The CyberLock family of access control products by Videx allows users to track and control access throughout a facility. The audit trail provided by the lock and key helps water utilities meet Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) security guidelines aimed at protecting watersheds and sources of drinking water.
The CyberLock system includes electronic locks and keys that enable water utilities to control and monitor access to entry gates, chemical feed areas, watersheds, water wells, and other water sources. The electronic locks and keys record openings including exceptions such as unauthorised attempts to gain entry. The detailed audit reports of each person's key activity and lock openings demonstrates a water utility's due diligence in securing their physical assets. The system’s email alerts keep management updated so informed decisions can be made when security issues arise.
James Price, Technical Support Professional for the Collier County Water Department, oversees security processes and special projects, implemented CyberLock in order to meet EPA regulations. Price states, “With CyberLock, we can provide substantial proof to the Health Department and EPA that we are diligent in our efforts to secure our facilities and keep the public water supply safe.”
