31 Jan Nedap introduces industry-first Device Certificate Management

Nedap announced the launch of both AEOS Certificate Management and Device Certificate Management within its on-premises access control system, AEOS.

This feature positions AEOS as the first access control system to implement certificate management from server to reader, setting a new standard in the industry.

The integration of Certificate Management into AEOS enhances the system’s security by enabling the use of unique digital certificates to establish secure, encrypted communication across all AEOS system components (including the server, controllers, and access readers).

This advancement ensures encrypted communication throughout the entire access control infrastructure, significantly reducing the risk of cyber threats and unauthorised access.

“By adopting this innovative approach, organizations can centrally manage and distribute unique digital certificates, simplifying the process of maintaining these secure and up-to-date certificates across all AEOS system components, making the system more secure than ever. This not only streamlines administrative tasks but also strengthens the overall security posture of the organization,” said Alexander Buiter, Product Owner at Nedap.
