Charles Butler CEO,
The Security Oracle, Inc.

Dear Charles,

The positive feedback and great interest shown to your presentation at the Gallagher Cincinnati Channel Partner Conference in October 2017 convinces Gallagher channel partners that The Security Oracle (TSO)’s artificial intelligence (AI) security appliance is the best practice for empowering utilities not only to meet the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) CIP-014 Physical Security Standard but exceed the standard requirements with best practice of integration with best of breed security solutions.

As demonstrated at the 6th Power Grid Resilience Conference with TSO, Gallagher can protect legacy high value and sensitive assets with the Salto cylinder smart locks and Class 5 End of Line Module to prevent sensor tampering, disablement or substitute attack. The Class 5 ELM delivers full end‐to‐end authentication and encryption for a site’s security system by securing a weak link in most security systems (non‐authenticated sensor inputs communicating unencrypted with controllers). With TSO’s AI interface, we can store the results of cardholder revocation and certificate chain‐of‐trust checks at the Gallagher 6000 Controller, allowing a faster access decision, and one that can occur securely even when the Command Center Server is offline during a malicious attack.

Gallagher’s unique end-to-end secure architecture allows us to implement Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) FIPS-201-2 standard for federated identity management for Federal Agency access control as the only market solution with native FIPS-201-2 Access Control, Intruder, and Perimeter security management within the one product.
I am excited that Gallagher is partnering with The Security Oracle (TSO) to protect global critical infrastructures and bring awareness of our shared vision, focused on trust and collaboration with the best of breed system and service providers. By working together with game changer innovation, we are fit for the future!

Sincerely,
Kahl Betham
Gallagher Group Limited
Global General Manager – Security
