Mobile Access Trends
In the world of cybersecurity, ethical hacking proactively identifies security vulnerabilities before malicious actors (i.e., unethical hackers) can exploit them. By simulating real-world attacks, organisations can strengthen defences, protect sensitive data, and maintain public trust. In the physical security world, ethical hacking can transform cybersecurity of security systems from a reactive struggle into a strategic safeguard. We asked our Expert Panel Roundtable: What is the role of ethical hacking as it relates to physical security?
Next-generation (Next-Gen) technologies are products, services, or infrastructures that represent a significant leap forward rather than a small, incremental update. In the physical security industry, NextGen products are those that enable disruptive change, breakthrough performance, and a fundamental change that renders previous products obsolete. We asked our Expert Panel Roundtable: What is the next generation of physical security solutions, and how will they change the industry?
Emphasising proactive rather than reactive security shifts the focus from dealing with crises and damage control to prevention. Advantages of a proactive approach include cost efficiency, better business continuity, and fewer crises that draw attention away from strategic improvements. Staying ahead of threats is a core mission of the security department, and technology has evolved to enable security professionals to deliver on that mission better than ever. We asked our Expert Panel Roundtable: How are security systems transitioning from reactive to proactive, and what is the benefit?
Multiple technology trends are transforming the physical access control market. There is a fundamental shift away from physical cards and keys toward digital identities — mobile credentials, digital wallets, biometrics, and cloud-native access platforms. These next generation access solutions are radically reshaping how buildings operate, protect staff, and perform functionally. At the same time, AI and analytics solutions are being layered onto these physical access control systems to support predictive threat detection and behavioural insights. Access data itself is becoming an asset for sustainability, space optimisation, and smart building initiatives. Risk, impact operations and experience The annual HID Global Security and Identity Trends Report highlights these and other issues The annual HID Global Security and Identity Trends Report highlights these and other issues. The survey cites improving user convenience as a priority for nearly half of organisations, while 41% are focused on simplifying administration, and 28% struggle with system integration. These are not theoretical challenges, they are day‑to‑day friction points that add cost, increase risk, impact operations and experience, and, of course, must be addressed. HID Global’s commercial focus HID Global’s commercial focus is to help organisations digitise their access control — with mobile identities, biometrics, and cloud platforms — and then to use the data to deliver more value. “We are turning access control from an operational cost into a software-driven asset that improves efficiency, supports Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals and even creates new revenue opportunities,” says Steven Commander, HID Global’s Head of Consultant Relations. The impact of digital transformation Digital transformation is the method of moving access control from hardware and physical credentials Digital transformation is in the process of moving access control from hardware and physical credentials to a software-driven, integrated experience. The transformation strengthens security while also improving user convenience — transforming the “pavement to the desk” journey. HID enables this shift through mobile credentials, biometrics, cloud-native platforms, and solutions that allow third-party applications to run on door hardware. “This helps customers turn access data into operational and commercial outcomes, while also improving the overall user experience,” says Commander. Digital transformation in access control is not focused on chasing the latest trends. Rather, transformation is about turning software, data and integration into outcomes that matter to customers, says HID. “Security becomes stronger and more adaptive,” says Commander. “Operations become simpler and more cost‑effective. Experiences become seamless and consistent. Sustainability moves from ambition to action. And the financial case becomes clearer as efficiencies are banked and new value streams emerge.” The challenge of futureproofing with long lifecycles Given that physical security technologies will be in place for 15 to 20 years, it is important to plan for how systems can evolve over time. Considering how rapidly security threats, compliance standards, and user expectations change, 15 to 20 years is a long time. The decisions made at the beginning of a system’s lifecycle can either limit flexibility later (which will be costly) or enable long-term adaptability. Support for open standards such as Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) is therefore important Choosing products and platforms that are open, interoperable, and designed for updates can enable future-proof projects. Support for open standards such as Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) is therefore important. In addition, systems built on open controller platforms — such as Mercury — enable organisations