Convergint Aligns With Safetrust to Expand Secure Mobile Access

SCHAUMBURG, Ill. — Convergint Technologies, a global leader in service-based systems integration, announces a global master reseller agreement (MRA) with Safetrust, a provider of secure and virtual credential solutions.

The MRA will enable Convergint customers to modernize their existing physical access control systems, provide mobile capabilities to their evolving workforce and enhance building and resource intelligence across the enterprise.

As companies continue to accelerate their security initiatives, use cases for secure mobile access extend far beyond just opening the door. Convergint’s customers may now deploy Safetrust solutions to store unlimited credentials in one secure location, modernize their legacy readers, migrate to touchless access, and generate building occupancy analytics to become a relevant factor in helping meet the strategic initiatives of the company.

“Enhancing our sensor and mobile solutions portfolio has been a strategic initiative,” says Amir Shechter, executive director, digital transformation, Convergint. “We are delighted to be partnering with Safetrust and bringing their innovative technology to our growing portfolio and to our customers worldwide.”

Safetrust technology is said to extend the useful life of access control by providing intelligence at the edge and a transition path away from expensive and proprietary vendor card products to interoperable industry standards such as DESFire EV3, Global Platform and OSDP SC, as well as mobile credentials ensuring security at its core.

“The synergy between Convergint and Safetrust, along with the knowledge and innovation both bring to the technology space, will strengthen our reach to customers globally,” says Jason Hart, founder and CEO, Safetrust. “Now, more than ever, companies are looking for seamlessly converged secure badges and mobile solutions, and for consistency in the way these services are delivered, two important offerings both Convergint and Safetrust aim to provide.”

Top 10 Security Stories From October 2021: China Ban Gains Steam, Vivint Countersues ADT

October saw its fair share of legal issues and acquisitions. This month, lawsuits involved home security companies, a gunshot detection provider and even a media company. Vivint Smart Home is seeking retribution for the lawsuit ADT filed against it last year that alleged Vivint salespeople go to ADT customers’ homes, get them to sign Vivint contracts and install the company’s alarm systems in their homes under false pretenses. Vivint had requested a motion to have that lawsuit dismissed, but when the judge denied the motion, Vivint launched a countersuit claiming it is in fact ADT that is deceiving and stealing its customers.

Though not a lawsuit, Dahua and Hikvision continue to feel pressure from the U.S. government as it considers a new measure that would make it imp

According to the report, Ellison’s office announced that home security companies Skyline Security Management and Safe Home Security have agreed to their cancel contracts with customers in and around Stearns County who purchased their systems from door-to-door salesman Gary Harvey. “Door-to-door salesmen and their employers are in the business of trust-building,” Ellison said in a statement. “They know they need to have your trust to sell you their products, particularly expensive products like security systems that are supposed to keep your home safe. When that trust is betrayed, it’s emotionally and financially painful. I appreciate Skyline and Safe Home taking the right step in canceling these contracts while my office does what we can under the law to hold M
