Certification allows security platform to be operated on secure government networks

MDI announced that MDI Security Systems' ONE Unified Technology Platform has received the new DIACAP (Department of Defense Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process) certification.

The certification came from an independent third-party laboratory, giving the MDI platform approval to operate on secure government networks. With several thousand government operating locations, military bases and federal agency headquarters as customers over the past twenty years, the MDI system has remained the U.S. Government standard for unified access control, video surveillance and alarm management.

DIACAP is the required security process with which all Government information systems will receive certification and accreditation (C&A) to manage information assurance capabilities and information technology networks. Currently, without the DIACAP product certification, operation on Department of Defense information systems is, with some exceptions, not allowed.

DIACAP certification will allow MDI Security Systems to further generate new business from DoD clients and continue to support its current Defense Department customers with Unified Security and Identity Management solutions across the world, which include:

- United States Army (includes the ICIDS Integrated Commercial Intrusion Detection System) - United States Navy (includes all of US Navy Europe) - United States Air Force (numerous sites across the United States) - United States Marines (currently includes every Marine base worldwide)

MDI stated that its security command and control platform has been selected by a multitude of federal, state and local governments because they cost-effectively deliver the most flexible, reliable and advanced unified security solution available. The same holds true with commercial organizations across the nation who regularly do business with the Federal Government and DoD.

MDI companies deliver security technology products, services and training for high-security government, commercial and educational markets as well as comprehensive construction management solutions on an international scale.
