Access Control Council
Organizations worldwide are implementing new access control systems to improve security and more accurately verify the identity of individuals seeking access to physical facilities, networks, devices and information systems. Council is focused on accelerating the widespread acceptance, use, and application of smart card technology for physical and logical access control. The group brings together, in an open forum, leading users and technologists from both the public and private sectors and works on activities that are important to the access control community and that will help expand smart card technology adoption in this important market.
