Access control mobilization and convergence trends are beginning to emerge

From the development performance of the access control system last year and relevant statistical data, it is estimated that the market size of the access control market will remain at 35% or more. In 2012, the market size of domestic access control system products will reach 5.8 billion yuan. What kind of trend is maintained in the development of the access control industry today?

The access control market broke the scale of 5.2 billion yuan, and one of the three major pillars of safety and security was in the historical stage of China's rapid economic development and unprecedented level of management. The emergence of a large number of demands for the system has made the development of this industry a huge space. With numerous industries and complex technologies, professional subdivisions and improvement of technical thresholds, the company has gained valuable experience for its employees and opportunities and time for further development. Each company has developed along with its specialized direction and depth. On the road to rational development, access control companies focus on the research and development of industry solutions, and the market demand continues to rise.

The "2012-2016 Access Control System Project Business Plan" data shows that in 2011, the size of the domestic access control card market and related supporting industrial chain soared to about 16 billion yuan. The sales of access control products have also increased substantially in all walks of life. In 2011, according to the performance of domestic mainstream access control manufacturers, the average operating income of various manufacturers increased by more than 45% to 50%. Meanwhile, the proportion of second-tier branded second-line access control brands to domestic sales has increased rapidly, and the sales scale of some second-tier brand companies has broken the historical high . With the continuous expansion of government investment in large-scale infrastructure projects and the rapid development of the industry market, the forecast for the market size of domestic access control system products in 2012 reached 5.8 billion yuan, an annual increase of approximately 35%. In addition, the 2012 access control card and The scale of the related supporting engineering industry chain will further create a new historical high.

Judging from the market demand, the huge market of 675 judicial prisons, 3200 detention centers and 350 labor camps throughout the country has become the focus of first-tier brands; rail transit, petrochemical and other industries have strong demand for access control cards; campus security At the peak of construction, mobile, telecommunications, and Unicom's investment-based mobile phone access control card market will be promoted; With the increasing popularity of campus cards, corporate cards, and citizen cards, the demand for access control will maintain an average growth rate of around 30% to 35% per year.

According to the current report on the performance of 11 domestic listed security companies, plus the impact of domestic residential property purchase policies in the past three years, investment-oriented business intelligence buildings will continue to be hot spots. On the other hand, the growth in market demand for factories, mines and banks under the impetus of the security monitoring and high-definition market has increased. At the same time, it has promoted the access control industry to become the “three pillars” of security systems that stand in line with anti-theft alarm systems and video surveillance systems.

The status quo of the development of the access control industry is overwhelming. The access control system is an important part of the security system. As it relates to identity and privacy and confidentiality of consumer management, the security and stability of the system are always placed first. A demand is stable and reliable.

Networking is optimistic: With the development of network technology, its influence on other industries has exceeded imagination. As the current mainstream development trend, networkization continues to receive great attention from industry professionals. The network enables the access control system to reach unlimited in terms of the number of networks and the scope of the network, and it can realize remote network control and data transmission.

Seeking added value: Due to the diversity of user application requirements and the continuous improvement of security requirements, the access control market and technology development also show a trend of diversification and integration. Companies also want to increase the added value of the access control system through integration. Therefore, the integration trend of access control systems and other security subsystems has become unstoppable. More common integration of video surveillance, anti-theft alarm, fire alarm, elevator control and so on.

Trends in mobility and convergence The portable authentication credential card will make it easier for users to obtain, provide, share, and modify personal electronic keys stored in electronic wallets. With access control information and records stored in NFC-enabled mobile phones, rather than in door locks, users are more likely to secure locations and goods. The system can remotely cancel the virtual credential card stored in the smart phone, and reissue the credential, as well as change the personnel and time that can use the virtual credential card.

Now, more and more users are looking for an "unconstrained" security experience, and solutions that are interoperable, flexible, and the use of credential cards for open standards in mobile devices will become the new darling of users. All the identity information that a user needs to open an office door or log on to a corporate computer is securely embedded in the phone instead of being stored on a plastic card that may be copied or stolen, and the user does not need to remember the password.

To comply with this trend, the NFC-enabled mobile phone will have a virtual credential card embedded in it. The identity information management will be transferred to the cloud. Users will be able to freely log in to Software as a Service (Software as a Service) and internal enterprise applications through Bring Your Ouwn Device and use self-service. Prepared NFC mobile phones for access control applications. At the same time, the mobile access control solution supports open standards, provides interoperable products, and access control infrastructure that effectively responds to future changes, thereby ensuring that companies can still use today's technology investments, reduce investment costs, and improve the convenience of access control systems. And management efficiency.

On the other hand, access control systems will continue to converge at the level of cards and mobile devices that support NFC. Increasingly, users want not to use One-time Password Tokens or Key Cards. Instead, a single credential card can open doors, log on to the network, access applications and other systems, and securely access the network remotely. Using a single credential card is more convenient, and it can perform strong authentication across key systems and applications throughout the IT infrastructure, thus greatly improving security. This approach enables companies to leverage existing voucher investment, increase desktop computer network logins, and establish a fully interoperable and multi-layered security solution in enterprise networks, systems, and facilities, reducing deployment and operating expenses. Convergence solutions also help companies meet regulatory requirements, enforce consistent policies, achieve consistent audit records within the company, and reduce costs through consolidation tasks.

Mobile access control solutions are the ideal convergence platform. With the adoption of NFC, users will be more interested in extending the application of contactless card technology beyond building access control and further applying it to the authentication of IT. The access control security team and the information security team will begin to work more closely together. The mobile application will generate a one-time dynamic password or receive this password via SMS. Various other types of access keys and virtual credentials will be sent from the air to the handset through a convenient cloud-based configuration mode. This configuration mode eliminates credentials. The card is at risk of being copied and can issue temporary credential cards, cancel lost or stolen credential cards, and monitor and modify security parameters as needed.

This trend also helps to improve the economics of biometric models. It turns smartphones into portable databases that store templates, simplifies system startup, supports an unlimited number of users across multiple locations, and eliminates the need for template management. Redundant cabling requirements. However, this trend will also result in the need for adequate cloud security data so that smartphones can be used to log in to networks and applications. As for the migration of data to the cloud, the most effective method may be federated identity management. In this way, users can access multiple applications by accepting authentication at a central portal.
