In times of rapid change, clarity matters. So does vision. At Acre Security, we’re fortunate to have both – anchored in our purpose and renewed under new leadership.
Today, we’re sharing a message directly from our CEO, Kumar Sokka. It’s a reflection on where we’ve been, where we’re going, and how we’re bringing our customers and partners along with us.
Whether you’re a systems integrator, a security leader navigating change, or longtime partner, this letter offers a clear view of Acre’s evolving mission—and the future we’re building together.
Dear Partners and Customers,
Stepping into the role of CEO at Acre Security is a true honor. It’s a moment I approach with deep gratitude—and great excitement for what’s ahead. Acre is a company with an exceptional foundation, strong momentum, and the right mindset for where our industry is heading.
Security is evolving—from passive systems to proactive platforms that connect, adapt, and protect what matters most. Across the globe—from enterprise campuses to critical infrastructure, small businesses to public institutions—security leaders are navigating more complexity, higher expectations, and a faster pace of innovation than ever before. And integrators are looking for partners who can help them deliver that transformation—without disruption.
At Acre, we see this as an opportunity—not to replace what’s working, but to connect it to what’s possible. Unification has always been at the heart of who we are. It’s where we started—and it’s how we continue to move forward.
In the past, unification meant bringing together best-in-class security technologies through thoughtful acquisition. We grew deliberately — bringing together industry leaders to build a stronger, more connected security ecosystem. Vanderbilt and RS2 strengthened our access control capabilities. Feenics pioneered our move to the cloud. TDS and SISCO to expand identity management. ComNet reinforced our network infrastructure. Each addition sharpened our expertise, broadened our portfolio, and delivered trusted, high-performance solutions used by thousands of customers worldwide.
Today, unification means evolution – connecting to what’s next. We’re helping customers bridge existing systems to the cloud securely, intelligently, and at their own pace. Whether you're on-prem, cloud-curious, or migrating steadily, Acre meets you where you are – and moves you forward without forcing a reset.
Looking ahead, unification becomes even more powerful. Through our One Acre Product Roadmap, we’re building a unified, cloud-native platform where access, intrusion, and visitor management work as fully integrated business applications.
This vision is grounded in unified design—bringing hardware, software, and services together seamlessly and intentionally. The platform is modular and flexible, so you can deploy what you need, when you need it and scale on your terms. It's open and integrated – compatible with Acre hardware and industry-standard devices, and connecting to 75+ leading technology partners. And it’s built to support the journey to the cloud, whether you're on-prem, moving incrementally, or ready to modernize at scale.
This is the promise of One Acre: a system of systems that respects your present, connects your past, and powers your future.
But here’s the truth: even the smartest tech can’t unlock the future alone. It takes trust. It takes collaboration. It takes us—working together. That’s why we’re leading with a partnership-first mindset. For integrators, customers, and technology partners, we’re focused on being more responsive, transparent, and aligned- so you have the tools, support, and insight you need to move forward with confidence.
Over the past few months, we’ve made meaningful progress: streamlining communication, simplifying access to resources, and rebuilding relationships with those who know your business best. And we’re just getting started.
Expect more flexibility, stronger support, and smarter tools—plus a product roadmap shaped around your evolving needs. Whether you're an integrator expanding your expertise or an end user ready to modernize securely and simply, Acre is here to make the journey feel not just possible, but purposeful.
In the coming weeks, I’ll be on the road with Justin Wilmas and our team to hear directly from you. We’re committed to listening, learning, and earning your confidence—every step of the way.
Thank you for the trust you’ve placed in us. We’re building something ambitious, yes—but grounded in what matters most: people, progress, and partnership.
Together, we’re one Acre. And the future is within reach.
Kumar Sokka
