INTEGRATED PHYSICAL AND LOGICAL SECURITY MANAGEMENT VIA A PORTABLE DEVICE
Integrated physical and logical security management is extended to a mobile device, such as a portable wireless device or radio The Mobile-IMPACT solution extends the reach of authonzed users to hand-held devices for momtoπng, managing and/or controlling of IT/network and physical security Allowing authorized users to view and control access events while not in their office and logged into their console, mobility within and outside of a facility or campus organization no longer requires a laptop computer With new handheld technologies more widely accessiable and dropping in mice while still gaining additional functionality, a chief security officer and their security staff can now monitor access to their building/doors/control zones, look-up user and card information, trigger queries/reports, set new alarm conditions and monitor sensors or a perimeter from a handheld device anywhere in the world using an electronic communication medium.
