Vanderbilt Industries

What Vanderbilt Industries does

Acre Security (operating with legacy brand roots including Vanderbilt Industries, headquartered in Parsippany, NJ) is a private global provider of unified physical security and access control technology, founded in 2012 and employing 501-1,000 people. The company serves more than 1,000 organizations worldwide, including Fortune 500 enterprises, across education, financial services, government, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, aviation, and marine verticals.

The company's core offering is a cloud-native unified security platform that integrates access control (Acre Access Control), intrusion detection (Acre Intrusion Connect), and visitor management (Acre Identity) into a single interface, supported by purpose-built hardware including the Acre Core system-on-module with an integrated Secure Element, Acre Bridge, and the Acre Smart Controller. The company retains a portfolio of legacy on-premises platforms (Access It!, DNA Fusion, ACTpro, ACT365, Omnis) for hybrid deployments and supports existing third-party panels, readers, and controllers to enable migration without rip-and-replace. Acre Intelligence, launched in 2026, layers AI-powered analytics for alarm noise reduction and anomaly detection on top of the platform.

Revenue is generated through three streams: subscription-based Security as a Service (SaaS) for cloud-delivered access control, intrusion detection, and identity management; hardware sales of controllers, readers, sensors, and panels; and professional services via Acre Solutions and Acre Care support. Pricing is quote-based with annual billing, and the go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales targeting Fortune 500 companies with a global Channel Partner Program and Technology Partner ecosystem. Named customers include Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, SAP, Palo Alto Networks, Santander, Deloitte, US Postal Service, Harvard University, and Dublin Airport Authority. The company operates across at least nine countries spanning North America, Europe, APAC, and the Middle East.
