Controlling access to your facility is a fundamental aspect of ensuring security. Historically, castles used moats and drawbridges to regulate entry and protect those within their walls. This same principle applies to modern environments like schools and hospitals, where a select group of staff bears a critical duty of care for the individuals under their supervision. For these environments, controlling access to the facility and safeguarding the people within is paramount.
Modern access control and visitor management systems provide robust capabilities and unmatched flexibility to create secure environments. However, ineffective deployment or a lack of operational understanding can significantly diminish their effectiveness. Recognizing and addressing these challenges is key to leveraging the full potential of these systems.
Join two long-standing experts in the field, Drew Neckar from the healthcare sector and Guy Bliesner from the education sector, as they explore the systems and strategies necessary to enhance security across school and hospital environments. This presentation will analyze common pitfalls, highlight best practices in access control and visitor management, and provide actionable solutions for creating secure facilities in these critical sectors.
Key Topics Covered:
- Common Ground in Security Needs: Explore the overlapping access control requirements of K-12 schools and hospital campuses, and learn how both sectors can benefit from shared insights and strategies.
- Operational Impacts on Security: Understand how day-to-day operations influence the efficiency of access control and visitor management systems, and learn strategies to ensure maximum effectiveness.
- Avoiding Common Mistakes: Discover the frequent missteps that hinder the success of access control and visitor management systems and how to rectify or avoid them altogether.
