Viscount Systems, Canadian-based designer and producer of commercial access control and security products for thousands of sites in over 30 countries, is introducing the world to a new-generation of commercial security.
The company is eliminating the need for the expensive and difficult to upgrade traditional approach to access control by applying advanced software and communication technologies to the process, allowing the deployment of access control on IT platforms. It’s an approach that most existing security companies have trouble with because it is fundamentally different, and they don’t have the needed IT product development and engineering skills, nor access and relationships with the “IT-side” of enterprise and government organizations.
Viscount, on the other hand, has a leadership and advisory team that is well-versed in these technologies, as well as the security industry in general.
• Steve Pineau (CEO) has been a visionary leader with Viscount since 1997 and anticipated the paradigm shift currently underway in the security industry. He thoroughly understands the operational, technological, and financial aspects of the business.
• Dennis Raefield (COO), past President of the Honeywell Access Systems division, which operates at a $100 million annual revenue level, and past President of Pinkerton Systems Integration, is an expert in the integration of large security systems.
• Shayne Bates (Advisory Team) has a long history as a thought leader in the unification of physical and logical access control, and has emphasized Active Directory in his approach, working closely with Microsoft in developing cloud strategy.
• Ron Martin (Advisory Team) is known throughout the security industry for his expertise in Identity Management and Physical Access Control systems.
• Paul Brisgone (Board Member) has 34 years of experience with ADT, most recently as the VP of their Federal Systems Division.
• Robert Liscouski (Board Member) was the first Assistant Secretary for the US Department of Homeland Security.
• Paul Goldenberg (Board Member) was appointed to the Homeland Security Advisory Council by Janet Napolitano and has a distinguished career in criminal justice.
