Vienna, VA, Oct. 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- October 11, 2022-- ARES Security Corporation announced today that they have received the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) SAFETY Act Certification for their flagship software product, AVERT® Physical Security (AVERT-PS). AVERT-PS is the only physical security modeling and simulation software to obtain DHS SAFETY Act Certification, the highest accreditation offered by DHS.
“ARES Security is proud to have met the extremely rigorous requirements for re-certification of our technology,” said Ben Eazzetta, ARES Security Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer. “The addition of the DHS SAFETY Act Certification to the existing AVERT-PS endorsements provides an additional layer of confidence to the AVERT technology. Limiting the financial liability for deployed security applications when using AVERT-PS, provides a significant advantage over the exclusive use of Subject Matter Experts or SMEs and other available technologies.”
According to the DHS SAFETY Act website, the DHS Safety Act “ensures that the threat of liability does not deter potential manufacturers or sellers of anti-terrorism technologies from developing, commercializing, and deploying technologies that could significantly reduce the risks or mitigate the effects of large-scale terrorist events.”
AVERT-PS is a unique Security Risk Assessment software used to perform Physical Security Vulnerability Assessments of facilities and provides the capability to design, visualize, quantify, assess, and optimize security posture. For many industries, the accepted norm for physical security design and optimization is through the use of SMEs. The AVERT-PS solution’s holistic and integrated approach delivers accurate, measurable, and repeatable assessments of physical security design and operations. AVERT-PS has been used by 66% of the North American commercial nuclear fleet, DOD, DOE and corporate clients.
The AVERT-PS Certification can be found here on the DHS website under “APPROVED TECHNOLOGIES list for Homeland Security”.
