What is an access control system?
An access control system is a type of security that is used to manage and control who and what is allowed access to a system, environment, or facility. Access Control Systems (ACS) works by identifying entities that have control over a device or facility using their credentials. The credentials are scrutinised in the process of verifying their validity. Such credentials include an ID number, passwords, user names, and email addresses. AC systems are installed in high-security areas like data centres, government institutions, business facilities, and others of their kind. They help to manage access to protected equipment and virtual resources.
