The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has grown into one of the most valuable and most recognized sports franchises in the world. With its rise in popularity, the need for a greater focus on security became apparent. A key challenge UFC faced was to ensure staff security with a control system designed to eliminate unauthorized access to and throughout its offices and facilities. While UFC’s office facility had an access control system in place, it was inadequate and did not offer the extensive functionality and versatility of a premium access control system. There were considerable reliability concerns.

UFC approached A&B Security Group, a renowned Las Vegas security and lock expert, to discuss its needs. It wasn’t long before UFC learned what Keyscan Access Control Systems had to offer. The initial project was installed by A&B Security Group, a company with years of experience and a number of similar and successful installations in the past. This installation began at UFC’s home office in Las Vegas. It consisted of a combination of Keyscan’s single-door and multi-door control panels. At the time, it controlled a total of 50 doors, in six separate buildings, all regulated by Keyscan’s access control management software. Since this installation, UFC has put the entire Keyscan system to the test. It serves multiple buildings; it integrates well with other existing systems, and it keeps up with expansion objectives.

Keyscan’s ability to integrate with other security products also proved successful. With Keyscan software’s optional intrusion panel software module, arming and disarming the intrusion alarm was easily performed at any reader by any authorized person entering or leaving the office.
Keyscan’s web client software module provides additional convenience and flexibility. A true and secure mobile solution, the module allows UFC to perform system maintenance and tasks from any remote location using a web-enabled PC or mobile device.
The Keyscan system has also eliminated any concerns associated with potentially lost or stolen keys. If a card credential was lost, it simply canceled it and issued a new card credential, rather than issue new keys.
