Abloy USA, has been awarded a prestigious Platinum ‘Govie’ Award for Protec2 Cliq Connect, the highest-level award available in the ‘Access Control Devices/Peripherals – Wireless’ category. Abloy USA received the award at ISC West 2019 International Security Conference & Exposition in Las Vegas.
The Protec2 Cliq access control system was chosen for the Platinum award as it combines the best parts of electronic and mechanical locking. Based on a rotating disc cylinder, the patented Protec2 ensures mechanical locking, while the electronic Cliq technology enables the flexible management of keys, access rights and the access register.
The Cliq Connect smartphone application makes it possible to update the user’s keys with new access rights anytime, anywhere. The app is easy to connect to both new and already existing Protec2 Cliq systems. It is ideal for geographically spread out organisations, and the optional personal PIN code authentication added to the mobile key makes it even more secure.
The product has been installed in applications all over the world. In the USA, a large utility company in the Midwest has secured its 4,000-plus transmission locations using Cliq, in line with new standards that required physical protection of critical cyber assets. Jorma Issakainen, Vice President, International Sales, Abloy Oy, added: “The award is a recognition for our hard and persistent work in developing modern, industry-leading access control solutions together with the Assa Abloy Group.”
