Key Takeaways From the Forbes Article

1. Invest in Mobile Access Control for Scalable, Secure Operations

Modern access control systems are no longer tied to physical fobs or outdated keycards. Businesses today are adopting mobile access control to provide secure, flexible, and efficient entry for employees, contractors, and visitors. With the ability to manage access in real time and layer security through device-level authentication, mobile access enables organizations to adapt quickly to disruptions or changes in policy.

Solutions like mobile credentials stored in a digital wallet (on a smartphone or wearable) are more secure, less costly to maintain, and easier to deploy at scale compared to legacy systems. Whether unlocking doors, operating elevators, or printing securely, mobile credentials offer a seamless, user-first experience.

2. Apply Zero-Trust Principles to Physical and Digital Spaces

Zero-trust security isn’t just for IT teams anymore. Physical access systems should follow the same principle: no user or device is automatically trusted. By combining mobile access control with strict identity verification and multifactor authentication, businesses can better secure both their digital assets and physical environments.

3. Don’t Skip Change Management

Deploying new access control technologies requires thoughtful change management. Rob emphasizes using models like ADKAR to help employees adopt new systems and embrace evolving security practices. Without employee buy-in, even the most advanced technologies can fall short.

Why Mobile Access Control Matters Now

Security challenges continue to evolve as organizations adopt hybrid work models and confront a rise in cyber and physical threats. Mobile access control offers a future-ready foundation for protecting people and assets—without adding friction to the user experience.

At Wavelynx, we design access solutions that are secure, interoperable, and easy to manage, helping businesses build resilience into every layer of their operations. We’re proud to be at the forefront of this shift, and honored to have Rob’s perspective featured in Forbes.
