Johnson Controls., the global pioneer for smart, healthy and sustainable buildings, is showcasing its portfolio of in-house developed and cyber-hardened access control and video surveillance solutions for enterprise applications during ISC West. At booth 18033, Johnson Controls experts are on hand to discuss the latest solutions enhancing physical and cyber security, while adapting to compliance regulations.
“The enterprise security landscape is undergoing a transformative shift propelled by the adoption of new industry standards and stringent regulatory requirements,” said Faisal Pandit, vice president and general manager of Global Security Products at Johnson Controls. “It is critical for the industry to come together and provide insights that not only help drive security and compliance but also improve business operations and empower business success.”
Streamlined, flexible operations
Innovations in more cyber-secure, browser-based platforms allow users to manage and monitor access control and video surveillance from anywhere in the world. The latest release of our flagship C•CURE IQ web client empowers operators to stay informed and provide everyone from front-desk reception to management teams with the information they need when they need it.
With C•CURE IQ, security operations can be optimized through security intelligence features
The administrative workload of security operators is dramatically reduced through C•CURE Portal features such as Access Management Workflow, where the request and approval process for access clearance is automated and built straight in the platform. With C•CURE IQ, security operations can be optimized through security intelligence features from a single, intuitive platform to cut through data and deliver critical information first.
Reducing security infrastructure costs
The enterprise segment of the security industry is facing historic changes with standards such as NERC-CIP (North American Electric Reliability Corporation Critical Infrastructure Protection) and OSDP (Open Supervised Device Protocol). Major shifts like these often result in high tech debt, and for some, the investment can present an obstacle that hinders compliance. To overcome this challenge and minimize the burden on security teams, system updates and replacements must be easy and cost-effective.
Johnson Controls has led the charge as one of the first manufacturers to develop OSDP hardware within the C•CURE platform. The recently launched OSDP G2-RM-4E Door Control Module offers unique flexibility working in both OSDP mode and legacy “RM” mode to enable convenient backward compatibility, which is key to a cost-effective update of a security system.
OSDP Server Cabinet Lock
One iSTAR Ultra G2 SE controller can support up to 32 KS210 units directly
Continuing the OSDP theme, they are excited to announce our partnership with ASSA ABLOY in launching support for the KS210 integrated OSDP Server Cabinet Lock. Unique in the industry, one iSTAR Ultra G2 SE controller can support up to 32 KS210 units directly, including embedded power management for all the KS210 locks. This allows for granular yet cost-effective, rack-by-rack access control to help keep data centers safe and secure.
When it comes to updating panels quickly and effectively, the latest Software House iSTAR G2 family of controllers leverages the latest innovations to enhance security, reduce operational effort and improve user experience.
Further strengthening its enterprise product portfolio, Johnson Controls has added a new Rack Mount Network Video Recorder (NVR) to the American Dynamics VideoEdge video surveillance portfolio, providing the highest possible reliability and increased performance with 50% more throughput. With a 5-year warranty and next-business-day on-site service, this new Rack Mount NVR sets the standard for the expansion of this portfolio to provide additional protection and peace of mind.
C•CURE platform
The Johnson Controls C•CURE platform integrates with over 300 technology partners
Platforms that prioritize interoperability between access control and security products streamline system updates and minimize risks and vulnerabilities that can be exposed when unsupported systems are in use.
For example, the Johnson Controls C•CURE platform integrates with over 300 technology partners, with additional partner growth in continuous development.
The demand for flexibility not only extends to security operators but also building occupants, providing dynamic and personalized methods to engage with buildings. SwiftConnect, a C•CURE integration for mobile credential management, enables users to control credentials through an iPhone or Apple Watch to access buildings, turnstiles and other areas, such as conference rooms or hot desks for hybrid workers.
