Business Wire
Viscount Systems (OTCQB:VSYS), a leading provider of IT-based
security software, today announced that it has been awarded
contracts to secure an additional five states of U.S. Government
facilities Pennsylvania, Ohio, Arizona, Arkansas, and South
Carolina for the Department of Homeland Security – United States
Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
“Viscount recognized early on that physical security solutions
need to operate similar to IT systems, where non-proprietary
hardware and open standards have been implemented for many years.
This IT-centric approach enables more optimized solutions and
higher return-on-investment,” said Dennis Raefield, Viscount’s
President and CEO. “USCIS continued deployment of our solution
confirms this, and serves to deepen our partnership with them.”
Freedom’s unique architecture leverages existing IT
infrastructure to meet the FICAM (Federal Identity Credential and
Access Management) requirements by integrating the PIV and PIV-I
(personal identity verification - interoperability) credential
certificate validation and authentication functionality directly
into the access control software. Physical access points are
controlled using IP encryption bridges to connect door hardware and
transform card readers into IP addressable devices. Credentials are
presented at the reader and cryptographically challenged by the
Freedom PACS Validation software. These credentials are then
authenticated and validated before an authorization check is
performed to grant or deny access to the cardholder.
Freedom is listed on the U.S. General Services Administration
(GSA) official physical access control system Approved Products
List (PACS APL) for end-to-end, commercially available products
approved for procurement by federal agencies.
