The advancement of physical access control technology continues to evolve as new threats emerge, vulnerabilities are identified, security protocols are updated, and requirements for integration increase.

The introduction of Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) ten years ago shifted the world of access control capabilities, and yet end users aren't fully aware of what it is or its advantages. 

In this eBook, HID Global explores the vulnerability of legacy protocols such as Wiegand, and the benefits and practical improvements of utilising OSDP over other protocols.

What's inside?

• What limitations and vulnerabilities are perpetuated by old protocols
• How OSDP creates greater security and operational efficiency
• Advantages and benefits established with OSDP
• Methodologies to move toward OSDP
