A Community of Interoperability

Join a global community driving secure, open standards for credentials and devices. Be part of a network of leading technology developers,  integrators, and solutions providers committed to setting the standard for access control interoperability. 

The Ecosystem that Unlocks Access, Identity, and Innovation

LEAF is the technology framework that empowers enterprises to evolve their security posture through interoperable credentials, devices, and systems—delivering a pathway to true physical and logical convergence without vendor lock-in.

From Legacy to Leading Edge

Yesterday's security doesn’t protect you from today’s evolving threats. The industry is at a critical inflection point: millions of unsecure credentials expose enterprises to costly risks every day. Security professionals are being pressed to make infrastructure upgrade decisions which will determine their security roadmap for years to come. Now is the time to choose the framework capable of protecting you today while providing a pathway to staying ahead of future threats.

Proven & Pressure Tested Technology

LEAF has been both implemented and pressure-tested by the largest enterprises for over a decade. The technology framework solves both current and future security needs through unified physical-logical solutions built to adapt as threats evolve. LEAF is backed by a community of members that are committed to security, compliance, and longevity through interoperability.

LEAF isn't driven by a single manufacturer's agenda—it's powered by a community of technology experts, integrators, and end users who believe the industry deserves better.  The community removes industry siloes and drives collective innovation to deliver complete, credible, and collaborative solutions. This approach scales in step with your own evolving security posture.
