Identity One announced the successful testing of their joint solution with Convergint Federal for a North Carolina military facility. The military facility expressed a need to register Common Access Cards (CAC) into an air-gapped AMAG physical access control system (PACS).
Convergint’s integrated solution employs Identity One’s FIPSlink software to ensure the facility’s ability to become fully FICAM compliant when requirements change.
“Convergint Federal has extensive experience in adhering to government compliance and regulations including high-security specifications, and life safety, physical security, and cybersecurity standards and we’re excited to work alongside the Identity One team that has deep expertise in the industry,” said Shane Hamilton, Program Manager, Convergint.
Shane Hamilton adds, “Our commitment to meeting and exceeding government standards is complemented by our drive to be our customers’ best service provider, and we’re proud to collaborate with a team that prioritises the same mission.”
