Integrating the Internet into the physical world was initially a slow shift. With the advent of the Internet of Things, it has gained unprecedented momentum. Multiple "smart" tools with computing capabilities are getting smaller and cheaper, resulting in broader availability and usability. At the time of the arrival of the Internet of Things, we have to worry about some of the network security issues it brings, and the security of the Access Control System is often a trend of "one foot high, one high."

The composition of the Internet of Things, through the integration of complex sensors with smart devices or electric devices, also plays an important role in the integration of the physical and digital worlds. New sensor technologies such as proximity, infrared, image, optical, temperature, smoke and pressure sensors have surfaced. They promote the automation of many processes, and the automation of the Access Control System brings security to a home or a location. And they are all intelligent based on the network. From many perspectives, there are always many security vulnerabilities in the Internet, and these vulnerabilities are often exploited by hackers, making the IoT devices of the home or company become a hidden danger.

How does IoT network security become a comprehensive security challenge?

Smart devices offer plenty of opportunities to streamline business processes. They also reveal new weaknesses in these same processes. If an intruder has more touch points to access the security ecosystem - including physical and digital objects - the risk increases exponentially as the number of connected devices, applications and sensors increases.

Can the Access Control System be combined with network security to operate safely?

Access control devices have become easier to operate on physical network linkages, but it is worth considering how to prevent network security problems in the network. In the intelligent Access Control System, we mainly face the establishment of security networks for security devices and networks. What needs to be addressed is the establishment of barriers and checkpoints between the newly merged physical and network worlds. This requires a multi-faceted effort, whether it is a device manufacturer or an IoT network provider, and we need to work toward this goal.

If we can overcome these inherent IoT network security challenges, then whether it is an Access Control System device or other physical network devices, it will have a bright future.

Regardless of whether it is integrated into the physical network, the Access Control System also plays its role in security in the industry. From the card to the security linkage to the intelligent physical network, it plays a far-reaching role in it. Safe cities are constantly working hard.
