Genetec, a leading provider of open-architecture and unified IP security solutions, is highlighting the latest next generation security and access control solutions at the ongoing Gitex Technology Week in Dubai, UAE.

The company is showcasing new features and advantages of its IP access control system, Synergis, which is part of Genetec's continuing efforts to address incidents and security threats by empowering security operators with a forward-looking approach that unifies access control with video, communications management, intrusion, and more.

In order to give visitors a clearer understanding of the new solution, the company has a demo booth located at their partner stand at the DWTC.

According to the company's senior executives, today's markets are veering away from traditional and outdated access control solutions and have now migrated to a more open and modern IP access control system--offering more technology options, greater scalability and seamless integration with existing business and security systems.

The Synergis IP access control system (ACS) has been designed and engineered to meet the needs of modern and growing organizations, from controlling access to cardholder management, printing badges and conducting investigations, said its top official.

"Historically, access control systems were concerned with securing access through a door or to a facility and managing access rights - from a vendor’s and end user’s perspective, the conversation on security ended there," explained Firas Jadalla, the regional director for Middle East and Africa at Genetec.

"Today, the security landscape has evolved and new threats, specifically cyber-security threats, have emerged. Access control system should not only secure doors, but it should itself be protected from cyber-attacks," noted Jadalla.

"During this year’s edition of Gitex, we are showcasing and demonstrating next generation technologies and trends that are shaping the physical security industry. We are looking forward to meeting potential customers from various industry verticals in the region," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
