Abstract: A facilities access breach detection and data protection system and method. A facilities access breach detection and data protection system and method may be configured to monitor an unauthorized access event at a secured data center facility via one or more breach detection sensors. A sensor input indicating a breach event may be communicated to an electronic access controller configured to process the sensor input. If the controller determines the sensor input indicates a breach event, the controller may be configured to communicate a command to a security server comprising erasure software stored thereon. The security server may be communicably engaged with a plurality of data servers housed at the data center facility. The security server may launch an instance of the erasure software to permanently erase all or part of the data residing on the plurality of data servers being housed at the data center facility.

Abstract: An electronic access control system comprising an electronic access control device that is communicably engaged with a local or remote alarm system via a networked communications interface. In accordance with certain embodiments, the electronic access control device may be operably engaged with the local or remote alarm system to send and receive one or more communication and execute one or more operations to (1) authenticate/authorize an access request from an authorized user, (2) suppress/disable a door intrusion alarm and (3) actuate the electronic access control device to unlock a door. In accordance with certain aspects of the present disclosure, the electronic access control system may be communicably engaged with one or more remote server, back-end data system, remote alarm system and/or electronic access control system to enable/enforce the interface between the electronic access control device and the local or remote alarm system.

Abstract: A wirelessly controlled blocking apparatus to enable a single-point locking system for securing multiple access points on a cabinet panel. Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide for a wirelessly controlled blocking apparatus to enable a single-point locking system for securing multiple access points. In accordance with certain embodiments, the wirelessly controlled blocking apparatus is utilized to secure an access panel of an enclosure, such as an electronics cabinet. In accordance with certain preferred embodiments, an electronics cabinet comprises a plurality of quarter-turn cam latches being installed on the access panel and configured to selectively secure the access panel to an opening of the enclosure.

Abstract: A keyless puck lock apparatus with wireless communications and power interfaces. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a keyless puck lock system enabling a low cost and high security solution that is difficult to tamper with and defeat. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the system uses a keyless puck lock assembly that includes a hasp assembly and a keyless lock mechanism that does not require any physical mechanical keys so that it does not have a mechanical cylinder inserted therein to lock or unlock the puck lock. Accordingly, the keyless puck lock system in accordance with one or more embodiments of the present invention does not have a physical keyway which is a security attack point that is included in conventional hockey puck-type locks.

Abstract: A smart sensor early warning notification system. Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide for a smart sensor early warning notification system comprising a smart sensor coupled to a door and configured to detect one or more unauthorized access events, including sawing, blunt force and other atypical vibrations to the door. A smart sensor may be communicably engaged with a local alarm to communicate sensor data received at the smart sensor. The local alarm may be configured to process the sensor data received from the smart sensor and trigger an alarm event and/or notification or pre-event detection alert in response to the sensor data. A door controller may be configured to send different pulses or messages to indicate the type of alarm event to an alarm management server and/or access control servers via public/private cloud.

Abstract: An electronic access control system and method that enables conditional access to electronic locking systems according to user-based and situation-based safety parameters. Aspects of the present disclosure provide for a mobile access interface whereby the network operations center can assess a safety risk for a service site based on a combination of user-generated inputs, sensor inputs and/or external data inputs. The system may comprise a dynamic rules engine configured to dynamically determine safety and compliance associated with an access-restricted area. If the access-restricted area is safe, the system may enable access according to one or more access protocols. If the access-restricted area is unsafe, or the user requesting access is not in compliance with one or more static or dynamic safety parameters, the system may disable standard access protocols and deny access to the requesting party.

Abstract: A multi-customer electronic access control (EAC) system comprising a mobile electronic device communicably engaged with at least one EAC server via a first communications protocol and communicably engaged with at least one EAC controller and lock via a second communications protocol.
