Securex 2024 News & Events, Access Control & Identity Management

[Sponsored] Secutel Technologies’ NoKey Access Control solution won the Outstanding New Security Product category at the 2024 OSPAs in South Africa. This recognition is a testament to our commitment to innovation and excellence in addressing the challenges posed by the ever-evolving crime landscape. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our clients for their continued trust and support, and to the OSPA judges for this prestigious award. We also congratulate all other nominees and winners in various categories this year.

NoKey from Secutel Technologies was designed to meet the growing market demand for secure and convenient access control solutions. Its innovative design and unique features provide significant value by offering a seamless and efficient way to manage access to premises. A key element of NoKey's design is its use of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology, which establishes a secure connection between mobile devices and the NoKey controller. This ensures local presence verification, user identification, access command transmission, and access status communication, making it a robust and reliable solution.

NoKey's distinct features include biometric identification for user authentication, support for multiple access statuses for doors and locks, and real-time visual feedback through the NoKey app. These features enhance security, usability, and visibility, simplifying the task of access managers and administrators who can monitor and manage access control devices remotely.

The impact of NoKey on our clients is profound. It streamlines access control management, improves security measures, and reduces operational costs associated with traditional methods. Clients benefit from enhanced security protocols, real-time access monitoring, and simplified device management through the NoKey.io web management platform.

For users, NoKey offers extensive benefits by eliminating the need for physical access control cards or keys. Users can access specific locations effortlessly using their mobile phones, with biometric authentication adding an extra layer of security. The design also ensures privacy and security through proven cryptographic technologies, with each device creating a public/private key pair stored on hardware-backed security modules, ensuring the private key remains secure.

Overall, NoKey stands out as a cutting-edge access control solution that addresses market demands for security, convenience, and cost-effectiveness. Its innovative design, distinct features, and focus on security make it a standout product in the access control industry, providing a modern and reliable solution for businesses across various sectors.
