To many security dealers and integrators, cloud-based access control is something that utilizes a cloud-first or cloud-only approach. Typically, it is used for hosted or managed access control, and is primarily aimed at smaller-sized end users that don’t have their own security or IT departments. Right? Not so fast.
There are commonalities when it comes to defining what access control in the cloud is — and what it isn’t. For example, Jeff Perri, president and COO, Prodatakey, South Jordan, Utah, defines it as a seamless environment for the user.
