MercOS Firmware

Built for Robust Security

MercOS 2.1 is engineered from the ground up to tackle evolving threats. Developed under Mercury’s Secure Software Development Lifecycle Policy (SSDL), it integrates advanced static and dynamic analysis security testing (SAST/DAST), software composition analysis (SCA) and continuous scanning for a swift response to Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs). This cohesive security framework ensures the highest level of protection for your systems.

Part of an Agile, Collaborative Lifecycle

At Mercury, we believe in a forward-thinking approach that fosters an agile product lifecycle. This is crucial for staying ahead of security threats and meeting customer needs. MercOS 2.1 represents a critical element of this ongoing process, developed through close collaboration with partners and end users. This iterative, multi-year strategy enables more frequent, targeted updates, ensuring your systems always operate at peak performance.

Enhanced Compatibility and Longevity

MercOS 2.1 supports both the existing red-board Mercury LP and the new black-board Mercury MP Intelligent Controllers. LP controllers benefit from enhanced security and a lightweight MQTT-based host API that aligns with IoT standards. The unified build environment guarantees functional parity across enterprise systems, ensuring seamless operation whether you use LP or MP platforms.

Rest assured, Mercury is committed to providing continued support for LP controllers through 2028. This long-term stability ensures your investment is protected and gives you confidence in the future of your access control system.

A Glimpse Into the Future

MercOS 2.1 forms part of the broader 2.x platform, introduced in November 2023. Continuous updates will enhance both firmware and hardware capabilities. The MP controller line further expands on Mercury’s legacy of open architecture, cybersecurity advancements and integration options.
