If you’re a business owner, you may be familiar with access-controlled
security. When you want to be able to develop a more precise way of
getting people in and out of your business, this is the way to go. With
access control you can keep an eye on your business from wherever you
are. You don’t have to have two sets of eyes to keep an eye on your
business. You can look at what is happening at your business. You have
likely noticed controlled access at public places like schools,
government buildings, hospitals and universities. This allows only
specific people to gain access into certain areas of the building. This
is extremely important especially if you work in law-enforcement. When
there is a high amount of foot traffic, it might be a good idea to
have access control installed. If you have a lot of sensitive documents
or dangerous chemicals, you should make sure that you have an easy and
efficient way of getting everyone inside your building, out safely. Access control enables you to do this.
If you do not want to be liable for loss of life or injury of anyone
on your property, it is worth looking into getting access control. It
is certainly worth the investment. This is one system that a burglar
would find extremely difficult to master. That is why many of them
avoid having to do so. When you have access controlled locks, they are
as efficient as having deadbolt locks. Determine how you’ll protect
your employees, customers and business before something tragic occurs.
In Peachtree City, the locksmiths of Trusted Locksmith Peachtree City
can help you get the help that you need. They have installed thousands
of controlled access security. They know how to install every type of
access-controlled system. Finding the right one for you is important to
us. This is why we work with every customer to ensure they have
exactly what they want and need. You should definitely learn as much as
you can before making your purchase. Your system is sure to be far more
useful to you if you do.
With an access controlled system you can get everyone in and out of
your building effectively and efficiently. When you do not have to
fumble around looking for a key, it is sure to speed up the amount of
time it takes to get in and out. Even if your access control doesn’t
enable you to enter a code, you have a fob key that will enable you to
do this, no standard key required. There are yet other systems that
identify physical characteristics that have been programmed to identify
specific individuals. Once recognized by the system, you are able to
gain access.
If you have been considering having access controlled-systems
installed in your business, you’re sure to receive peace-of-mind.
You’ll get the convenience that you may have only dreamt of. If you’re
on the fence about whether or not this is a good fit for you, perhaps
some of the following feature will convince you one way or the other.
A SMOKE DETECTOR that sends you a text alert when your house is on fire seems like a good idea. An internet-connected door lock with a PIN that can be programmed from your smartphone sounds convenient, too. But when a piece of malware can trigger that fire alarm at four in the morning or unlock your front door for a stranger, your “smart home” suddenly seems pretty dumb.
The security research community has been loudly warning for years that the so-called Internet of Things—and particularly networked home appliances—would introduce a deluge of new hackable vulnerabilities into everyday objects. Now one group of researchers at the University of Michigan and Microsoft have published what they call the first in-depth security analysis of one such “smart home” platform that allows anyone to control their home appliances from light bulbs to locks with a PC or smartphone. They discovered they could pull off disturbing tricks over the internet, from triggering a smoke detector at will to planting a “backdoor” PIN code in a digital lock that offers silent access to your home, all of which they plan to present at the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy later this month.
“If these apps are controlling non-essential things like window shades, I’d be fine with that. But users need to consider whether they’re giving up control of safety-critical devices,” says Earlence Fernandes, one of the University of Michigan researchers. “The worst case scenario is that an attacker can enter your home at any time he wants, completely nullifying the idea of a lock.”
Unlocking Doors
The Microsoft and Michigan researchers focused their testing on Samsung’s SmartThings platform, a networked home system that’s in hundreds of thousands of homes, judging by Google’s count of downloads of its Android app alone. What they found allowed them to develop four attacks against the SmartThings system, taking advantage of design flaws that include badly controlled limitations of apps’ access to the features of connected devices, and an authentication system that would let a hacker impersonate a legitimate user logged into the SmartThings cloud platform.
In the most severe of their proof-of-concept attacks, the researchers found they could exploit SmartThings’ flawed implementation of a common authentication protocol known as OAuth. The researchers analyzed an Android app designed to control SmartThings services, and found a certain code—meant to be secret—that let them take advantage of a flaw in the SmartThings web server known as an “open redirect.” (The researchers declined to name that Android app to avoid helping real hackers replicate the attack.)
The researchers exploit that inconspicuous bug to pull off an intrusion worse than merely picking a lock: it plants a backdoor in your front door. First they trick a smart-home-owning victim into clicking on a link, perhaps with a phishing email purporting to come from SmartThings support. That carefully crafted URL would take the victim to the actual SmartThings HTTPS website, where the person logs in with no apparent sign of foul play. But due to the hidden redirect in the URL, the victim’s login tokens are sent to the attacker (in this case the researchers), allowing them to log into the cloud-based controls for the door lock app and add a new four digit PIN to the lock unbeknownst to the home owner, as shown in this video, sabotaging a Schlage electronic lock:
That malicious link could even be broadcast widely to SmartThings victims to plant secret backdoor codes in the locks of any SmartThings owner who clicked it, says Atul Prakash, a University of Michigan computer science professor who worked on the study. “It’s definitely possible to do an attack on a large number of users just by getting them to click on these links on a help forum or in emails,” says Prakash. “Once you have that, whoever clicks and signs on, we’ll have the credentials required to control their smart app.”
Security cameras are great, but only when they're actually pointed at whatever is going on. With Alarm.com's forthcoming smart security system, however, unexpected events will always be in focus, thanks to a veritable swarm of drone investigators.
Alarm has developed a machine learning algorithm, called the Insights Engine, that continually monitors sensors placed around your property to learn how things are normally run and to quickly identify unexpected events -- say, a break-in or a water leak -- when they occur. If the system spots something out of the ordinary, it will deploy a swarm of autonomous UAVs built on Qualcomm's Snapdragon Flight drone platform to investigate. These little fliers will swarm over the event site and provide live video feeds to your phone. You can also opt in to share that video data with either Alarm.com's central monitoring facility or directly with emergency responders. Finally we can stop relying on Lassie to alert us every dang time Timmy falls down a well.
