Viscount Systems is pleased to announce that Viscount's Freedom has been selected to secure its first US Department of Homeland Security agency facility.
“We are very pleased that the top echelon of US Government agencies are now recognizing the benefits of Viscountc platform compared to traditional control panel architecture,” noted Stephen Pineau, CEO of Viscount Systems. “In addition to cost savings, Freedom eliminates the cyber security vulnerabilities of panels and our new unified Microsoft Active Directory platform provides a simplified and more secure architecture for administering the system. The platform is Cloud ready and Microsoft Azure compatible to allow a seamless migration. Finally, physical security at US Government facilities is being driven by the requirement to be compliant with the new FIPS 201 standard and there are estimates that tens of thousands of systems will be required to be upgraded in the coming years.
“This project involves the potential deployment of approximately 300 US government sites which expands our total potential deployments to close to 1500 US government facilities based on other pilot projects underway. We expect this number to increase rapidly through the coming months. The typical revenue per site should average approximately $10,000.”
