  • Aug 16, 2024

Genetec Inc., a provider of unified security, public safety, operations, and business intelligence solutions, trecetnyl announced that Security Center 5.12 now complies with FIPS 201 and is approved by the Federal Identity Credential and Access Management (FICAM) conformance program.

With this certification, government entities can trust that Genetec software meets stringent federal security standards to ensure that only authorized individuals are provided access to sensitive data and facilities.

This certification extends the list of supported FICAM access control hardware within Security Center Synergis™. The Genetec access control platform is now certified to offer an end-to-end FICAM-compliant solution with HID pivCLASS readers, HID Signo readers, Veridt readers, as well as Assa Abloy integrated locks and server cabinet locks.

FIPS 201-certified products undergo rigorous testing, resulting in fewer vulnerabilities and robust security features, ensuring that federal organizations' sensitive data are protected.

In a market often constrained by proprietary systems, Synergis stands out by offering multiple open architecture systems that efficiently validate Personal Identity Verification (PIV and PIV-I) credentials for federal employees and contractors. This allows federal agencies and organizations to choose from a diverse range of certified and secure access control solutions, ensuring greater flexibility and interoperability.

“With this updated FIPS 201 certification and expanded support, federal customers can benefit from the latest generation of access control solutions,” said Thibaut Louvet, Product Group Senior Director at Genetec Inc. “Genetec is committed to providing the most up-to-date interoperability and options for FICAM-certified products.”

Other Genetec FICAM-compliant solutions include the Synergis™ Cloud Link intelligent IoT gateway appliance. Synergis Cloud Link addresses the increasing demand for non-proprietary access control solutions and provides a safe and secure gateway to a cloud or hybrid deployment for government organizations.
