Does Your School District Use Proximity Cards for Building Access?

There are New Security Risks to be Aware of!

Proximity cards have inherent physical risks. Cards can be stolen, and card readers can be tampered with, but the newest and biggest threat is duplication.

New technologies have made it easier than ever to duplicate proximity cards, giving credentials to unauthorized people who may have malicious intent.

• Cards can be duplicated at kiosks found at your local retail or hardware store.
  
• There’s a variety of cheap, easy-to-use devices anyone can purchase online that can copy card credentials.
