Software House, part of the Security Products business unit of Tyco, the world’s largest pure-play fire protection and security company, announces the certification of its iSTAR Edge and iSTAR Ultra door controllers under the government’s Federal Information Processing Standards Publications (FIPS) 140-2 program, the most stringent standard for cryptographic products. With the certification of iSTAR Edge and iSTAR Ultra, Software House becomes the first company to offer a full lineup of FIPS 140-2 approved controllers covering a wide range of access control scenarios.
FIPS 140-2 is an information technology security validation program that certifies products and systems for use in government-run and other highly regulated industries, such as finance and healthcare, where sensitive information is collected, stored, and shared. The FIPS 140-2 requirements are among the government’s most stringent requirements for product design, documentation, and secure operations.
