Steve Wintle, Head of CNI at Abloy UK, discusses integrating smart technology and enhancing physical security for critical national infrastructure.
Integrating next-generation smart technology into critical national infrastructure - such as gas, power and heat networks – offers new opportunities for effectively managing the way we live, work and grow, whilst remaining safe and secure.
Employee access rights
An integrated automated system can also be linked to a database of employee work permits. When the employee attempts to use their key to open the lock to a work site or dangerous piece of equipment, it can check to see if they have the necessary permissions in place, including competencies to carry out the work.
Similarly, it can be used to control access to restricted areas using variable validation, forcing regular checks of the employee’s or contractor’s current competencies for the assigned task or clearance level. Smart integrated physical security also has great potential to help all areas of infrastructure become more operationally efficient and streamlined.
The technology needed to achieve this is already out there, such as PROTEC2 CLIQ® technology, proving its reliability and effectiveness every day. The possibilities it offers right now are huge, but so can be the risks – so it’s crucial that as the integration of systems increases, the protection of those systems and the data contained is vital.
