Visitor I.D.'s that your employees can really see

Placeholder How do security managers make decisions? What influences their evaluation process to recommend a certain activity, create a policy, or implement a security product? The safety of employees is a major care-about. The ability to protect other facility assets (trade secrets, computers, servers, etc.) definitely weighs on their minds. Privacy and confidentiality are hot-button topics that cause security managers to think critically. However, one of the biggest influences on security ...
