Geofencing Security
Using geographic boundaries to restrict or allow access to digital resources.
Understanding Geofencing Security
Geofencing security combines location-aware technologies with security controls to create dynamic, location-based security perimeters. These virtual boundaries can trigger alerts, restrict access, or activate specific security protocols when devices or individuals enter, exit, or move within defined areas.
