HAMILTON, NEW ZEALAND – Global security manufacturer, Gallagher Security has today announced the release of the latest addition to its award-winning controller product range, with the release of the High Sec Controller 7000 (High Sec C7000).
Providing customers with the confidence that Gallagher will continue to meet the highest standards of countries in the Five Eyes Alliance and ensure they’re meeting their compliances with confidence and a future-proofed vision, the High Sec C7000 has been designed with all the features of the recently released C7000 Enhanced, a FIPs approved micro, and cyber security at the heart.
The High Sec C7000 also incorporates all the core functions of the award-winning C7000 Standard variant released less than 18 months ago, while expanding them in key areas to deliver customers enhanced reliability, resilience, redundancy, and enhanced cybersecurity.
Gallagher Security Product Manager, Jim Rayner who led production on the High Sec C7000 says, “While the Controller 7000 Standard already has excellent cybersecurity functionality, the High Sec C7000 goes a step further, with higher security government and commercial applications firmly in mind.”
He adds, “We’re increasingly seeing an appetite for large users who need solutions that are certified to be used on critical national infrastructure. These are not necessarily government sites, but also commercial enterprises seeking to mitigate risk to ensure business continuity. These users are wanting devices that are PIV-ready to get that extra level of security – they want to get ahead of emerging threats.”
The High Sec C7000 is built with FIPS compliant components and is PIV-ready on release to comply with U.S. Federal Government standards for new products, and it meets Class 5 standards which require monitoring of cabling between device and controller for Australia and New Zealand high security customers including government, defence, prisons, and data centres.
The High Sec C7000 is currently undergoing the relevant compliance testing for CAPSS and AACS from the UK’s National Protective Security Authority (NPSA), and FIPS 201 (US Federal Government standards).
Providing End Users with industry-leading protection against attacks on firmware in the supply chain and a platform ready for the future, Gallagher’s C7000 product range are IP based controllers that can manage all localised access control, intruder alarms, perimeter security, business automation and logic needs for an organisation.
Able to operate independently from the Command Centre server, the C7000 product range ensures predefined responses to monitored events, site safety, and continuity, and features a highly scalable system design, able to scale from single door systems to global systems with up to 10,000 controllers per server.
The release of the High Sec C7000 takes Gallagher’s Controller 7000 product range to a total of four, including the C7000 Single Door, C7000 Standard, and C7000 Enhanced variants.
