What is Anti-passback?
Anti-passback is a security feature in access control systems that prevents users from gaining access to a secured area twice with a single authorization.
In an access control system with anti-passback enabled, a user's access credential is only valid for one entry to a specific area. When the user enters that area, the system records the time and location of the entry, and the credential is "checked out" by the system. The user must then exit the area using an authorized exit point, which the system also records. Once the user has exited, the credential is "checked in" by the system and is once again available for use.
Enhanced Security
Anti-passback prevents individuals from passing their access credentials, such as keycards or PINs, to others for unauthorized entry. This helps in maintaining the integrity of the access control system and ensures that only authorized personnel can enter restricted areas.
Prevention of Tailgating
Tailgating occurs when an unauthorized individual follows closely behind an authorized person to gain access to a secured area. Anti-passback helps prevent this by ensuring that each access credential can only be used once within a specified timeframe, thus deterring unauthorized individuals from attempting to tailgate.
Reduced Risk of Insider Threats
Insider threats, where individuals with legitimate access misuse their privileges for malicious purposes, can pose a significant risk to organizations. Anti-passback mitigates this risk by ensuring that access credentials are used only as intended, thereby reducing the potential for insider-related security breaches.
Improved Accountability
By enforcing strict access control policies, anti-passback enhances accountability within an organization. Individuals are held responsible for their own access actions, and any attempts to circumvent the system can be traced back to the source, facilitating investigations and maintaining a culture of accountability.
