OnRising chose DataRoad to install two biometric access control systems in two rooms and to set up a dedicated firewall to protect its internal computer network.
Installation Services Performed
The project combined physical security and network security into a single initiative:
- Verification and correction of existing network points;
- Installation of network-connected biometric door-opening devices in two rooms;
- Installation and configuration of access control software, including event logging;
- Installation of a firewall, including the creation of networks and virtual networks (VLANs);
- Ongoing maintenance and management of the firewall, including configuration and training of the team on the implemented solution.
Why does combining access control and a firewall enhance security?
An organization’s security has two aspects that must work together: physical access to premises and access to the computer network. A biometric system controls who physically enters a room, with individual logs of each access; the firewall, combined with VLAN segmentation, controls and isolates traffic within the network, limiting the impact of any compromised device. By implementing both solutions together, OnRising now has simultaneous control over who accesses its facilities and how traffic flows within its internal network—significantly reducing the organization’s attack surface.
