Mercury Security highlighted a new addition to its industry-defining controller platform—the Mercury embedded application environment, an open platform that enables technology partners and OEMs to develop and deploy custom applications directly on Mercury MP Controllers. This platform brings real-time logic processing to the edge to reduce latency, increase availability, and enhance system redundancy. 

By shifting intelligence closer to the door, the platform improves system responsiveness, minimizes network dependency, and enables advanced operational features. It also simplifies interoperability, seamlessly integrating controllers, IoT devices, elevators, readers, locks, and more. 

For access control and IoT ecosystem stakeholders who need a secure, scalable, and customizable platform, the Mercury embedded application environment delivers flexibility—supporting third-party app integration and enabling custom business logic to run directly on the controller. Instead of just linking a reader to a management system for access decisions, Mercury controllers act as a nexus, integrating multiple systems and devices for broader functionality and stronger performance.

At ISC West, Mercury is showcasing the broad capabilities of its embedded application environment in collaboration with key launch partners and their certified apps: 

• ASSA ABLOY HES KS210 OSDP Access Control Server Cabinet Lock: With the Mercury KS210 device app, OEMs can now quickly & easily add support for up to 32 KS210 OSDP server cabinet locks without the need to build custom integrations.
• HID pivCLASS: Enables pivCLASS support on Mercury MP Intelligent Controllers, adding PKI-based authentication at the door to meet security standards required in government facilities and other regulated industries.
• SecuriThings: The SecuriThings platform provides real-time security and operational efficiency to improve system availability, organizational compliance, and cyber protection—while reducing costs and streamlining future planning.
• Viakoo: This SaaS application maintains system health across CPS environments, such as physical security. System reliability is ensured with real-time monitoring, vulnerability identification, lifecycle data, and other critical details. Viakoo takes action to remediate vulnerabilities with firmware updates, password rotations, and certificate management.
