other locations that offer public WiFi have become
common remote work environments.
IT departments must contend with new
potential vulnerabilities. For example, an employee
might have an infected computer or IP
security camera at home. While connected to a
public network, someone may download files
from suspicious sources, or the network might
not have the same security measures in place.
As pandemic restrictions have eased, remote
work has declined. Despite this, the top
challenge faced by all respondents when managing
employee and visitor safety remained
cybersecurity. Of all respondents, 49% indicated
that an improved cybersecurity strategy
had been activated by their organization this
year (see Figure 1).
Key Cybersecurity Targets
As Figure 2 indicates, most companies today
are focusing cybersecurity efforts on access
con-trol (40%), cyber-hardening of security
software (39%), and strong password protection
(37%).
It makes sense that cybersecurity of access
integrators have an opportunity to engage
business stakeholders and help mitigate concerns
around cybersecurity and responsible use
of the network.
Remote Working Drives Cloud
The shift to remote and hybrid work has
brought cybersecurity concerns to the forefront.
Remote work reduced corporate control
over the technology infrastructure used by employees
and disrupted tried-and-true firewalls
and intranet access controls.
Increased remote work forced businesses to
rethink how they assess cybersecurity risk. Remote
workers can be located anywhere outside
the organization. In addition to home offices,
public spaces such as libraries, coffee shops, and

control is an increased priority for many companies
today. The technology and hardware
used by legacy access control systems often
don't have the cyber resilience of modern systems
and may have known vulnerabilities.
Even though vulnerabilities are well known,
the cost of replacing access control systems is
often seen as significant - especially for larger
companies.
To alleviate some of that cost, customers can
consider an open-architecture system. It allows
them to transition from a legacy system to a
modern system in phases. They can potentially
use some existing hardware and not replace
