Acre Security announced the availability of the integration between its Acre Intrusion controller family and Acre Access Control.

The company said the integration connects access and intrusion into one governed workflow while also reducing duplicated user and access credential management and cross-system administration.

Acre Security said this announcement comes as critical infrastructure operators are being urged to tighten insider-threat programs and improve offboarding. CISA and other U.S. bodies have published guidance designed to show that, in practice, offboarding cannot depend on two separate systems to stay in sync.

Security systems for access control and intrusion detection have historically operated independently. This can cause issues when an employee leaves the company or their permissions change.

The integration is designed to eliminate any issues caused by the systems being separate by linking the access control and intrusion detection systems through a shared cloud infrastructure.

“Organizations today face an increasingly complex threat landscape while managing more systems and more data than ever before,” said Kumar Sokka, CEO of Acre Security. “We are not claiming to be first to ‘unify’ security tools. The difference is what we mean by unification: identity, policy, and audit that hold up during offboarding and incident response. This release is a step in our One Acre journey to give security teams operational clarity by unifying access and intrusion detection on a single, governed platform.”

The company said the platform presents security-related information in a single dashboard with a unified alarm and event history.
