FREMONT, Calif., November 14, 2023 — Identiv, Inc., a global digital security and identification leader in the Internet of Things (IoT), has been honored with a 2023 Security Vanguard Award by Endeavor Business Media (EBM) Security Group. This accolade is awarded to trailblazers in the security industry, recognizing Identiv’s innovative security project at Caritas Village in Santa Rosa, Calif.
Caritas Village, managed by Catholic Charities of Santa Rosa, is a comprehensive project aimed at supporting the unhoused in Sonoma County, California. Identiv partnered with integrator Blakeslee Electric to develop a holistic security solution that served the needs of a diverse group of stakeholders, from facility employees and residents to the wider community.
Identiv’s award-winning project included the implementation of its robust, trusted Hirsch Velocity Security Management System, Hirsch Mx Controllers, Velocity Vision Video Management System (VMS), uTrust TS Readers, and uTrust TS Cards. This integrated, end-to-end solution delivered an exceptional level of security while preserving the Village’s ethos of openness and care.
The advanced system offers real-time incident response, enhanced audit capabilities, and a user-friendly access management interface. The success of this project is a testament to Identiv's commitment to security that harmonizes with community values, providing a safe haven without intruding on the sense of community.
"We are thrilled to be recognized by EBM Security Group with a Security Vanguard Award," said Michael Taylor, VP Global Sales, Identiv. "Our engagement with Caritas Village showcases how our security solutions can transform communities. This award underscores our dedication to innovation and our commitment to making the world safer through technology."
Jennielynn Holmes, CEO, Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Santa Rosa, stated, "We're extremely happy with Identiv’s technology and their team’s support. We really feel confident that we can provide the Caritas Village residents with a very safe environment in their time of need. That wouldn't have been possible without Identiv and all of the work they did to plan and help us install and implement these safety and security features for the benefit of our community."
