Single Point of Entry (SPE)

Single Point of Entry (SPE) is a security approach where all access to a system, network, or facility is managed through a single, controlled point. This central control ensures consistent application of security policies, improves oversight, and simplifies monitoring. For example, in cybersecurity, SPE means users must go through one secure login portal to access multiple systems, reducing risks of unauthorized entry. In physical security, it involves one controlled entrance for a building. Overall, SPE enhances security, accountability, and efficiency by consolidating access points.
