We just did some red team testing at one of our locations and this came up. Impeccable timing once again boys, cheers.

Has anyone recommended/used RFID Blocking Badge Holders that are designed to block low frequency 125kHz? This question is related to "digital pickpocketing" We all know you cannot block it 100% unless wrapped in foil or a lead box but by using RFID Blocking Holders you can reduce the ability to be compromised.
What are you doing to mitigate the risk while doing the obvious by getting rid of the vulnerability all together? When you have 250K Cardholders and over 10K Access Points replacing the vulnerability is not an easy task.

Last year we replaced our entire compliment of 10K prox cards with dual-format HID cards, then implemented a project to begin replacing readers the old prox readers with iClass units at +50 sites beginning with the perimeter, then main access points and critical doors. Also issued a directive to our security vendor that all new and replacement readers are to be iClass. Process is working pretty well; card replacement took 6mths and allowed us to updated all cardholder info (photos, security questions, PIN's etc). By having the cards compatible with both format readers, no disruptions to the end users. Side-note: if you include a PIN requirement with 125khz cards, doesn't matter if people have a clone (as long as people don't keep the PIN with the card).

Where did you get that particular writer? I want one to bring around with me to demo how easy it is. I could probably sell a lot of readers and cards once they see it.

People will always complain, but make the application reasonable, explain the whys and stick to a standard (don't make exceptions for specific sites).
The requirements has always been in place as part of our layering strategy, specifically at exterior doors outside of core business hours. This way you minimize the number of access points where they'd encounter delays (only 3sec per user/transaction) and only about 25% of staff are affected by the requirement.
Biggest challenge was sites deviated from the standard over the years, and people forgot their PIN's. Enter the new ID roll-out where we required people to pick a new PIN and made it part of the enrollment process (like when signing up for a credit card).
This also provided us an awareness opportunity to explain why PIN's are required.
20% of people will complain no matter what, 20% will tow the line no matter what, it's the middle 60% you need to try and win over and the only way to do that is with a good awareness and comm strategy.
