Closing the gaps: when smart lock security meets cyber resilience

Security that matches the stakes

This shift is pushing many in the industry to look more closely at the solutions they’ve relied on for years. Can they adapt to evolving threats? Do they help ensure continuity when systems are under stress? Are they really built for the risks we face today?

At ALCEA, we believe physical access deserves the same level of attention as any other part of a critical system. That’s why our approach brings together certified, high-resistance hardware with built-in digital protection - so you don’t have to choose between durability and cybersecurity. You get both.

Moving beyond keys and credentials

The ABLOY BEAT keyless offer is more than a smart lock; it’s a smarter way to manage access. Designed for critical infrastructure, it replaces physical keys with secure digital credentials. It operates wirelessly, communicates in real time, and integrates with other systems. Built for demanding environments, it gives teams greater control and clarity, simplifying access without compromising security, and delivering the intelligence today’s operations require.

Pair BEAT with the ALCEA GATEWAY, and access becomes something more: a source of insight. The GATEWAY connects locks, systems, and software into one real-time network. That means you can grant or revoke access remotely, monitor usage, and react instantly if something goes wrong. There’s no complicated onboarding. No long deployment cycles. Just smart, secure infrastructure that adapts to your needs.

One system. Fewer blind spots.

In our experience, many vulnerabilities don’t come from the lock or the system itself, but from what’s missing in between. Too many providers, too many platforms, and too little integration. The result? Delays, inconsistencies, and possible interruption of services with the risk of high costs. 

We’ve seen the difference it makes when every part of the system is connected—from access control and key management to intrusion detection, video surveillance, and beyond. When your security speaks the same language across all layers, you’re not stuck reacting to problems - you’re ready for them.

That’s what our Total Security Solution is built to do: bring everything under one roof, with one standard, and one partner. You gain visibility, reduce complexity, and strengthen every layer of your security, without needing to piece it together yourself.

Because resilience isn’t just about withstanding pressure. It’s about knowing your system can adapt, respond, and keep going - no matter what.
