Zero-Trust for Physical Access: Moving Beyond Keys and Credentials

Aug 27 2025

3:20 PM - 3:50 PM

Physical access still relies heavily on trust—keys get lost, credentials are shared, and permissions quickly become outdated. While cybersecurity universally embraces zero-trust models, physical access management dangerously lags behind, creating significant vulnerabilities across both mechanical and digital access systems.

In this session, Michael Stuer, CEO of portier, explores how AI-driven access mapping and predictive analytics can dynamically enforce zero-trust principles, ensuring users receive only the access they need—no more, no less. Discover how portierX combines spatial pathfinding, machine learning, and continuous access validation to transform physical access into a truly adaptive, intelligent security system.

Key Takeaways:
• How AI-driven access mapping and predictive security can enforce Zero-trust dynamically.
• Understand how zero-trust principles apply to both mechanical and digital access control.
• Learn how access optimisation can enhance security and efficiency.
