New Mercury MP Controller Line Improves Flexibility And Cybersecurity.
New Mercury MP Controller Line — Mercury Security has announced its next-generation Mercury MP Controllers, designed to deliver enhanced flexibility and cybersecurity.
Mercury’s new intelligent controllers were designed with advanced security features to safeguard sensitive data and to help protect against evolving cyber threats. A robust cryptographic engine supported by a secure-boot CPU, crypto chip and data encryption aim to provide proactive protection against unauthorised access and attacks.
“In today’s dynamic business environment, organisations demand access control solutions that are not only secure and reliable but also flexible enough to adapt to evolving needs,” said Steve Lucas, VP of OEM Sales at Mercury Security.
“The new MP Controllers deliver on these critical requirements, empowering businesses to create robust, future-ready access control systems with increased ROI, scalability and cybersecurity at their core.”
According to Lucas, the Mercury MP Controllers provide partners and end users with the freedom to design and upgrade systems without limiting software and hardware choices, and seamlessly integrate the latest technologies with no costly rip-and-replace projects.

“This flexibility extends to OEMs, allowing them to seamlessly integrate the controllers with both on-premises and cloud-based access control environments and to support system architecture from a single door to an entire enterprise,” Lucas said.
“Meanwhile, the powerful new cryptographic engine with secure-boot CPU, crypto chip and data encryption, delivers proactive protection against unauthorized access and attacks.”
“Mercury MP Controllers deliver powerful new features such as a dual-footprint circuit design with alternate components for business continuity, a future-ready app development environment for expanded integrations and the adoption of enhanced cybersecurity best practices, like ARM Trust Zone, to protect systems.”
The MP controllers will be available later in 2024 through Mercury OEM partners. You can learn more about the new Mercury MP Controller Line here, or read more SEN news here.
Mercury MP controllers set the industry standard for open architecture. And our new generation of intelligent controllers pushes the edge even further. They’re designed for your next application — and for experiences you haven’t even dreamed of yet. Our commitment to backward compatibility and investments in development ensures a smooth transition to a future-ready infrastructure. With unmatched cybersecurity in vulnerability scanning, compliance-ready technology and a secure boot that ensures trusted code at the edge, they’re secure out of the box, and built to stay that way no matter how many threats evolve.
The MP controller runs on our all-new, next-generation firmware platform, MercOS 2.x. The firmware’s upgraded operating system, powered by a uniform build environment, drives a streamlined release cycle governed by cyber policies, with analysis and auditing at the forefront of every release. This new platform is also supported by the LP controllers with updates through 2028.
