Matrix's cloud access control system boosts security

The client encountered serious security challenges, particularly the unauthorised entry into the office premises. This breach highlighted the urgent need for a reliable access control solution.

With 200 users needing access through different methods such as RFID cards, Bluetooth®, and QR codes, the client sought a comprehensive, cloud-based access control system that could efficiently manage and monitor access, while also being scalable and user-friendly.

Challenges

The client sought a cloud-based access control system to address the following challenges:

• Unauthorised Access
  • Unauthorised individuals had entered the office premises, creating a major security threat. This breach not only endangered employee safety but also put sensitive information and office assets at risk.
• Credential Management
  • Handling multiple credential types for 200 users was a complex task. The client needed a solution that could seamlessly integrate RFID cards, Bluetooth®, and QR codes without complicating user experience or administrative processes.
• Scalability and Integration
  • The client required a scalable, cloud-managed solution that did not depend on third-party hardware or software integration. They needed a flexible system that could grow with their needs and be managed remotely without additional dependencies.

Solution

Matrix implemented a comprehensive cloud-based access control system to address the client's challenges by offering the following solutions:

• Advanced Access Control
  • Matrix installed sophisticated door controllers and readers to ensure only authorised personnel could access the premises. By utilising COSEC ARC DC200P controllers and COSEC ATOM RD100E readers, the system effectively monitored and controlled access points, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorised entries.
• Multi-Credential Support
  • Matrix's solution accommodates various credential types, including RFID cards, Bluetooth®, and QR codes. Through its COSEC APTA app, Matrix enabled Bluetooth® and QR codes as access credentials for the client. This facilitated easy management of different credentials, providing a seamless experience for users while maintaining high-security standards.
• On-Cloud Deployment
  • The implementation of COSEC VYOM ensured a scalable, cloud-based solution. This allowed the client to manage the system remotely without the need for additional hardware or software integrations, offering flexibility and future-proofing the solution.
