Viscount announces Freedom 9.2.B
March 2016 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
Viscount Systems, Inc., announced the release of Freedom 9.2.B.
Viscount Freedom 9.2.B provides deeper integration with IT architectures to
deliver a comprehensive enterprise-class security solution. Real-time
authentication with Active Directory allows for instantaneous data syncing
from the directory to the card reader and leverages AD to provision access
to the physical space. Freedom detects organizational units (OU) and
security groups to enable users to choose groups to import, map user
attributes, provision physical access to facilities, confirm user validity
through AD at every card swipe and more. The comprehensive integration
between Freedom and AD allows AD to become the authoritative source for
permissions across logical and physical networks.
Freedom is a Web-based physical access control solution designed to fit
seamlessly into existing IT infrastructure, and support business continuity
planning. Built on a REST API, Freedom acts like most IT applications,
enabling businesses to future-proof installations at a lower cost than
other end-to-end PACS solutions in the market. It is also flexible enough
to support smaller deployments via the Freedom CUBE appliance with a very
competitive price point and the convenience that comes with a browser-based
software platform.
Freedom 9.2.B is designed to be cyber secure, delivering the ability to
create a truly hardened network and authentication architecture and
process. Vulnerability is reduced through the elimination of control
panels. The Freedom platform is compliant with government standards such as
FICAM 13.02, FIPS-201 and more, and is proven in a wide variety of
government, commercial enterprise, healthcare and municipal installations
across the globe.
