StoneLock - Experts & Thought Leaders

StoneLock®, a pioneer in the design and manufacturing of enterprise-level facial recognition identity management solutions, announces the launch of StoneLock’s IdentityCare® protection, a portfolio of biometric-based intellectual property designed to reduce business risk by eliminating trust-based systems tied to Identity and Access Management (IAM). “StoneLock offers a revolutionary solution to advance risk mitigation and secure identity and access management, while allowing enterprises to leverage up to 95% of existing infrastructure,” said Colleen Dunlap, CEO of StoneLock. Compliance-demanding environment “Our biometric platform provides scalability, versatility, and speed, enabling this next-generation technology to bring confidence to securing enterprise in a touchless and compliance-demanding environment.” StoneLock’s founding company values have shaped and directed the development of our technology" StoneLock proprietary algorithms – anchored in the StoneLock IdentityCare® technology – enables every user to leverage the most secure credential of them all – their own personal profile – in a uniquely private manner. In addition, this technology ensures privacy protections are always in place, mitigating concerns of how to manage and store data in jurisdictions where privacy protections are regulated. “StoneLock’s founding company values have shaped and directed the development of our technology, and we believe that privacy must be inherent in security,” said Dunlap. Trust-based systems “Because of our investments from day one into building trusted and privacy-centered access control, and by putting the person at the center of all that we do, we can confidently deliver security and privacy protection in access control, while leading the identity and access control industry in user experience and compliance.” With StoneLock, security administrators can solve common problems associated with identity and access management by identifying in real time challenges of trust-based systems dependent on cards, passwords, and database management. This problem extends past physical security, and the StoneLock IdentityCare solution provides confidence and control over who has access to secure facilities and sensitive areas while remaining compliant to all privacy standards. StoneLock is proud of its patented facial recognition technology used in products sold by StoneLock and products and services sold and offered by its commercial partners.

Johnson Controls, the provider of smart and sustainable buildings and the architect of OpenBlue digital platforms, is announcing the integration with Tyco Kantech EntraPass and StoneLock GO for opt-in ‘faceless’ recognition, designed to protect users by safeguarding their privacy without the use of photographs, while eliminating the need to physically touch the reader. Combining StoneLock GO with Kantech EntraPass security management software offers a completely contactless, universally compatible technology - regardless of gender, race or age - that is easily deployed and significantly reduces operational efforts. Stringent security protocols StoneLock GO offers unparalleled anti-spoofing and best-in-class False Acceptance Rate This integration will satisfy even the most stringent security protocols and will assist in mitigating threats from vulnerabilities such as weak PINs, code sharing - as well risks from surface contamination. While an access card or password is susceptible to theft or cloning, StoneLock GO offers unparalleled anti-spoofing and best-in-class False Acceptance Rate. This method of authentication ensures the people accessing facilities have been granted permission. Reliable identity confirmation Using state-of-the-art, near infrared sensors, StoneLock GO readers scan and store unique templates of enrolled users that are recognisable outside of the StoneLock System. The integration with EntraPass will provide a solution perfect for high security access control where reliable identity confirmation of user access is required. This purpose-built integration offers biometric rejections and other events natively available in EntraPass, such as forced door entries, enabling better situational awareness and offering a holistic report of what happens at the door.

StoneLock, a pioneer in designing and manufacturing of contactless and privacy-hardened biometrics solutions, announces the official product launch of the StoneLock® GO biometric reader, a next generation biometric reader redefining security and authentication of users for physical access control. It is now available for purchase by enterprises of all sizes. Launching at a pivotal time for access control in light of a growing demand for contactless and privacy-grounded technology, the StoneLock® GO is intentionally designed with proprietary, ’faceless’ recognition technology to protect users by safeguarding their privacy without the use of photographs while eliminating the need to touch. Utilising contactless technology While an access card or password can be misplaced, shared, or cloned, the inherent properties used to authenticate users through StoneLock ensure that the only people accessing a building or room are the ones who have been granted permission. “The StoneLock GO is a revolutionary biometric edge reader designed to address our customers' needs for a secure, easy to use and utterly private access control solution,” said CEO and Co-Founder Colleen Dunlap. Rounding out our complete biometric-centric access control solution when coupled with the StoneLock Gateway" “Rounding out our complete biometric-centric access control solution when coupled with the StoneLock Gateway, the StoneLock GO takes a significant leap forward by delivering exactly what enterprises need to secure their buildings, protect user privacy and deliver a completely contactless and simplified experience. We are proud to now have it in the hands of our customers at a time when protecting user privacy and utilising contactless technology is of paramount importance.” Seamless movement of biometric templates Product features include: Simplified Enrollment: Utilising a QR code or a card swipe, the StoneLock interface delivers an easy to read display that will guide users through a simple and touchless self enrollment process. Near-Infrared Technology: Using state-of-the-art near-infrared sensors, StoneLock’s readers scan and store unique templates of enrolled users that are unrecognisable outside of the StoneLock system, while making it universally compatible with all users regardless of gender, race, age or nationality. IdentityCare: The StoneLock proprietary algorithm replaces an enrolled user’s face with a mathematical representation, eliminating the need of photographs or storing images. Enterprise Ready: The third generation of the StoneLock Gateway provides a complete biometric-centric credentialing and user management solution that supports a highly, available, fully secured, seamless movement of biometric templates between StoneLock GO readers. Ease of Use: Combining security, speed and accuracy, the StoneLock GO reader is built with a user-friendly, simplified operational interface for the ultimate ease in deployment, enrollment, operation and management.
