Access Control

Access control refers to the security measures that manage who can enter or access a specific area or system. It involves authentication and authorization processes to ensure that only authorized individuals gain entry. Common methods include keycards, biometric scanners, PIN codes, and mobile access. Access control systems can be physical, like locks and gates, or digital, like software for managing user permissions. They are essential in protecting sensitive information and ensuring safety in various environments, from offices to secure facilities.
