CLIQ® – Trusted security for critical infrastructure

The risk of sabotage, attacks or thefts for an energy provider is an issue of national security: the consequences of unplanned interruption to supply or total shutdown could have catastrophic, expensive and far-reaching consequences. The challenge is to maintain the security of your critical infrastructure while guaranteeing access to employees, consultants and service crews round the clock to a range of different sites. Developed with public utilities in mind, CLIQ® locking systems offer robust security to meet the needs of your critical energy infrastructure across multiple sites. A combination of electronic and mechanical security, each key can be programmed individually to allow access to specific areas at specific times, accommodating constantly changing access requirements and helping to control workflows. CLIQ® has several advantages over old-fashioned locks. It combines highly encrypted electronic identification and mechanical security in a wide range of cylinder-type applications. The lock’s power is provided by a battery inside the programmable CLIQ® key.

It is a wire-free system, and each key can be programmed and updated individually to allow access to specific areas at specific times and dates, accommodating constantly changing access requirements and ensuring maximum flexibility. Power is provided by a battery inside the programmable CLIQ® key. The new CLIQ® Web Manager software is built to serve a wide range of workflows. It allows administrators to create individual schedules for users, doors or audit trails. The revalidation function eliminates the risks of lost or stolen keys: a CLIQ® system can be set to require key revalidation when required, making it safe and easy to issue time-limited access to contractors or visitors. In addition, with different user roles, work can be divided between security administration staff. For example, one user role can be defined as “handing out keys at reception”, while another user can be made responsible for changing access rights on cylinders in the field. The CLIQ® Remote Programming Device is invaluable in assisting companies to manage these often complex workflows. Administrators operate the CLIQ® Web Manager over an Intranet or the Internet, using a standard web browser. No software installation is required, which allows for territorial independence and reduces project IT costs. The CLIQ® Web Manager will benefit large companies with complex CLIQ® installations, in particular. Multinationals with multiple administrators for different territories or organisational units can grant all of them simultaneous system access, for example. Granting tailored access to local staff with local knowledge and local responsibilities is straightforward. The software is also available in several languages, ideal for multinationals with a multilingual staff roster. For easy management, ASSA ABLOY offers software as a service hosting, or network-compatible client/server design. And ASSA ABLOY customer service is available around the clock, every day of the year.
