The company’s new solution provides organisations with the tools to unify access control, video management, intrusion monitoring, automation, and other security features. It is also ideal for organisations using legacy devices, which can be linked to Genetec’s Security Centre SaaS using one of the company’s Cloudlink appliances.

Genetec said that by hosting the service in Australia through Microsoft Azure, organisations within the region will have low-latency access to a comprehensive and flexible cloud security solution.

“Australia is a forward-thinking nation that recognises the benefits of adopting cloud solutions,” said Leon Langlais, chief product officer for APAC at Genetec.

“Establishing a data centre in this location provides our clients with the confidence that their physical security systems are managed locally. Additionally, by offering Security Center SaaS on Microsoft Azure, we reaffirm our dedication to providing reliable and advanced technology as our customers make their move to the cloud.”

Australia joins Canada, the Netherlands, and the United States as a country in which Genetec has established a Security Center SaaS data centre.

Microsoft has said it is thrilled to expand its relationship with Genetec and bring its cloud technology to Australian and regional organisations.

“Microsoft is pleased to collaborate with Genetec to host Security Center SaaS on Microsoft Azure. With Microsoft’s strong stance on cyber security as well as the IRAP Assessment and cloud flexibility, Genetec can deliver enterprise-grade physical security as a service in Australia,” said Natasha Clohessy, director of partner development for Microsoft Australia.

“This announcement marks the next step in the longstanding relationship Genetec has with Microsoft. By leveraging the latest in enterprise-ready generative AI and cloud technology, we aim to solve customers’ most fundamental security challenges, enhancing the scalability, efficiency, and intelligence of security operations across various industries.”
