TYSONS CORNER, Va.,
April 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- MicroStrategy® Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR), a
leading worldwide provider of enterprise software platforms, today
announced that Usher™ (Usher.com), its enterprise-grade identity
and security management platform, delivers improved identity
assurance and simplified physical and logical access control by
including Usher gateways that are pre-integrated with multiple
leading physical access control systems (PACS). At the ISC West
trade show taking place at the Sands Expo & Convention Center
in Las Vegas, NV this week,
MicroStrategy will be conducting demonstrations of Usher, including
its beacon technology and converged analytics dashboard, and
providing a live video feed of an Usher physical access
implementation. Visit booth #116 on the Connected Security
Expo show floor.
"We are excited to be joining ISC West this year to showcase
Usher's physical and logical identity management and security
platform," said Michael J. Saylor,
Chairman, President and CEO, MicroStrategy Incorporated. "We will
be demonstrating Usher's mobile-centric solution and sharing
exciting news about the availability of built-in integrations with
numerous industry-leading physical access control systems."
Usher's integration with leading PACS gateways has been proven
in customer implementations with existing installed PACS.
Pre-integrated Usher gateways are now available for Datawatch,
Honeywell, Lenel, Paxton, S2, and Tyco. An Usher API adapter is
also available for custom integrations. MicroStrategy expects to
include built-in integration with additional name-brand PACS
partners in the coming months, along with the completion of key
PACS certifications.
Leveraging smartphones and tablets, FIPS 140-2 PKI, QR codes,
Bluetooth (BLE) and NFC, along with WiFi and cellular
communications, Usher is designed to deliver a safe, secure
alternative to passwords, passcards, hardware tokens and other
legacy approaches to meld physical and logical access and security
in one solution that is backed by market-leading analytics.
"We never leave home without our trusted mobile companions, so
why not take advantage of their flexibility and horsepower?" added
Saylor. "Usher provides a secure, common-use platform to satisfy
the needs of both physical and logical access control, including
security analytics. The proper enforcement of access privileges is
easy and secure, as our growing list of Fortune 1000 Usher
customers proves."
Regarding physical access, Usher:
- is a federated solution that is designed to ensure facility and
security managers stay in control of policy management and user
authorization via PACS and other existing tools;
- operates seamlessly alongside legacy passcards to support
blended environments;
- delivers full-featured analytics tools and dashboards to
optimize business operations and help detect and prevent
fraud;
- enables real-time user messaging and alerts to report
actionable intelligence and improve user safety; and
- provides a copy of all access enforcement logs to the PACS to
maintain centralized reporting.
MicroStrategy 10.3™ with Usher software can be installed and
configured on-premise in a large enterprise, including securely
interfacing with an Active/OpenLDAP Directory and a PACS, and
securely issuing badges to users, VIPs and visitors. Usher's
incorporation of optional biometric, geo-fencing, telemetry and
peer-to-peer verification features enable organizations to
implement more sophisticated programs and deliver personalized user
experiences. Usher's capabilities are backed by MicroStrategy's
world-class enterprise analytics. Follow @UsherSecurity on Twitter
