An Access Control Specialist is responsible for ensuring that only authorized personnel are able to access restricted areas or confidential information within an organization. They typically install and manage security systems, such as card readers or biometric scanners, and monitor activity logs to identify and investigate any security breaches.
Access Control Specialists work closely with IT and security teams to develop and implement security protocols and policies that help to protect against cyber and physical threats. Additionally, they may provide training to employees on security best practices and conduct risk assessments to identify potential vulnerabilities in an organization’s security infrastructure.
