Acre Security announces integration of AAC and controller family

AUSTIN, Texas — Acre Security has announced the general availability of its integration between its Acre Intrusion controller family (EVO, Gen1, AIC-1200) and Acre Access Control (AAC), connecting access and intrusion into one governed workflow.

The integration reduces duplicated user and access credential management and cross-system administration.

Acre’s announcement comes as critical infrastructure operators are being urged to tighten insider-threat programs and improve offboarding. CISA and other U.S. bodies have continued to publish guidance that frames insider threat as a cross-functional operational program, not a single-team policy, with HR, IT, and security working from shared processes. In practice, that means offboarding cannot depend on two separate systems staying in sync.

Acre’s AIC–AAC integration is built for that reality, helping prevent a common problem – two separate systems drifting out of sync and leaving old permissions behind after someone changes roles or leaves.

"Organizations today face an increasingly complex threat landscape while managing more systems and more data than ever before," said Kumar Sokka, CEO of Acre Security. “We are not claiming to be first to ‘unify’ security tools. The difference is what we mean by unification: identity, policy, and audit that hold up during offboarding and incident response. This release is a step in our One Acre journey to give security teams operational clarity by unifying access and intrusion detection on a single, governed platform.

The integration arrives as data center operators face unprecedented security demands due to the race to build AI infrastructure at a historic scale. These facilities have become high-value targets, with IBM's 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report finding that the US average cost of a physical security breach was $10.22 million.

The AIC-AAC integration is available now in EMEA and APAC.
