Is ASIS Technologies access control hardware compatible with the OSDP standard?

Yes. WebENTRA controllers and KeyENTRA readers support OSDP, the SIA-developed standard published as IEC 60839-11-5, alongside Wiegand and RS485 (ADNET, CLEX) interfaces.

What encryption does SKeyMa use to protect credential data?

WebENTRA R100 Series readers combine the SKeyMa key-management framework with AES-128 and 3DES algorithms, storing secret keys in a Secure Access Module (SAM). SKeyMa is also offered as a tiered service â€” Prime, Corporate, and Private â€” using AES-256.

Why do GoENTRA and WebENTRA list different encryption strengths (AES-256 vs AES-128)?

They protect different layers. WebENTRA R100 Series reader-to-SAM communication uses AES-128 with 3DES. GoENTRA mobile credentials and the higher SKeyMa service tiers use AES-256. Both are current, supported configurations; the appropriate tier depends on deployment risk profile.

Can IBSSweb scale from a single-door installation to a multi-site enterprise deployment?

Yes. IBSSweb scales from a simple access-control-only configuration up to a global, multi-site deployment supporting up to 100,000 users, with automatic server failover for continuous availability.

Does IBSSweb have any known database limitations?

When deployed on SQL Server Express, IBSSweb is subject to that edition's database size ceiling. Administrators must perform periodic data trimming to maintain uninterrupted operation.

What are the four AI pillars inside IBSSweb v5 AI?

PULSE (Predictive System Health), RISK (Credential Intelligence), AOS (Automated Operations), and COG (Cognitive Support).

What certifications does ASIS Technologies hold?

ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification, bizSAFE Level 3, the Progressive Wage Mark, and CE and FCC certification on edge hardware.

Should an enterprise security management system be hosted on-site or in the cloud?

Either can work. On-site hosting, on a physical server or a virtual machine, gives your own IT team full control and suits organizations with highly sensitive data. Cloud hosting shifts server maintenance to a data center and suits organizations that would rather not manage that hardware themselves.

WebENTRA Flex Series IP Access Controller

The WebENTRA C400ST is the flagship controller of the new Flex Series. Engineered for the modern agile enterprise, it introduces a strategic Pay-As-You-Grow architecture enabled by the innovative Virtual Expansion Module (VEM).

The C400ST Flex is not just hardware; it is a scalable platform that optimizes Capital Expenditure (CapEx) by offering a robust mid-market entry point that can instantly scale to enterprise capacity via the C400ST-VEM software license – eliminating the need for disruptive hardware “rip-and-replace” upgrades.

Strategic Business Value

ROI & Business Continuity

Strategic capital allocation via VEM aligns infrastructure spend directly with business growth stages. Business continuity is intact even during catastrophic network outages, mitigating operational risk.

Zero-Trust & Convergence

Data protection with TLS 1.3 encryption and Secure Access Module (SAM) with Crypto Chip provides a hardened cyber posture that complies with stringent corporate IT security policies. Future-proof Hybrid-Cloud Architecture supports both On-Premise LAN and Direct-to-Cloud connectivity natively.

Profitability & Efficiency

Project margin protection with the InstaStart Wizard reduces commissioning times by up to 40%. Simplified inventory management with the VEM licensing model on a single hardware that covers the spectrum from mid-market to large corporate sites.

Core Technical Features

High-Density I/O Matrix

12 Supervised Inputs and 6 Relays onboard eliminate auxiliary I/O boards in standard 4-door deployments, saving cost and enclosure space.

Hybrid Expansion Bus

Supports mixed topology of 7 x C414ST Reader Modules and 2 x I/O Modules simultaneously on a single CAN bus.

Dual-Protocol Interface

Simultaneous 1 x RS485 (OSDP & ADNET) and 4 x Wiegand ports ensure compatibility for legacy retrofits and secure installations.

Virtual Expansion Engine

Hardware scales from 50k to 100k Users via C400ST-VEM license, fitting diverse specs with a single SKU.

Native Line Supervision

12 inputs support 4-state supervision (Open/Close/ Short/Cut), meeting high-security standards without external resistors.

Intelligent Event Logic

Programmable Event Actions cross-trigger outputs (Lift, Fire, Siren) based on logic, eliminating external PLCs.

Cyber-Secure Link

Native TLS 1.3 host communication removes the need for external VPN hardware in cloud-hosted designs.

Elevator Control Ready

Native Low-Level Interface (LLI) logic manages complex multi-lift groups without specialized firmware.
