Viscount Systems’ Technology Receives U.S. Government Approval
August 20 2014 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Viscount Systems (OTCQB:VSYS), a leading provider of IT-based
access control software and services, today announced that its
Freedom Access Control security solution has been approved as a
fully-compliant FICAM solution under the program’s Physical Access
Control Systems (PACS) 13.02 topology. Successful completion of
FICAM testing ensures Freedom meets the security and
interoperability requirements outlined within the U.S Government’s
FICAM testing process.
FICAM (Federal Identity Credential and Access Management) is a
U.S.-government initiative designed to improve the nation's cyber
security. The program addresses network-credentialing challenges
and designs requirements for digital identity, credentialing and
access control across government agencies to ensure IT security
guidelines are met. As part of the FICAM testing process, Freedom
underwent a series of stringent testing processes to ensure the
system is not prone to any type of unauthorized network access.
Freedom is a revolutionary IT-centric access control system that
eliminates the need for traditional access control panels. Fully
compliant with FIPS-201 and HSPD-12, Freedom leverages the power of
the IT infrastructure to control access points through encryption
bridges that transform card readers into IP addressable devices.
All data is encrypted to eliminate the opportunity for cyber
threats, ensuring a high level of security is maintained. Network
complexity and upfront costs are immediately reduced due to a
reduction in hardware and infrastructure investments, allowing
users to meet strict budget requirements, and experience immediate
and long-term return-on-investment.
“Viscount is committed to delivering secure identity solutions
to the federal government and we are excited to announce Freedom’s
successful completion of FICAM testing,” said Dennis Raefield, CEO
and President, Viscount Systems. “As a fully compliant FICAM
solution, Freedom is now proven as a robust IT-centric physical
access control solution that meets the stringent demands of
government agencies. With this approval, Viscount now has a proven
solution available to many other government agencies that need to
meet stringent security requirements in a cost effective manner. We
believe this significantly changes the growth dynamics for this new
technology.”
