TECHNOLOGY UPDATE INCIDENT DATA EYE-ON-TECH IFSEC


IFSEC 2017 had 578 companies exhibiting from 39 countries around the globe


Whilst the majority of visitors were from the UK, 35% of the 27,000 attendees were from outside the UK, most of them from Europe. More interestingly to note is the audience itself. Over 60% of the attendees were end users. This clearly indicates the high level of interest from end users in identifying the latest products on the market and investing in the right technologies and solutions for their needs.


Having walked around the exhibition hall I must say there was innovation on show but nothing revolutionary. Many companies seem to be working hard on improving their current solutions at better prices. For the customer it means that most suppliers will deliver quality, but often with a different set of features.

ONVIF (onvif.org) announces final release of Profile A for broader access control configuration


As you probably know, ONVIF is the global standardisation initiative for IP-based physical security products. Today, ONVIF is mainly used for IP Video Protocol standardisation. If a device (a camera) and a client (a recorder) have the same ONVIF Profile, then a certain set of functions can be executed between the two, regardless of the brand of the device or the client. In other words, the device and client should seamlessly talk to each other.


For video, ONVIF will propose different Profiles such as Profile S (very well known) or Profile G and, more recently, Profile Q which includes TLS support, a secure communication protocol between devices and clients.


Just recently ONVIF launched the Profile A for products used in a physical access control system (PACS) environment. Expect access control manufacturers to conform step-by-step to this new Profile. It will allow you soon to ‘mix & match’ access control products from different vendors when needed.

Facility managers can update, amend, revoke or renew access rights remotely using the CLIQ Web Manager software and the latest Bluetooth technology paired with a mobile phone. This enables a mobile worker in any location to access locks. They simply open the CLIQ Connect app on their mobile phone to transfer updated access permissions instantly to their programmable CLIQ key via Bluetooth.

Where will you spend your future security budget?


The access control market is projected to reach US$10.03 billion by 2023 from $6.39 billion in 2016 at a CAGR of 6.48% from 2017 to 2023. This will be driven by the high adoption of access control systems due to growing security concerns, technological advancements, the deployment of wireless technology in security systems, and the adoption of Internet of Things (IoT)-based security systems.
