The role of IT in physical access control

A survey by HID Global found that IT departments are now more involved than ever in an organisation’s physical access control decisions and implementation.

The purpose of the survey was to gain insight into the relationship between an organisation’s Physical Security and IT departments, how the two work together and how investments in new technology are made.

In this paper, HID Global explores these results and how they can be applied in the increasingly collaborative world of today’s organisations.
