Addressing the multitude of threats to an organization's physical and digital assets has become one of the most important challenges facing governments and enterprises today.

There is enormous pressure on the government, aviation, financial services and the pharmaceutical industries to implement measures that will increase overall security, reduce identity fraud and protect valuable IP (Intellectual Property). Industry is also expected to simultaneously protect customer and patient records, as well as employee and traveler information - all in a highly cost effective and convenient manner.

Secure Physical Access Control

Daon provides a highly secure biometric access control solution designed to protect access to a building’s secure areas or restricted zones. Daon's secure physical access system can integrate with existing physical access systems and provides an enhanced layer of security through the use of biometric technology.

At the heart of the system is DaonEngine, Daon's flexible identity assurance platform. DaonEngine connects seamlessly with common authentication methods, such as PINs, ID badges, contact and contactless smart cards used to access facilities. By combining these methods with biometrics, Daon enables government departments and organizations to increase their security and build on existing identification investments.

Credential Connect provisions users from identity management systems to both physical and logical access control systems enabling the use of new, single use, common credentials across an enterprise using . Credential Connect provides a vendor neutral pipeline of cardholder data between a central Identity Management System (IdM) and both the Physical Access Control System (PACS) and Logical Access Control System (LACS). As a PACS/LACS data connector, Credential Connect is designed to distribute and synchronize new, modified, or revoked credential (badge) information between these systems in a policy-based, rules-controlled manner.
