My TechDecisions Podcast, zero trust

In this episode of My TechDecisions Podcast, TD Editor-in-Chief Tom LeBlanc steps in to interview Hank Monaco, VP of Marketing at Johnson Controls, about access control solutions.

Hank discusses the current state of access control solutions – the rapidly evolving technology that determines who is and is not allowed into a given area. Hank focuses specifically on the connected environment that is quickly integrating access control systems. He discusses how that connected environment can be utilized to do more than simply allow people in and out of the building.

Hank goes on to discuss the multiple opportunities for financial return on investment when choosing the right access control system. He pushes the idea of involving more strategic business leaders in the decision making process to get the most out of the system.

Finally, Hank discusses the future of access control technology, whether or not the keycard will be done away with, biometrics, and more.

Listen to this interview if you are at all interested in installing an access control system, and want to learn about how the system can do more for you than you initially thought.
