The security marketplace has its share of buzzwords, which are words or phrases that become popular and widely used in a specific industry. Buzzwords can be useful for conveying complex ideas quickly, but they can also be misused or misunderstood. Within a specific industry, such as security, buzzwords can create a sense of shared understanding and belonging. We asked this week’s Expert Panel Roundtable: What new buzzword have you heard, and what does it mean for the security industry?

2024 was a year of significant challenges and remarkable progress in a world that is more interconnected than ever. Global collaboration continues to point the way toward continuing progress in multiple industries, including physical security.

Case studies

World Trade Centre (WTC) Amsterdam is home to more than 300 companies. The commitment of its security team to providing a safe working environment in WTC’s fixed and flexible offices goes without saying. However, building managers wanted more from their access solution. More than just an office space, WTC Amsterdam has complementary onsite facilities, including childcare, a gym, physiotherapy clinic, bar/café, dry cleaning service and more. Modern digital solution Modern digital solutions would provide better oversight of movement around the building All its facilities must be cleaned and serviced regularly: they sought a more time-efficient way to manage the many contractors and suppliers who come and go every day. They also hoped a modern digital solution would provide better oversight of movement around the building, including usage data to improve maintenance scheduling. For convenience during installation and day-to-day management, they targeted a wire-free solution – for simpler, less disruptive switching of 1,000 doors from mechanical locks to digital access – and intuitive management, allowing for easy changing of individual access authorizations, even at the last minute. ASSA ABLOY’s smart key digital access system With all these criteria in mind, WTC Amsterdam managers decided on ASSA ABLOY’s smart key digital access system, eCLIQ. They upgraded doors from mechanical to digital access simply by swapping the existing cylinder for an eCLIQ device. Doors are unlocked by battery-powered user smart keys, with a typical battery lifespan of 10 years. “Providing these doors with wired access control would be a huge job and become costly. Instead, we opted for the eCLIQ solution,” explains Sander Borggreve, Facility Manager at WTC Amsterdam. Concrete improvements in operations Scheduling is further simplified by storing keys with a Traka key management system The ROI in terms of workflow benefits has been significant. “Granting temporary controlled access to third parties is very easy with the eCLIQ system. We can set access for a certain period of time, but we can also revoke it at any time,” says Sander. Scheduling is further simplified by storing keys with a Traka key management system. After removing a key from the cabinet, authorised team members enter it into the adjacent eCLIQ Wall Programming Device. In seconds, the key is issued with its fine-grained access rights – covering both door-by-door and time validity. eCLIQ system maintenance and operations With the eCLIQ system, WTC Amsterdam gained not only control but also insights into usage and user flows. This data now informs maintenance and operations, reducing the overall Total Cost of Ownership for the solution. “eCLIQ works very pleasantly in practice. My employees are very satisfied with how the keys work,” says Rutger Barendse of D&B The Facility Group, who provides security staff for WTC Amsterdam. “It is easy as pie!” adds Sander.
