Viscount Systems Secures Second U.S. Patent for IT-Centric Freedom Access Control Platform

Business Wire
Viscount Systems (OTCQB:VSYS), a leading provider of IT-based
security software and services, announced today it has received a
second U.S. patent for its Freedom Access Control solution,
building on the technology’s strong IP foundation. U.S. Patent
8854177 B2 outlines the system and method for storing user
permissions for multiple disparate physical devices in a unified
permissions database, connected to a network in common with the
products.
Physical access control traditionally requires significant
amounts of expensive proprietary hardware to drive the decision
database. Viscount’s software-centric Freedom Access Control
solution takes physical access control panels out of the equation.
Instead, IP encryption bridges receive messages from the Freedom
software platform to trigger locks and monitor doors. The solution
works by assigning permissions for existing users and groups
through databases, such as Active Directory, based on the functions
of each IP bridge and associated MAC address.
“This new patent marks another significant advance in how access
control systems are deployed and managed,” said Dennis Raefield,
CEO, Viscount Systems. “It further validates our vision to
transform access control from a physical security solution to a
unified physical/logical security software application. Innovation
is at the core of Viscount’s Freedom platform and as such, we
continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible.”
For the end user, unified software systems, such as Freedom,
provide a wide range of benefits from measurable ROI and simplified
systems management to new levels of functionality and harmonization
with logical and cyber security applications. Designed as a
software-centric platform, Freedom delivers simplified system
audits and compliance through correlated logical and physical
databases and logs, and creates direct relationships between IT and
corporate security functions.
