HID Evangelist Argues Plastic Credentials Are 'Least Secure' Part Of Access Systems - Agree?

IPVMU Certified

HID Evangelist Phil Coppola continues his campaign to reduce the use of credential cards on the heels of HID Evangelist Calls For "Ditching Plastic Credentials" earlier this month.

This time, he says "#SecurityProfessionals, when I say layered security means ditching plastic credentials, what I'm really saying is a PLASTIC CARD is the LEAST secure aspect of your #AccessControl System."
