SPECIAL FEATURE
IP security
Scalable security
EdgeConnector is a converged physical and logical access management solution that adds location aware access validation to Microsoft Active Directory , delivering compliance and cyber security benefits as well as streamlining physical access control management through an IP network .
Compliance and data security requirements for the restriction of access to sensitive data and applications to within secure areas are supported through EdgeConnector , by enabling a user ’ s security group membership to be dynamically changed based on their location .
Role based security models , administered by existing Active Directory based identity management platforms , are extended to include physical door access privileges with EdgeConnector . This avoids security gaps and user information duplication between
separate physical and logical access control systems to provide security by default .
While hybrid and cloud based operation has been possible with previous versions of EdgeConnector , the latest release now enables the solution to scale seamlessly across multiple domains within a ‘ domain forest ’, covering any number of sites and users . This caters for organisations that have expanded through mergers and acquisitions but kept separate constituent domains within their IT network .
EdgeConnector V3.5.0 is available today as a free upgrade to existing EdgeConnector users , and for all new customers installing an EdgeConnector solution on Active Directory . For further information visit : www . edgeconnector . com
