Gallagher Security Releasing Command Centre v9.40 At SAGE 2025 In Canberra November 20.


Gallagher Security Releasing Command Centre v9.40 – Gallagher Security will be bringing its newly released Command Centre v9.40 management software to Security & Government Expo, to be held at the Realm Hotel in Canberra, November 20.

According to the Gallagher Security team, Command Centre v9.40, a major upgrade that significantly enhances the capabilities of the Controller 7000 product range.  With Command Centre v9.40, Gallagher’s Controller 7000 product range, including the Standard, Enhanced, and High Security variants, now supports up to 24 doors per controller, more than doubling the previous limit of 10.  

This advancement reduces infrastructure costs and simplifies system architecture, while maintaining high performance in demanding environments. Additionally, support for HBUS readers has increased from 20 to 40, and OSDP readers from 16 to 32, enabling larger and more flexible installations.

A standout new feature is Lock Cycle Counting, which enables proactive lock maintenance to prevent costly failures and downtime.  

Also available with v9.40 is Entra ID single sign on. The Command Centre integration with Microsoft Entra ID enables secure and seamless single sign on authentication using OpenID Connect.

This integration allows customers to align with their organisation’s cloud-first identity strategy, reduce reliance on legacy AD infrastructure, and benefit from centralised access control, multi-factor authentication, and conditional access policies – all managed through Microsoft Entra. This simplifies user management, enhances security, and supports smoother migration to modern identity platforms.
