Update for the Siedle Secure Controller
More features, more security - we are taking major steps to expand the range of features of our Siedle Secure access control system. A new firmware release has been issued for the Siedle Secure Controller – version 3.14.25. It contains two new features: Multi-client capability makes it possible to customise the access control for your own user unit within a higher-level system, whilst the anti-passback function guarantees that users can only re-enter a sensitive area once they have left it.
Putting access control in their own hands – multi-client capability
Whether it's in business hubs or coworking spaces, in technology parks or industrial estates, in new builds or retrofitted in existing buildings – every client defines their own individual access parameters for their own space. This allows them to manage doors, users, chip cards, access codes and readers independently.
With the new roles concept, the individual clients' administrators can only control their own area. The higher-level access control system is managed elsewhere.
By keeping user data separate, firmware version 3.14.25 of the Siedle Secure Controller ensures that clients cannot view each other's information.
Siedle Secure 3.14.25 provides economic advantages: The costs of purchasing and installing the system as a whole are spread between the clients. This makes facility management more cost-effective.
We issue a paid licence for multi-client capability in Siedle Secure, the licence key for which is generated centrally by our Siedle Engineering department.
Prevent unauthorised access – the anti-passback function
Anti-passback is a security feature that prevents unauthorised access to sensitive areas. It stops users from entering a secure area again using the same means of identification without having properly exited the area first.
Anti-passback also safeguards areas with specific guidelines for the protection of company secrets or assets: data centres, server rooms, laboratories or boardrooms.
In cleanrooms with the corresponding categorisation, for example, anti-passback prevents access cards from being passed on to others without authorisation, whilst at the same time monitoring the specified capacity.
With Siedle Secure, anti-passback is extremely flexible: The functionality of the readers for entering and leaving a space or for functions such as opening doors can be restricted to specific areas and times.
Our Siedle Secure access control system stores up to one million processes and movements of people – in some cases automatically. This means that it is always easy to trace who has been where.
