Abstract

A computer program product includes a non-transitory computer readable medium and program instructions embodied therein. An apparatus includes a non-transitory data storage device storing program instructions and at least one processor configured to process the program instructions. The program instructions are configured to, when processed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform various operations. The operations may include monitoring a tamper-detection sensor of an edge device, wherein the edge device performs a tamper-prevention operation in response to an output signal from the tamper-detection sensor. The operations may further include detecting entry of an authorized person into a facility where the edge device is located and automatically sending a disabling instruction to the edge device to cause the edge device to temporarily disable the tamper-prevention operation of the edge device in response to detecting entry of the authorized person into the facility.
