Despite the enhanced security that comes from newer options, many organizations are still using credential technology that is outdated and vulnerable.
One vulnerability is cloning or copying 125 kHz Proximity credentials and legacy smart cards – an issue that affects first-generation smart cards and all proximity cards from any vendor.
Convergint paired with HID Global can help companies with vulnerabilities move from antiquated technology to newer solutions. Microprocessor-based credential technologies is one of them.
Microprocessor-Based Credential Technology
There are many benefits to the newer microprocessor-based credential technologies. Unlike legacy credential technologies that are hardwired into a card or fob, microprocessor-based technologies can execute on both traditional form factors or any microprocessor device (smart cards, mobile devices, etc.), expanding functionality and choice.
They also provide a more secure approach to managing multiple applications on a credential, including the ability to support both physical and network access side-by-side.
