Genetec Introduces New I/O Module For High-Assurance Access Control

Genetec Inc., a pioneering technology provider of unified security, public safety, operations, and business intelligence solutions, announced the introduction of a new I/O module to its portfolio of high-assurance access control system offerings. 

Developed by STid, a pioneering manufacturer of highly secure access control technologies, the new I/O module enables European customers to meet the most stringent cybersecurity compliance regulations.

Cybersecurity capabilities

From the credential and reader to the controller and software, every element of the Genetec and STid high assurance access control system utilizes encrypted protocols and advanced cybersecurity capabilities. This ensures a secure access control deployment and provides maximum protection against the ever-evolving cybersecurity threat landscape.

The high assurance Genetec access control system, combined with the STid I/O module, is ideal for government entities, high-security industries, and essential services like Oil & Gas, Banking, Utilities, Manufacturing, and Healthcare. It offers a secure way to manage access points while ensuring sensitive information stays within the secured perimeter.

Easy deployment and safeguards

Compact design allows for easy deployment and safeguards against likely threats, as it does not store any data

Additionally, its compact design allows for easy deployment and safeguards against potential threats, as it does not store any sensitive data that could be exploited for credential cloning. This significantly reduces the risk of breaches, thereby strengthening the overall cybersecurity posture of organizations.

“Our partnership with STid underscores our commitment to providing open-standard, high-assurance access control solutions that empower organizations to choose the best-fit technology for their needs,” said Thibaut Louvet, Senior Product Groups Director, Security Center, Genetec Inc. “With this approach, our European customers and integrators can benefit from a flexible, scalable, and compliant solution that can help meet even the most stringent cybersecurity regulations."

It complies with European regulations and enables our customers to embrace the highest security requirements without compromising customization and scalability.”

The new STid secure I/O module, available in Q4 2024 through accredited members of the Genetec Channel Partner Program in Europe, will make its debut at Security Essen on the Genetec stand 8C12.
