The recent launch of Gallagher Security's Command Centre version 9.50 introduces new features aimed at maximizing organizational security investments.
This update prominently features the complete integration of AccessNow, Gallagher Security’s cloud-native platform designed to automate the entire access and credential request process, encompassing request submission, approval, and provisioning.
Streamlining a Manual Process
Josh Arnold, Gallagher's Chief Product Officer, highlights the outdated nature of access management in many institutions, where processes remain largely manual, often reliant on email communications and susceptible to approval delays or losses. "AccessNow transforms this experience by enabling users to submit requests from any device, automatically routing approvals to the right people, and provisioning access directly within Command Centre once approved," notes Arnold.
Enhanced Security Configurations
In its effort to innovate with practical value, Gallagher introduces a new PIN Exemption feature
AccessNow is designed for efficiency, facilitating configurable workflows that allow security teams to automate access request handling. Alongside this, Command Centre v9.50 provides several enhancements, streamlining operations, enhancing accessibility, and extracting deeper insights from security data, thus bolstering both operational efficiency and security.
In its effort to innovate with practical value, Gallagher introduces a new PIN Exemption feature. This option offers flexible accessibility by allowing certain individuals to bypass PIN entry in card and PIN secured zones, catering to both temporary and permanent needs without sacrificing overall security, as explained by Arnold.
Advanced Authentication and Data Integration
The update further expands biometric capabilities, integrating the VisionPass SP Fingerscan Module. This technology combines facial recognition with fingerprint scanning in a single device, providing adaptable authentication solutions suitable for diverse conditions.
Additionally, the new reporting dataset feature enhances Command Centre’s integration and data capabilities, enabling connection with analytics platforms like Power BI, Tableau, and Excel. This integration allows organizations to derive enriched insights by merging security data with broader business intelligence tools.
"Command Centre v9.50 is another step forward in the value security solutions deliver," comments Josh Arnold. "Security teams are under increasing pressure to do more with less, while managing growing complexity. This release reiterates Gallagher’s commitment to automating the manual, improving accessibility for all users, and giving organizations the insights they need to make smarter decisions faster." The Command Centre v9.50 is now available.
The latest Gallagher Security Command Centre v9.50 release is designed to help organizations achieve more with their security investment.
Headlining the release is the full integration of AccessNow, Gallagher Security’s cloud-native platform that automates the entire access and credential request process from request through to approval and provisioning.
Largely manual process
Josh Arnold, Chief Product Officer, says at many organizations today, granting access remains a largely manual process, with requests handled via email, and approvals often delayed or lost.
“AccessNow transforms this experience by enabling users to submit requests from any device, automatically routing approvals to the right people, and provisioning access directly within Command Centre once approved,” explains Josh.
Broader security settings
“At its core, AccessNow removes friction by enabling configurable workflows. Security teams can define and tailor automation to handle the full range of access requests they receive.” Command Centre v9.50 also introduces a range of new capabilities that streamline processes, improve accessibility, and unlock greater insight from security systems – enabling organizations to operate more efficiently while strengthening protection.
The release reflects Gallagher’s ongoing commitment to practical innovation that delivers real operational value. “A new PIN Exemption feature is introduced, providing a flexible accessibility option. This allows organizations to exempt individuals from PIN entry requirements in card + PIN secured areas, supporting both temporary and permanent accessibility needs without compromising broader security settings,” says Josh.
Flexible authentication options
Further expanding biometric capabilities, Command Centre v9.50 now supports the VisionPass SP Fingerscan Module. By combining facial recognition and fingerprint scanning within a single device, the solution provides flexible authentication options that can operate independently or together, ensuring reliable access in a wide range of conditions.
In addition, the Command Centre release strengthens integration and data capabilities, with a new Reporting Dataset enabling Command Centre to connect with third-party analytics platforms including Power BI, Tableau, and Excel. This allows organizations to extract greater value from their security data by combining it with broader business intelligence tools.
“Command Centre v9.50 is another step forward in the value security solutions deliver,” says Josh. “Security teams are under increasing pressure to do more with less, while managing growing complexity. This release reiterates Gallagher’s commitment to automating the manual, improving accessibility for all users, and giving organizations the insights they need to make smarter decisions faster.” Command Centre v9.50 is now available.
