Modernizing Your Identity Ecosystem with Safetrust

In an era where security is paramount, enterprises must continuously evolve to meet the challenges of modern physical access control systems (PACS). Once thought reliable, outdated systems are now proving costly, inflexible, and vulnerable to emerging threats. Safetrust offers a comprehensive solution that addresses these issues head-on, delivering a platform that modernizes your security ecosystem and drives significant long-term value.

For those unfamiliar with Safetrust’s approach to transforming identity management, we provide valuable insights into how enterprises can transition from outdated, legacy systems to an agile, forward-thinking platform.

Moving Beyond Yesterday’s Technology

Many enterprise security professionals encounter significant hurdles with their current PACS. Often tied to technologies that have not evolved in over a decade, these systems are locked into a closed ecosystem of proprietary hardware and software. Such reliance creates multiple pain points:

• Costly Upgrades: System-wide technology changes often necessitate expensive forklift upgrades, requiring a complete overhaul of both hardware and software.
• Limited Flexibility: Closed ecosystems restrict access to competitive supply chains, reducing sourcing options and locking organizations into singular vendor solutions.
• Outdated Technology: These legacy systems, built for older use cases, become outdated and are often vulnerable to modern security risks, presenting a liability rather than an asset.
• High Maintenance Costs: Systems that cannot be remotely managed incur additional costs, particularly when updates, patches, or repairs are needed.

Safetrust helps organizations move beyond these challenges by providing a platform designed to meet the needs of today's security landscape.
