Iris ID, the pioneer in iris recognition technology for 25 years, enthusiastically debuts the all new IrisAccess® iA1000 concurrent iris and face recognition access control reader.  Piggybacking off of key core technology and the success of the IrisAccess iCAM 7S Series, the iA1000 is the access control solution of the future. The iA1000 with two configurations, is equipped with capabilities to suit varied budgets as well as diverse access control needs. Key certifications of iA1000  The iA1000 meets key certifications, can be used in a variety of use cases and comes with the new iA-MS™ Depending on which configuration is chosen to secure operations, the iA1000 is equipped with a touchscreen LCD, Wi-Fi and PoE capabilities, OSDP and Wiegand protocols, and card reader that supports multiple card formats as well as mobile credentials. The iA1000 meets key certifications, can be used in a variety of use cases and comes with the new iA-MS™, a centralised web-based application for managing iA1000 devices. Impact caused by physical breaches As the access control market steadily grows in market value so does the requirement to have smart and reliable solutions that reduce network vulnerabilities, protect individual privacy and physically safeguard actual infrastructures and buildings.  While most organisations focus on cybersecurity, access control deserves just as much attention and consideration as the financial impact caused by physical breaches remains significant. Security requirements The same study concluded that almost ten percent of all data breaches come from a physical breach The 2023 IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report identified the average cost of a data breach from a physical security collapse is $4.1 million.  The same study concluded that almost ten percent of all data breaches come from a physical breach, and it could take up to 198 days to trace the breach back to the physical security violation and 69 additional days to repair the damage caused. Failure to meet these security requirements can also result in additional breaches and increased maintenance costs. New and unpredictable ways in the security industry  “As technology continues to push the security industry in new and unpredictable ways, Iris ID prides itself with innovating Advanced Identity Authentication solutions for this market," says Mohammed Murad, VP, Iris ID Systems, Inc. "Traditional methods of providing access control such as access cards, pins and keypads and even legacy biometrics no longer offer the protections that are needed to secure physical locations. Our solutions are one step in the right direction of ensuring highest-level of security that can grow with organisations and does the most to keep bad actors at bay.”

A shift toward touchless devices during the coronavirus pandemic has been a boon to the biometrics sector. Another factor in the recent increase in use of biometrics is lower prices, which are a symptom of a maturing market and of new technology capabilities. Increasingly, integration of biometrics with access control and other security systems is expanding use cases and sales numbers. For additional insights, we asked this week’s Expert Panel Roundtable: What are the new trends and opportunities with biometrics (facial, fingerprint, iris and/or voice)?

The concept of how security systems can contribute to the broader business goals of a company is not new. It seems we have been talking about benefits of security systems beyond “just” security for more than a decade. Given the expanding role of technologies in the market, including video and access control, at what point is the term “security” too restrictive to accurately describe what our industry does? We asked the Expert Panel Roundtable for their responses to this premise: Is the description “security technology” too narrow given the broader application possibilities of today’s systems? Why?

Terrorism is in the headlines all over the world. After any such incident, many of us in the physical security market find ourselves asking: What could we have done to prevent it? Assessing risk and preventing catastrophes before the fact are part of our market’s DNA; and yet, too often the random nature of terrorist attacks and their targeting of public places leave us unsure of anything anyone could have done. How can we translate the benefits of our industry’s products into real-world solutions that can prevent terrorist attacks? We presented the question to this week’s Expert Panel Roundtable, and received a variety of interesting responses. Specifically, we asked: How is the recent rise in terrorism impacting the physical security market (e.g., higher demand, different mix of products, etc.)? How should the physical security market respond? What solutions are needed?
