Many people may need to enter areas but most do not need to access all areas at all times. This makes properly configuring levels and schedules a key element in minimizing risks and insider threats.

In this report, we explain:

  • The 'Who, When, Where, and Why' Behind Access
  • Why Using Defaults Are Not Secure
  • The Three Main Benefits of Levels & Schedules
  • Examples In Use

Inside, we describe why these aspects are important to every access control system.
