Physical Access Month has come to an end here at FindBiometrics. April’s featured theme was a big one – a five week examination of biometric physical access control. All month we brought you news, featured articles and exhibition coverage dealing with physical access control, all of which culminated in an exclusive webinar event.
Here is a look back on all the things that had us talking about physical access in April.
Balancing Convenience and Security
April’s main event was “Balancing Security and Convenience in Biometric Access Control” – an exclusive webinar panel with guest experts Gary Jones, Director of Biometric Access and Time Solutions Business Unit – MorphoTrak (Safran), and Mark Clifton, President of the Products and Solutions Division – SRI International.
If you were unable to attend the dynamic biometric physical access discussion, the recording can be found below.
