"We are thrilled to participate in the Datacenter Forum Helsinki and demonstrate our advanced solution for data center physical security," said Bodil Nilsen, Director of the Nordics, UK, and Europe for Alcatraz AI. "Our facial biometric access control technology offers unparalleled accuracy, security, and convenience, ensuring data centres can protect their critical assets while delivering a frictionless user experience."

Utilisation of facial biometrics technology

Unlike proximity cards, a person's face cannot be shared or lost, providing an extra layer of protection

Alcatraz AI offers a cutting-edge solution that enables organisations to establish a zero-trust environment that is flexible and scalable. The company's facial biometric access control seamlessly deploys with existing access control systems, providing multi-factor authentication at the same speed and more securely as single-factor solutions.

The utilisation of facial biometrics technology in data centres offers accurate identification, enhanced security, and safety. Unlike proximity cards, a person's face cannot be shared or lost, providing an extra layer of protection. By adopting Alcatraz AI's facial authentication solution, data centres can eliminate plastic proximity cards, reducing environmental impact and ensuring a durable security solution. With simplified enrolment, privacy compliance, and detection of tailgating incidents, Alcatraz AI safeguards critical assets and sensitive information within data centres.

Key features

Alcatraz AI's all-in-one biometric device, the Rock revolutionises physical security in data centres. Key features include:

  • More secure single-factor and multi-factor authentication at the speed of a single-factor, offering increased security and efficiency without adding friction for end users.
  • Real-time detection and alerting of tailgating incidents, coupled with eye-level video, enables rapid and accurate identification of unauthorised individuals.
  • Native implementation with existing systems, allowing for easy deployment on any access control and video management system without the need for infrastructure replacement.
  • Privacy Consent Management, providing individuals with an opt-in policy that promotes transparency regarding the use of their facial biometric data, and empowering employees to protect their privacy by deciding whether to use their face as their credential.

Alcatraz AI's booth

Nilsen will participate in the live session “Navigating the Top CIO & CTO Challenges in Today's Volatile Landscape” from 9:30 to 10:30 am in Hall 1. The show will discuss security and how to safeguard critical data while complying with ongoing cyber and physical security assessments. Attendees can visit Alcatraz AI's booth to experience the future of data centre physical security firsthand.
