Balancing security and convenience with Gen Z's shifting demands for their college experience

Security on campuses is an exceptionally vital topic today, with safety presenting a distinct challenge for administrators striving to cultivate a welcoming environment while protecting students.

The heightened emphasis on safety in the past few years has made it a top priority for higher education institutions of all sizes and locations, including urban and rural areas.

Emerging generations want different things, like ease of movement and convenience, while also demanding a comprehensive approach to provide security.

Your current door access and security solution may cover essential functions found in general commercial systems. Still, these systems are built as one-size-fits-all and don't meet the specific requirements and needs of the education community.

So, security managers, IT directors, and decision-makers in the higher education sector face the challenges of security and convenience to address the new demands.
