What is Access Control and Security Technology?

Access control and ID security technology manage entry to physical spaces or digital resources. It uses methods like keycards, biometrics, PINs, and sensors to authenticate individuals and grant authorized access. These systems enhance security, providing detailed logs for monitoring access attempts and ensuring accountability.
