ISC West Virtual Session Highlights Promise of OSDP to Replace Wiegand
Systems that still use the Wiegand protocol are performing below accepted industry standards and are vulnerable to over-the-counter exploits. A session at ISC West’s Virtual Event highlighted a replacement technology that solves those problems and expands the security, flexibility and functionality of systems. Read more …
The Promise of OSDP: New Implementation and Retrofits
The security and efficiency of many access control systems is sub-par and vulnerable to exploits, but adoption of SIA’s #OSDP standard brings enhanced security, flexibility & choices in an access control partner. This ISC West recorded session looks at how OSDP solves legacy vulnerability, and delivers increased security, functionality and interoperability, and reviews implementation and retrofits with Jeremy Fromm of Mercury Security and Tony Diodato of Cypress.
Hacked in 60 Seconds: How Legacy Wiegand Exposes Modern Access Control
Why use the most advanced readers and credentials in an access control system only to introduce a vulnerability at the connection?
In this ISC West recorded session, see how easily the Wiegand connection can be hacked and learn how SIA’s OSDP standard secures the connection in this session featuring ethical hacker Babak Javadi and format/protocol expert Tony Diodato, co-chair of the SIA OSDP Working Group.
