Avoid attacks on secure objects using access control
“Prevention is better than cure”. There is no doubt in this statement. Today, attacks on civil, industrial and institutional objects are the heading news of everyday. Some time the news is secure data has stolen. Some time the news is secure material has stolen. Some time the news is secure resources has stolen. What is the solution after it happens? You can register FIR in the police station. Police try to find out the people, who have stolen. It takes a long time. In between that the misuse of data or resources has been done. And a big loss came on your way. Sometime police can catch the fraudulent people. Some time they got failure.
Have you think about the prevention any time? It is always better to prevent the attacks and ultimately prevent the loss. It is always better to spend some money on the security. Once you suffered by the attacks, then you have to spend a lot of money and at that time nothing in your hand. There is no any promise of return. Still, you have to do it. So, now you can understand the importance of security.
There are so many ways of security. Right now, I want to discuss the control on access. You can prevent the access of secure resources from unauthorized people. There are so many technologies present to help you. You can control your door entry using Access Control system. Only authorized people can enter into the door. The system prevents the unauthorized people to enter.
As I have told earlier, so many technologies available like Biometric Access Control, Face Recognition system, finger print reader, voice recognition system etc. As the name suggests, different system take different criteria to categorize the people, authorized or unauthorized. Biometric access control system takes biometric criteria, means your physical body. Face recognition system scan your face and decides. Finger print reader reads your finger print and takes decision. Voice recognition system requires speaking a special word and from that takes decision.
The use of access control system is very simple. Once you have installed it requires just small effort. You have to update the database. The persons you want to categorize as authorized persons, needs to enter his/her detail. For example, face recognition system scan the face, finger print reader scans your figure etc. Then system saves the data of that person in the database. When someone tries to enter, system scans the criteria and matches it with stored in database. If it is match then system opens its door. When unauthorized person tries to enter some system ring alarms, some system denies the entry.
Now I will come on the main point. Some people ask, why I should spend money on these systems? I have discussed this earlier in the article. But now I want to discuss other point. These systems cost you once. Once you have installed it then it requires only maintenance of database. Any time you can add new persons and remove exist persons. So, it only cost one time and security forever. According to me it’s a really nice science invention.
The other question people ask frequently is, this can be done by manual, why should I buy computerized system? The answer is system is more trusted then man. The system is more accurate than man. A man can make mistakes, system can’t. There are some cases in the world where the security man also included in the fraud. It is sure that computer system is more trusted. Other fact is, you can cheat the man but you can’t cheat the computer system.
After all these discussion, I am sure that you now 100% convince that we should use Access Control systems to secure our resources. Again I want to say that prevent the situation before it happens. Don’t be lazy and take some security actions. Again I am sure that once it will happen, no one can really help you. They can try but no guarantee. So, spend some money, take some prior security actions and make your life simple and happy.
