"We continue to work closely with US Federal Government agencies," noted Stephen Pineau, President and CEO of Viscount. "The original benefit of Freedom for US Federal Government agencies was the cost savings of eliminating control hardware.”
The system was enhanced to include cost savings on software through being the first physical access control system solution with built-in certificate revocation list and enrollment software, said Pineau. Viscount's vision of physical security systems being an extension of logical security and identity management will give the company a major compliance advantage with the US Government expected to implement many of the core design elements of the access control system with the release of FIPS 201-2 in the coming months.
