A Virtual Geospatial Fence On Network Access
GPS has replaced a folded paper map and become the ubiquitous navigation tool, providing real-time information, and including such features as turn-by-turn guidance, ETA, restaurants and fuel stopd along en route. It was a quantum leap in providing geospatial data.
The technology has advanced even further with apps like Google Maps and Waze that reroute your travel around construction zones, heavy traffic and other road hazards by leveraging data from their users and other devices connected to the applications.
Safeguarding IT now requires a multi-layered approach that incorporates security technologies and user training.
Geo-fencing creates a virtual fence on a user’s network access. This limits authentication from a whitelisted location or restricts access from a blacklisted location. The location of a geo-fence can be defined within an office building or a specific IP address, or some other physical parameter.
It is a feature in a software program that uses the global positioning system (GPS) or radio frequency identification (RFID) to define geographical boundaries. Geo-fencing allows an administrator to set up triggers so when a device enters (or exits) the boundaries defined by the administrator, an alert is issued, according to medium.com.
The latest release of ReconaSense’s Risk-Adaptive Security & Access Control delivers proactive, intelligent and geospatial physical security.
The system unifies typically siloed data from security systems, cameras, IoT devices, sensors and building automation systems to provide a common operating picture and risk intelligence. With technology that identifies abnormal activity and adjusts risk levels in real time,
ReconaSense risk-adaptive access control spots threats to life safety and overall security and can minimise risks. Its geospatial AI capabilities enable geo-fencing, risk-aware guidance and remote control.
