AI facial authentication

Developed by the same Apple engineers involved in the FaceID project, Alcatraz Rock brings secure facial authentication and AI to physical security with the intention to replace or augment access control badges in single-factor or dual-factor modes, in many cases eliminating the need for turnstiles and guards. The Rock prevents common access control problems like tailgating and piggybacking by recognising the attempt and immediately alerting on it.

The unbelievable popularity of face identification use in smartphones has created a demand for the same technology to be used in other applications. We started Alcatraz AI to bring facial authentication to the access control market because it provides a more secure way to provide access control as well as an opportunity for frictionless access and improved flow,” said Alcatraz AI Founder and Chief Executive Officer Vince Gaydarzhiev. “The Rock’s newest features – that help prevent common access control problems like tailgating – deliver an even more powerful security solution and enhance overall physical access control."

Secure frictionless environment

Alcatraz Rock integrates into any existing access control infrastructure making it the easiest biometric product to deploy

The Alcatraz Rock is a 3D facial authentication product that creates a frictionless and secure environment at enterprises that care about their physical security. It uses facial authentication to replace or augment badges (single and dual-factor) while sensing for tailgating, solving one of the biggest problems in the industry.

It uses AI to self-enroll employees, as well as passively sense employees to detect who doesn’t belong. Alcatraz Rock integrates into any existing access control infrastructure, badge reader, and badge type, making it the easiest biometric product to deploy while providing security that currently is achieved with turnstiles or guards.
