City of Madison Enhances Security With Networked Access Control
Assets of the city of Madison, Wisc., are protected by a team of security and technology experts whose responsibility includes everything from assigning rights to software use to protecting taxpayer data to securing buildings and people, and more. When officials were unable to lock down a building during an emergency due to technical issues and the company who installed it said they could not provide on-site support for two days, Ken Ferguson, information specialist 3 and system administrator for the city of Madison, knew he needed to replace the system.
“My job is to protect all of the assets of city of Madison,” Ferguson said. “I assure access to buildings and secure people. Our inability to provide mission critical lockdown support told me we needed to get a better system in place quickly.”
