After all, for many today, the Internet literally feeds, clothes, and educates. The Internet penetrates our homes, residing in kettles, vacuum cleaners, and refrigerators. IoT, or the Internet of Things, refers to any equipment and household appliances that have tiny electronic modules built into them for exchanging data over the Internet through our home WiFi. <\/p>\n<p>Even door locks are increasingly being made with smartphone control by many manufacturers. The cue is for access control systems and building management systems. Here, I want to discuss the known pros and cons of cloud-based access control systems, as I work in a team that develops one such system. <\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s discuss this regardless of the type of the object, whether it is a residence, industrial enterprise, warehouse, shopping mall, business center, or educational institution.<\/p>\n<h2>I will list the obvious pros and cons of cloud-based access control systems.<\/h2>\n<p>\n<noindex><a rel=\"nofollow\" name=\"habracut\"><\/a><\/noindex><\/p>\n<h3>PRO<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Access requests are processed online, without the need to fill out paperwork or gather approval signatures.<\/li>\n<li>The access permit can be edited by both the manager and the recipient, as well as security services, with online notifications sent to the permit holder via their preferred messenger, SMS, or email regarding any changes made.<\/li>\n<li>Convenient access to access control system data for administrative leaders, heads of security, and HR departments, especially in enterprises with a branch network, at any time, from any PC with a web browser or on a mobile device. Vacation, business trips, sick leave \u2014 these are not barriers to staying informed about current affairs and checking statistics.<\/li>\n<li> Implementation at the site without complex design. Since the topology of web services allows for easy changes to technical processes and logic, any potential errors in the initial scheme can be easily corrected during the operational phase, allowing the selection of an optimal structure for checkpoints and refining the object\u2019s regime.<\/li>\n<li>No special qualifications or training are required for configuration, let alone for management. Modern programming tools are so focused on creating intuitive software products that the resulting cloud services are bound to be easy to manage and user-friendly.<\/li>\n<li>The low cost of equipment is due to its practical absence. High-performance micro-PCs like Arduino, Raspberry, and Orange replace specialized controllers. All logic shifts to the server side and the RAM of mobile devices and smartphones. Smartphones replace familiar RFID cards and key fobs, leading to savings on consumables. The small IoT element exerts the unlocking effect on locks and turnstiles. It's affordable due to its simplicity and mass production.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Cloud access control systems \u2014 PROS and CONS firsthand\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/26d55fe9aae2bab63f2086840f810147.jpg\" style=\"display:block;margin: 0 auto;\" \/><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<i>Example structure of an access control system (ACS) as a cloud service<\/i><\/p>\n<p>As you might have guessed, these were arguments in favor of web services for access control systems. I will be honest and openly list all arguments against using ACS as a cloud solution.<\/p>\n<h3>CONTRA<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Storing user data in the cloud. Risks of information loss due to technical reasons or leaks to third parties. These risks can be mitigated by distributing microservices across a larger number of data centers (DC) and choosing reliable service providers with a TIER 3 or higher classification.<\/li>\n<li>Lack of smartphones among some users. Reluctance to use personal smartphones for work purposes. To address this issue, the management has the option to print QR passes on a receipt printer, which is more cost-effective than issuing a fob or card.<\/li>\n<li>Presence of an ACS at the site that was installed years ago but is still functioning, albeit outdated. In this case, there is an option to use the built-in API (application program interface) of web services for integration and expand functionality as desired, especially since integrations for most well-known access control systems are usually already developed.<\/li>\n<li>The traditional reluctance of hired employees to abandon familiar systems and technologies, regardless of the more effective and economically beneficial technological alternatives. Middle management sabotage during the approval stages often forces leadership and owners to give up and abandon modernization.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nBut the classic counterargument I still hear is the classic \"\u2026 but what if the internet goes down...\". Here, I am speechless, and an old joke comes to mind: <\/p>\n<p><i>\"I am the most important,\" declared El boldly. \"Email, everyone reads me! No, I am more important,\" Internet quietly rebutted, \"you live in me.\" Electricity quietly sighed and turned away.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>So, I invite you to debate the pros and cons of the Internet in security systems, specifically access control systems. Please feel free to comment on anything you disagree with; I would be happy to hear criticism, respond, or honestly agree. If you're shy about speaking out publicly, please send me a private message.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Thank you<br \/>\nIlya<br \/>\n<br \/>Source: <a content=\"nofollow\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/habr.com\/ru\/post\/509698\/\">habr.com<\/a> <\/p>","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u041f\u0430\u043d\u0434\u0435\u043c\u0438\u044f \u0436\u0451\u0441\u0442\u043a\u043e \u0437\u0430\u0441\u0442\u0430\u0432\u0438\u043b\u0430 \u043a\u0430\u0436\u0434\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0438\u0437 \u043d\u0430\u0441, \u0431\u0435\u0437 \u0438\u0441\u043a\u043b\u044e\u0447\u0435\u043d\u0438\u044f, \u0435\u0441\u043b\u0438 \u043d\u0435 \u0432\u043e\u0441\u043f\u043e\u043b\u044c\u0437\u043e\u0432\u0430\u0442\u044c\u0441\u044f, \u0442\u043e \u043f\u0440\u0438\u0437\u043d\u0430\u0442\u044c \u0434\u043e \u0441\u0438\u0445 \u043f\u043e\u0440 \u043f\u0440\u0435\u0438\u043c\u0443\u0449\u0435\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0435\u043d\u043d\u043e \u0438\u043d\u0444\u043e\u0440\u043c\u0430\u0446\u0438\u043e\u043d\u043d\u0443\u044e \u0441\u0440\u0435\u0434\u0443 \u0438\u043d\u0442\u0435\u0440\u043d\u0435\u0442 \u0435\u0449\u0451 \u0438 \u0441\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0435\u043c\u043e\u0439 \u0436\u0438\u0437\u043d\u0435\u043e\u0431\u0435\u0441\u043f\u0435\u0447\u0435\u043d\u0438\u044f. \u0412\u0435\u0434\u044c \u043c\u043d\u043e\u0433\u0438\u0445 \u0441\u0435\u0433\u043e\u0434\u043d\u044f \u0438\u043d\u0442\u0435\u0440\u043d\u0435\u0442 \u0431\u0443\u043a\u0432\u0430\u043b\u044c\u043d\u043e \u043a\u043e\u0440\u043c\u0438\u0442, \u043e\u0434\u0435\u0432\u0430\u0435\u0442 \u0438 \u043e\u0431\u0443\u0447\u0430\u0435\u0442. \u0418\u043d\u0442\u0435\u0440\u043d\u0435\u0442 \u043f\u0440\u043e\u043d\u0438\u043a\u0430\u0435\u0442 \u0432 \u043d\u0430\u0448\u0438 \u0434\u043e\u043c\u0430 \u043f\u043e\u0441\u0435\u043b\u044f\u044f\u0441\u044c \u0432 \u0447\u0430\u0439\u043d\u0438\u043a\u0430\u0445, \u043f\u044b\u043b\u0435\u0441\u043e\u0441\u0430\u0445 \u0438 \u0445\u043e\u043b\u043e\u0434\u0438\u043b\u044c\u043d\u0438\u043a\u0430\u0445.
