1.1 Access Control Overview
An access control system protects and preserves an enterprise’s resources
by providing authentication, authorization, and administration services.
Authentication is a process that verifies a user’s identity. If the user is
verified, the system then either grants or denies access to specific areas
and resources. Administration includes the creation and modification of
user accounts and access privileges.
An access control system consists of hardware and software, usually
configured in a network environment over a standard network protocol.
Access control units, readers, door strikes, and video and other devices, for
example, are configured to control and monitor the access to a company
site.
