Modernize Access Control Without Replacing Your Hardware
73% of access control systems are over five years old. Most were never built to handle modern cyber threats, remote management, or compliance mandates like NIS2. This whitepaper shows how to modernize without ripping out what you already have.
This white paper articulates a compelling thesis for a “Third Way”: Open-Architecture Cloud Access Control. It posits that the future of enterprise security lies in a decoupled architecture where cloud-native software drives innovation while open-standard hardware ensures investment protection and operational resilience. Acre Access Control (formerly Feenics) serves as the primary case study for this paradigm shift. By leveraging non-proprietary Mercury Security hardware combined with a programmable, cloud-native infrastructure built on Amazon Web Services (AWS), organizations can achieve the “Modernize Without Compromise” ideal.
