Enterprise Air and Tumbleweed present jointly-developed Physical Access Control System Validation Service solution for HSPD-12 cards

2007-04-16T09:22:00.000-07:00

DALLAS, TEXAS - April 16, 2007 - Enterprise Air and Tumbleweed today announced a partnership to provide a complete, turnkey solution for performing automatic certificate checks on HSPD-12 ID cards. This solution, known as the PACS Validation Service, enables a government agency to perform automatic, daily tests on the HSPD-12 access cards used by their employees, contractors and visitors, thereby fulfilling a crucial FIPS-201 requirement.

"Government agencies need to overcome a lot of obstacles before they can benefit from the HSPD-12 card standard" said Michael Hejtmanek, CEO of Enterprise Air. "The electronic certificates on these cards make them vastly more secure; unfortunately, most of the systems that control electronic doors and gates weren't designed to perform a certificate check. So we've created a system to do it for them - one that can connect to the access control system, checks certificates automatically, and revoke cardholder privileges as needed - so that government agencies don't have to replace their existing equipment."

The PACS Validation Service works by first creating a reference list that can match certificates to badge IDs, and vice versa. The system then periodically checks every certificate in the list; if a certificate has been revoked, the PACS Validation Service revokes the corresponding badge in the access control system. From that point on, every card reader throughout the building will automatically deny access to the cardholder.

The new solution builds on the strengths of both companies' products. Enterprise Air's Physical Security Interconnect (PSI) platform provides broad compatibility with the most popular physical access control systems (PACS) in use today. Tumbleweed's Validation Authority and VA Monitoring API provide a seamless, scalable method for monitoring any number of Certificate Authorities and CA bridges, in any network configuration. Both companies' components are built to be secure, fault-tolerant, and easily configured.

"Our partnership with Enterprise Air will enhance security for all physical access systems," said Jim Scullion, chief executive officer at Tumbleweed. "Now agencies have a consolidated approach to digital and physical access credentials that will keep them safer, and ease the previous complexities of access card management."

FORT COLLINS, COLORADO - August 31, 2006 - The United States Department of Agriculture has recently deployed Enterprise Air's Physical Security Interconnect solution, using it to connect the central identity management system (IDMS) which issues ID cards to USDA employees and contractors, and to the on-site physical access control systems (PACS) that control electronic gates and doors at USDA facilities nationwide.

Enterprise Air's Physical Security Interconnect (PSI) platform is a technology solution for synchronizing any kind of data between central and local security systems - particularly systems that manage ID cards, and data about the cardholders that use them.

The deployment of Enterprise Air PSI, currently in trials, offers a way for USDA to automatically synchronize their centralized IDMS data with PACS systems at more than 500 agency buildings and locations around the country. Enterprise Air PSI extracts data records from USDA's IDMS system, which is based on Microsoft Active Directory, and transmits them to every PACS system, including personnel data, vital statistics, and card status and revocation information.

With PSI, security guards at every facility can receive up-to-the-minute cardholder data and make security clearance decisions more securely. Most importantly, PSI ensures that when cards are lost or revoked, every PACS system receives an update immediately, so that anyone holding those cards is automatically denied access from every building.

"The USDA deployment is a very powerful illustration of our PSI technology," said Michael Hejtmanek, CEO of Enterprise Air. "With PSI, the USDA is able to take a time-intensive, error-prone data entry and configuration procedure, and make it completely reliable and automatic. A USDA security administrator can update someone's badge status with a single mouse-click, and that change will be respected immediately at every electronic door and gate throughout the agency. It's an incredible improvement to their security and a great way to reduce costs."

PSI was designed by Enterprise Air to be highly secure, fault-tolerant and compatible with the widest possible range of IDMS and PACS technologies. Enterprise Air has spent years partnering with top PACS vendors and maintains an extensive library of connectors to their PACS systems, across multiple versions.

Department of Defense uses RapidCount System for Counter-Terrorism Drill

2005-06-30T11:09:00.000-07:00

NEW YORK, NY - June 30, 2005 - Enterprise Air’s RapidCount system was recently utilized in a major Department of Defense counter-terrorism drill. The drill simulated an explosion and attack near the a critical defense department facility and tested many elements of preparedness, including the Enterprise Air RapidCount Mustering solution, which has been installed at several of the involved facilities since November 2004. The purpose of the drill was to evaluate the emergency response procedures for weakness.

During the drill, the RapidCount system was used to track the evacuation of more than 500 employees, contractors, and visitors to the facility. Volunteer operators of the system were given a one minute long training on the system use and operation before beginning to scan ID cards, which tracks personnel and updates missing persons lists. These volunteers were randomly picked from the population of facility employees.

Evacuees lined up and presented their badges, stopping for a maximum of three seconds each. The lines flowed smoothly with only barely perceptible delays. Of approximately 500 badges checked, only five of the were unreadable, due to the generally poor physical condition of those badges; in these cases another volunteer simply wrote down the SSN of the person and manually entered them to into the workstation at the command center.

This resulted in RapidCount performing with 100% coverage on checked-in personnel (number of missing persons reported by the system equaled the expected number of persons missing). This exercise demonstrated the speed, efficiency and accuracy of the RapidCount system.