to switch software providers or expand functionality without replacing core door hardware. Architectural openness is key to system lifecycles and maximising the return on investment (ROI) from a chosen solution. Digital credentials and mobile access Flexibility and upgradeability should also be top of mind when it comes to endpoints like access control readers. While RFID cards are still commonplace, there is a clear trend toward digital credentials and mobile access. Readers that support both allow organisations to transition at their own pace, without committing to a full system overhaul. A long system lifecycle does not mean technology should remain static. Security, particularly cybersecurity, demands more frequent updates. Technologies that support firmware upgrades in the field extend the value of a deployment while helping organisations keep pace with emerging threats. In that sense, lifecycle thinking is not just about longevity — it’s about maintaining resilience and readiness over time. Applying biometrics and mobile identities Biometrics is becoming mainstream as a credential alternative, strengthening security without adding friction Biometrics is becoming mainstream as a credential alternative, strengthening security without adding friction. Many organisations are now deploying biometrics to support fast, seamless access journeys, with adoption already around 39% in access control according to HID’s recent research. In addition, 80% of organisations surveyed expect to deploy mobile identities within the next five years. Full technology integration enables tap‑to‑access without opening an app; the user journey becomes faster, safer, and more convenient. “It is where the industry is headed and we are at the vanguard of this,” says Commander. Ongoing challenge of cybersecurity At HID Global, cybersecurity is embedded into everything, from corporate processes and development practices to the solutions they bring to market. “Our approach ensures that customers can strengthen their overall security posture, not only by deploying secure products but by benefitting from HID’s commitment to the highest industry standards,” says Commander. HID holds multiple globally recognised certifications, including ISO 27001, ISO 14298, SOC Type 2 and CSA STAR, which demonstrate their robust information security and cloud security practices. In addition, HID’s SEOS® secure chipset is independently SEAL-certified, providing one of the most advanced levels of protection available on the market today. “Ultimately, this means organisations are not just purchasing isolated secure products; they are implementing solutions developed and delivered within a comprehensive, cybersecure framework,” says Commander. “When deployed according to best practices, HID solutions enable customers to achieve the highest levels of resilience against evolving physical and cyber threats.” Developing green and sustainable solutions A huge amount of waste is generated from the manufacture of plastic RFID access cards Digital credentials align with the sustainable solutions that everyone wants. A huge amount of waste is generated from the manufacture of plastic RFID access cards. Over 550 million access cards are sold annually. This creates 2,700 tons of plastic waste and 11,400 tons of carbon, based on a PVC card weighing 5 grams. Therefore, digital credentials self-evidently reduce the reliance on plastic cards (helping reduce carbon emissions by up to 75% according to HID’s research), while leveraging access control system data supports energy optimisation by shutting down or reducing systems in unused spaces. Energy use and CO₂ emissions can be cut dramatically, showing how access systems can contribute to sustainability goals and green building certification. What is the latest in smart buildings? Smart buildings increasingly rely on mobile access control as the backbone for digital services. Real-time access data enables new services such as automated room bookings, HVAC control, lift/elevator calling, e-bike hiring, and so on. Smart buildings increasingly rely on mobile access control as the backbone for digital services The financial upside is clear; smart, digitally transformed buildings can deliver around 8% higher yields per square foot versus traditional office space. Operational savings accrue from reduced administration, the removal of card production and shipping, and lighter IT support. This creates a value cycle — better experiences drive adoption, adoption fuels monetisation, and monetisation funds further improvements. Achieving technology impact in the real world One standout project is One Bangkok – a $3.9 billion mixed used development in Thailand – which demonstrates the scale of what can be achieved when access control data is used for optimisation, particularly when it comes to monitoring facilities usage and occupier behaviours. By switching lights off or lowering the temperature in unused rooms, for example, the One Bangkok building demonstrates this potential with a 22% reduction in energy consumption, saving 17,000 MWh and 9,000 tons of CO₂ annually. Sustainability is a key factor in contributing to how properties are valued. And sustainability extends far beyond digital credentials having a lower environmental impact than plastic cards. Buildings with recognised sustainability certifications often command rental premiums of around 6%, and three‑quarters of security decision‑makers now consider environmental impact in their procurement assessments.

