MILWAUKEE : Johnson Controls, Inc. has entered into an agreement with Quantum Secure Inc., the leader in physical and IT security identity convergence to provide the company’s SAFE Physical – Identity Management System (P-IDMS). The agreement enables Johnson Controls to offer enterprise-level physical security identity and credentials management solutions to customers, regardless of their physical access control providers.

Completing a worldwide value-added reseller agreement with Quantum Secure further enhances Johnson Controls’ global integration capabilities.
“Our partnership with Quantum Secure will broaden our capabilities to address a significant concern of large enterprises: managing access rights across disparate physical security and enterprise systems,” said Joel Lehman, vice president, fire and security for Johnson Controls. “We’re excited to be working with this emerging industry leader.”
The SAFE P-IDMS allows enterprises and government agencies to consolidate multiple, complex physical security and enterprise systems into a single identity source. Security managers can create processes and policies to grant, manage, revoke and provision physical security identities and access privileges across disparate vendors and technologies. By eliminating the need for manual processes and redundant communications, it reduces vulnerabilities across all strategic physical access points of an extended enterprise, improving security, regulatory compliance and cost efficiency.
“We are pleased to be partnering with Johnson Controls to expand the reach of our value-added reseller channel and bring our unique solutions to a broader base of customers,” said Ajay Jain, president and CEO of Quantum Secure. “This relationship paves the way for long-term customer relationships that will establish best practices for physical security and IT interoperability convergence.”
Johnson Controls, Inc. and Quantum Secure, both work with enterprises to help them comply with identity regulations and policy enforcement. For example, government organizations can use their solutions to enhance compliance with FIPS 201 credentialing requirements. FIPS 201 specifies personal identity verification standards for Federal employees and contractors.
