Gallagher Security has released a new generation of cyber-focused controllers, beginning with the Underwriters Laboratory (UL)-certified Controller 7000 (C7000).

Capable of managing all localized access control, intruder alarms, perimeter security, business automation and logic needs for organizations, the Controller 7000 offers streamlined upgrades and advanced cybersecurity functionality, Gallagher reports.

Building on the groundwork introduced with the Controller 7000 Single Door released in February 2023, the C7000 gives users an opportunity to leverage their hardware and firmware.

New era for Gallagher Security

“The C7000 is the first step in a new era of Gallagher’s product development and I believe this controller offers our customers limitless potential and industry-leading cyber protection,” said Jim Rayner, Value Owner, Gallagher Security.

“We’re excited by what we’ve achieved with this controller and our customers will continue finding value in the device for many years to come.” 

The company says it has been designed with longevity and cybersecurity in mind and the C7000’s hardware technology integrates security features at the silicon level. 

iMX8 System-on chip and an NXP Edgelock secure element ensure a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) and software authenticity on each device.

With a ten times more powerful microprocessor, the C7000 executes access decisions twenty-five times faster, resyncing the cardholder database in half the time.