Cyberhaven, the pioneer in data security for the agentic enterprise, introduces Agentic Data Security (ADS), to help CISOs, data security teams, insider risk teams, and AI governance leaders say yes to AI agents without losing control of their data. Agentic Data Security shows security teams what every AI agent does with company data, who it is acting for, where the data goes next, and stops sensitive data before it leaves. The companies leaning furthest into the agentic future, from frontier AI labs to top quant hedge funds, already rely on Cyberhaven to protect their most sensitive data. ADS is available for purchase today. Novel data risks AI agents have changed how work gets done, and with them comes a new kind of insider risk. As agents move from pilots to production, security leaders across industries are asking the same question: what is an agent doing with our data, and who sent it? Agents act with the access of the people they serve, at machine speed, so a single agent can read a file, query a database, and share what it finds within one workflow. Cyberhaven Labs found that endpoint-based agentic AI app adoption doubled year over year, reaching 60% in May 2026. This rapid adoption creates novel data risks that can originate with “trusted” agents. “AI agents now work with the access of a trusted employee,” said Nishant Doshi, Cyberhaven CEO. “The first agentic data incident at most companies may be an agent doing exactly what it was asked to do, with data it should never have touched. Most companies will adopt agents faster than they can build new controls for them. Agentic Data Security gives them the confidence to deploy agents while keeping control of the data itself, not just the tooling that touches it.” Data security posture management Agentic Data Security is the latest module in Cyberhaven Flow, the unified data security platform that uses data lineage, AI, and autonomous protection to deliver data loss prevention (DLP), insider risk management (IRM), and data security posture management (DSPM) for humans and agents. It represents the next step in the technology strategy the company introduced in July, which brings data lineage, identity, and behaviour together to protect data across every human and agentic workflow. “One cannot govern AI-era risk without understanding what data was touched, by whom, through what workflow, and whether that movement was authorized,” said Lawrence Pingree, Head of Research, SACR, an industry analyst firm. “Cyberhaven’s data lineage gives security teams that foundation for people and AI agents together, in one platform.” Identifying risky behaviour Keep the Agents, Keep Control of the Data Cyberhaven’s Agentic Data Security gives security teams four controls over every agent: Find every agent - Discover every AI tool and agent running across endpoints, any cloud or browser, including unsanctioned apps, and score each one for risk. See what it does - Capture prompts, tool calls, file reads, reasoning traces, and responses, along with the data involved in each step. Because they are documented like any other content, every agent action is open to inspection. Know who sent what - Tie each action to the person or system behind it, with people and agents in one view. Stop data before it leaves - Apply existing policies for people to agentic actions to identify risky behaviour, and contain sensitive data before it leaves, without blocking teams from adopting AI. Unified policy engine “The agentic enterprise will be defined by how well companies control the data agents touch, not by how many they deploy. Agents change the math on data exfiltration: they move faster, at scale, with trusted access,” said Dan Walsh, CISO, Datavant. “The winners will say yes to AI without watching their data walk out the door, and that requires security that follows the data everywhere it goes. That’s the direction Cyberhaven is set to lead.” Cyberhaven traces the full lifecycle of data, adapting protection as context changes. Agentic Data Security brings that to agents with complete visibility into workflows through data lineage, one unified architecture for both humans and agents, and protection that takes action in real time through enforcement across endpoints, browsers, and the cloud. ADS applies data lineage and a unified policy engine to agents, without adding another tool, console, or set of policies. Understanding AI data lineage “Data security in the agentic era will also be defined by understanding AI data lineage,” said Manish Kalia, Chief Product Officer at Cyberhaven. “Our proprietary AI models help customers not only classify their data accurately but also understand its flow as AI moves and transforms it, so Cyberhaven can protect data at rest and in motion. Because agent tool calls and reasoning traces are content Cyberhaven can already inspect, the policies customers use to manage insider risk now apply to agents too.”

The new AEX-2UA2 expands the SuperEdge portfolio with an alternative rear-access 2U short-depth architecture. It pairs an Intel® Xeon® 6700P processor with a broader range of high-performance GPU configurations, allowing system integrators and enterprise customers to select an infrastructure design that better fits existing racks, cabling, maintenance workflows, and installation environments. Cost-efficient semantic search The expanded SuperEdge family runs the full range of enterprise AI workloads—from private AI knowledge assistants to executive decision intelligence—entirely on-premises. GPU configuration scales to the task: NVIDIA L40S handles cost-efficient semantic search and knowledge Q&A across departments; NVIDIA L40S and RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell run mid-size (7B–13B parameter) models for AI agents that draft summaries, automate workflows, and answer compliance questions in real time. NVIDIA H200 NVL GPUs and RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell support large (70B+ parameter) models for executive decision intelligence across vast internal knowledge bases; and dual NVIDIA H200 NVL GPUs with NVIDIA NVLink let enterprises fine-tune models on proprietary data on-premises. Searching disconnected repositories With inference processed locally, executives gain real-time visibility into operations, employees get instant answers instead of searching disconnected repositories, and enterprises can adopt generative AI at scale while meeting data privacy, governance, and compliance requirements. The NVIDIA-Certified AEX-2UA1 and new AEX-2UA2 give organisations the flexibility to align GPU performance, system architecture, and deployment format with evolving AI workloads—from private generative AI and multimodal inference to AI agents and digital humans.
