October 2019 News & Events, Information Security

Advisor Advanced (ATSx500A Series) security systems with the UltraSync cloud security solution recently obtained the 3 Shields CNPP NFa2p electronic security certification for a complete system, the highest level available.

The NFa2p standard includes a certification of robustness to cyber-attacks.

In a connected world, security systems are increasingly connected to IP broadband and cellular networks for alarm reporting, remote configuration and mobile connectivity. Protecting these communication systems from cyber-attacks is critical. The entire security system environment, from control panel and software to communication protocols should benefit from maximum protection.
