AlertEnterprise Inc., globally renowned physical-logical security convergence software company, has announced the addition of facial recognition technology (“FRT”) to its Visitor Management Kiosk software.

Visitor Management Kiosk software

AlertEnterprise Visitor Management Kiosk software with FRT delivers frictionless security to organisations that are looking to improve security and enhance customer experience with a powerful first impression at check-in. The new FRT feature provides fast and accurate on-site identity verification and makes it easy for an organisation to add facial image analysis to the check-in process for employees, visitors, contractors, and guests arriving on-site.

If a visitor has checked-in previously to a location and has authorised the AlertEnterprise Visitor Management Kiosk App to capture a photo of their face, the software instantly recognises them and allows the visitor to bypass the standard registration process. The visitor can then quickly complete check-in by confirming their visit details, providing a signature and printing out their visitor badge.

Identity and access management When combined with Enterprise Guardian software, Visitor Identity Management software with FRT provides a complete physical identity and access management solution

When combined with Enterprise Guardian software, Visitor Identity Management software with FRT provides a complete physical identity and access management solution for all employee, contractor, vendor and visitor identities from a single source. By leveraging FRT, the system allows organisations to move away from first/last name dependency and can help identify cardholders that may attempt to or have acquired multiple badges. In an upcoming release, the feature will integrate with watch lists to detect people who may try to enter a facility with different names.

We believe that frictionless secure access is an essential component to the vision of the Intelligent Enterprise,” said Yogesh Ailawadi, Senior Director, Product Management at AlertEnterprise. “As part of our complete physical identity and access management solution, Visitor Management with FRT further enhances corporate security through advanced technology and automated active policy enforcement.

Facial recognition technology

Designed with GDPR data storage compliance in mind, the new FRT feature ensures that no actual images of faces are stored on client networks, meaning visitor identities remain secure and safe.
