System and Method for Providing Convergent Physical/Logical Location Aware Access Control

摘要

A method for enforcing physical access control and logical access control may include: (i) controlling access of a person to a physical location based on a physical access credential associated with the person provided to a physical access control system; (ii) controlling access of the person to an information system and an enterprise service based on a logical access credential associated with the person provided to a logical access control system; (iii) receiving information from the physical access control system regarding the physical access credential; (iv) receiving information from the logical access control system regarding the logical access credential; (v) determining an approximate location of the person based on the physical access credential and the logical access credential; and (vi) blocking unauthorized access between the physical access control system and the logical access control system by a first firewall.
