The new, “smart” normal brings with it new safety measures, automated processes and a continued focus on efficiency as organizations strive to do less with more—but enhanced workplace safety may require enhanced security as well. Integrating sensors with your network in addition to devices like access control systems can come with numerous security challenges. How can you be sure that your new, “smart” devices or areas are secure?

As organizations begin re-opening, customer and employee safety is more important than ever. IoT technology like thermal imaging, contact tracing, access control and social distance monitoring can help protect anyone sharing a physical space. By using sensors to monitor critical information about anyone entering a building, like body temperature or physical distance, these solutions can help mitigate risk in a non-invasive way. Many of these systems send automated alerts to a targeted set of users, eliminating the need for manual screenings and reducing the number of dangerous bottlenecks at building entrances and exits.
