2020 is a strange year. There are a lot of ways to describe it. For one, is a year of paradoxes: everything about this year is so different, but somehow, it’s still strangely similar to others. We still have to eat, sleep, pay our bills and rent, ad infinitum. Each day starts to get familiar, less tedious, more like the status quo. We find ways to talk to our friends and family, see familiar faces, and so on. For another, 2020 is a year of memorable surprises. When you look back at this year, what are the things that come to mind? You might be surprised by the number of things that have happened over the past few months. When 2020 passes, as do all years, there will be much to look back on. What will you remember about this tumultuous year?
Perhaps the one thing that everyone will think about, the one thing that everyone will remember and talk about for years to come, is the Covid-19 pandemic that took the world unaware in the beginning months of 2020. And because of this, we’ve had to make drastic changes to our lives. It’s a brave new world out there. And for businesses, it’s no different. As a business owner, you have to implement ways to safeguard the health and safety of both the employees and clients. And that’s why ASIS Technologies and other security companies have a much more noble job at hand now. Access control systems and other security systems like Desfire are at the forefront of keeping your employees and clients secure.
Think about it: your access control systems are a huge deciding factor in which people gain access to your place of work. If this is absent, then anyone will be able to get into sensitive or restricted areas-- including, for example, people who may be sick with a contagious illness. It is important to note that security isn’t just for helping ward off attacks: preventing entry for unauthorised personnel can greatly restrict chances of spread! Security systems are now very high-tech: some may include cloud computing capabilities, others may even use face recognition technology, yet others may use remote access.
In today’s world, one must be careful about which people should be allowed in the workplace. You do not want to create more risks by letting people unnecessarily mingle. That’s why access control systems are powerful deterrents for contagious diseases spreading. But more often than not, they are not enough. What good would face recognition technology be, for example, if the person who has access may be sick? That’s why ASIS Technologies offers a temperature screening system for that one-two punch against contagious illnesses. To secure a workplace, one must take more measures now to boost security in the workplace, and that includes shutting out or restricting access to people who exhibit symptoms.
Access security systems nowadays have taken on more functions that it used to, and play a bigger part than many realize. It’s high time everyone pays more attention to their security. It truly is a brave new world out there, and we’re still a long way from adapting to it.
