Lenel, a global leader in advanced security systems, is pleased to announce the OnGuard 7.4 security management platform has been nominated to compete in the 2018 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program.
OnGuard Version 7.4 delivers a fully browser-based experience to many users.
With both alarm and cardholder management available through web browsers, OnGuard users will be able to access the platform using a computer, laptop, or tablet.
The new OnGuard Monitor client provides installation-free alarm monitoring and management, allowing on-the-go viewing and acknowledging of alarms, and control of Lenel access control hardware.
The OnGuard Credentials cardholder management client has been enhanced so that it better supports segmentation, allows active directory links to be created, facilitates the printing of lists, and saves searches and preferences.
OnGuard version 7.4 has also been validated by Lenel for Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) deployment in Microsoft® Azure®, meaning little or no on-site software installation will be required for simpler applications.
OnGuard version 7.4 enables more than 1 million cardholder records on the LNL-4420 intelligent controller.
OnGuard Goes Cloud and Browser-based with Version 7.4
The OnGuard 7.4 security-management platform, can be deployed in the cloud and accessed through a web browser on a mobile device or computer.
OnGuard version 7.4 combines ease of use, mobility and simple upgrades.
When deployed under an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) model, this latest version can reduce or eliminate the need for onsite OnGuard server hardware along with the need for multiple software installations and updates.
OnGuard version 7.4 provides more choices than ever as end-user demand for cloud deployment with desktop and mobile access to enterprise security continues to grow significantly.
This version is the culmination of years of behind-the-scenes work to deliver a re-imagined OnGuard platform that is cloud deployable and can be used on a daily basis without client software installation.
Two new OnGuard version 7.4 browser-based client applications make it easier for users to manage their systems.
OnGuard Monitor provides alarm-management capabilities and OnGuard Access Manager provides access-rights management to area managers.
Improvements to the OnGuard Credentials client and OnGuard Cardholder Self Service module further expand the range of OnGuard tasks that can be completed through a web browser, including the ability for anyone in the enterprise to schedule visitors or change their own PIN number.
New Lenel Series 3 door controllers support FICAM-approved authentication of FIPS-201 U.S. government credentials and encrypted communication to readers supporting the OSDP™ Secure Channel protocol and other authentication solutions.
FICAM is a set of security disciplines designed to ensure federal systems and facilities are being used by the right person, at the right time, for the right reason.
OnGuard version 7.4 also enables more than 1 million cardholder records on the LNL-4420 intelligent controller.
Lenel has also significantly extended wireless lock support in OnGuard version 7.4.
In addition to supporting Schlage NDE/LE series of Bluetooth®-enabled locks, support for the Assa Abloy Aperio technology has also been enhanced.
These enhancements reaffirm Lenel’s commitment to customer choice, while increasing OnGuard’s value in both wired and wireless access control.
