Built-In Utility Streamlines Cleanup of Outdated Access Data for Insider Threat Prevention

Sielox, the established industry leader in layered access control solutions, is reminding access control administrators to conduct a spring cleaning of their access control system using the System Clean Up Utility feature exclusively available in the Sielox Pinnacle™ Access Control Platform. The System Clean Up Utility performs a fast and thorough cleanup of invalid or outdated access control data, resulting in better system management and security. 

“What better time than now for access control systems to undergo a spring cleaning of their own?” said Karen Evans, President, Sielox. “Pinnacle saves valuable time and resources with this feature, bringing potential access control risks to the forefront and allowing for tightened system security.”

With Pinnacle’s System Clean Up Utility feature, system administrators can identify and address neglected or overlooked access data like expired cardholders, duplicate access levels, and inactive cardholders. Data like this compounds over time, threatening organizations with incidents caused by limitations in managing the continually changing state of rights within an access control system. 

Pinnacle’s proactive approach in removing this data enables improved security across the enterprise by managing risks and preventing insider threats.

The Pinnacle Access Control Platform offers 8 tests that can be selected from the System Cleanup Utility that identify risky access data, including unused access levels, duplicate access levels, inactive cardholders, and more. Regularly running these tests allows administrators to identify associated criteria and provide immediate, remedial action.

With hundreds of user-selectable filters to provide real-time data on virtually every aspect of access activity and system status, the Sielox Pinnacle Access Control Platform effectively transforms traditional proactive access control deployments into pre-emptive solutions for myriad physical security and business intelligence applications. Current Pinnacle platform users already have access to the System Cleanup Utility feature at no added cost to them.
