers, intercom, auditing, and reporting. They initiate lockdown procedures and restrict unauthorized entry into rooms and buildings.

Access Control Market Trends:
Digitization of core business processes due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak and the consequent shift towards remote working models has increased the risk of cybersecurity threats and attacks. This is encouraging organizations worldwide to deploy access control systems for tracking and monitoring purposes, preventing data breaches, and ensuring business continuity. Moreover, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are employing multi-factor authentication (MFA) models that rely on biometrics, key fob, password, and personal identification number (PIN) to verify an individual’s identity. These models restrict access to buildings for onsite personnel, visitors, and media and improve physical security. Furthermore, healthcare firms are leveraging physical and electronic access control systems to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of protected health information (PHI) and ensure the privacy of patients’ data. Apart from this, due to the rising terrorism threat, security agencies of various countries are focusing on strengthening security at military sites and international borders. This, in turn, is driving the demand for role-based access control to monitor the entry of applicants at restricted areas and maintain a safe and secure site. Besides this, the rising need for security control in large industrial applications, schools, commercial buildings, and apartments is anticipated to drive the market.
