Acre Security, a global company in physical security solutions, announced the availability of its integration between its Acre Intrusion controller family (EVO, Gen1, AIC-1200) and Acre Access Control (AAC). The integration connects access and intrusion into one governed workflow.

Acre’s AIC–AAC integration helps prevent a common problem: two separate systems drifting out of sync and leaving old permissions behind after someone changes roles or leaves.

“Organizations today face an increasingly complex threat landscape while managing more systems and more data than ever before,” said Kumar Sokka, CEO, 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 integration arrives as data center operators face unprecedented security demands due to the race to build AI infrastructure at a historic scale.

Acre’s approach revolves around the fact that both the access control and intrusion systems are Acre platforms. That allows unification at the governance layer: one person profile, consistent permissions and a single record of changes across both systems, instead of two databases trying to stay in sync. This means a single cardholder profile governs both access permissions and intrusion arming rights.

The platform presents security related information in a single dashboard with a unified alarm and event history. Cloud-native architecture with Acre’s proprietary FlexC bi-directional encrypted communication protocol means no on-premises translation servers, no integration appliances, no additional points of failure between systems.
