Smarter Security Systems, Ltd.- Experts & Thought Leaders

Smarter Security is thrilled to announce the launch of the latest Door Detective model, the Door Detective SG, featuring groundbreaking Sidegate Detection® technology.  This next-gen addition to the Door Detective line is set to transform the landscape of access control and door security, offering enhanced capabilities that address the evolving needs of modern facilities. Door Detective SG "Smarter Security's new Door Detective SG brings an entirely new weapon to the Security Director's arsenal," said Jeff Brown, CEO of Smarter Security. "Many years ago, Door Detective® introduced the concept of securing doors while they are open." "SG stands for sidegating or side-by-side collusion attempts to sneak unauthorised people into secure areas where they do not belong. So, this is a perfect solution for extra-wide or double doors in data centres, labs, and hospitals. Unlike other door security, Door Detective SG kills this risk, which is a major win for our government and commercial customers," said Brown. Doorway-mounted device It accurately identifies single individuals, multiple persons, tailgating or piggybacking attempts The Door Detective is a doorway-mounted device that provides real-time detection and analysis. It accurately identifies single individuals, multiple persons, tailgating or piggybacking attempts, and directional violations. Sidegate Detection® technology Its unique Sidegate Detection® technology identifies side-by-side collusion attempts through single and double-door entrances, emergency exits, and other vulnerable points, making it an invaluable tool for security professionals. This proactive approach can prevent security breaches, theft, and other criminal activities that could result in substantial financial losses and damage to an organisation's reputation.

Alcatraz AI, a global pioneer in autonomous access control solutions announced it will unveil the latest advancements in frictionless, secure, private access control at ISC West 2023 in booth #30075, including new web-based Mobile Enrollment and Privacy Consent Management features of the Rock™. ISC West will be held March 28-31, 2023 at the Venetian Expo in Las Vegas. Mobile Enrollment functionality Alcatraz AI will provide demonstrations of the Rock and its newly-launched web-based Mobile Enrollment functionality which allows organisations to simplify the access control system (ACS) registration process by enabling new or current employees and visitors to enroll from anywhere through a mobile device or tablet. Administrators can provide a seamless onboarding experience for their entire workforce Administrators can provide a seamless onboarding experience for their entire workforce or individuals by sending a QR code with two-factor authentication to users, allowing them to securely enroll in the organisation’s ACS before arriving at the office. The user is then enrolled and ready to authenticate upon arrival where they simply use their face as their credential to access the facility. Privacy Consent Management Privacy Consent Management gives enterprises the ability to share the organisations’ privacy policies, processes, and data retention policies with users.  It allows them to opt in or out, in compliance with current privacy frameworks such as General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Modern biometric solution Rock also provides actionable insight to enforce compliance in zero-trust environments Alcatraz AI delivers a modern biometric solution that works natively with existing access control solutions to use a person’s face as their credential, quickly and privately authenticating users at the point of access. With industry-leading tailgate detection and alerting, the Rock also provides actionable insight to enforce compliance in zero-trust environments. ISC West  Event attendees will have the opportunity to participate in the Facial Recognition Pulse Report also open to virtual respondents at Alcatraz AI’s booth #30075. The Rock will also be on display at several partner booths, including Boon Edam (#10053), Gunnebo (#25103), Parabit (#20116), and Smarter Security (#24109).

Smarter Security, Inc. proudly announces GSA’s approval of the ReconaSense PACS Infrastructure for FICAM (Federal Identity, Credential, and Access Management), meeting and exceeding the highest level of requirements for securing government agencies and military installations. Physical access control system ReconaSense is the first Risk-Adaptive Physical Access Control System (RAdPACS) using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) Mercury hardware that is certified to validate Personal Identity Verification (PIV) and PIV-I for federal employees and contractors utilising high-assurance credentials for physical access. This development provides contextual authorisation and mission-focused management of physical interactions between authorised personnel, resources, and federal facilities for the first time. Real-time analytics ReconaSense’ open architecture and real-time analytics provide practitioners with advanced access control requirements Designed for user-definable environments, ReconaSense’ open architecture and real-time analytics provide practitioners with a standard toolkit for custom applications and advanced access control requirements. Executive VP Clayton Brown said, “In fewer words, federal facilities can control access based on the real-time situation without hiring more guards or programmers.” Proactive security postures ReconaSense is architected to provide physical security with the same interoperability, analysis, and adaptivity saw throughout the rest of the enterprise. These modern control capabilities enable the next generation of security practitioners to build proactive security postures that better protect personnel, resources, and facilities against traditional, existing, emerging, and unforeseen threats. Multi-layered physical access control “Risk-based decisions drive management everywhere except where it’s most critical: the front door,” Brown continued. Unlike legacy COTS solutions, ReconaSense provides a multi-layered and risk-based approach to physical access control management. When permissions are granted based on a combination of factors, practitioners can make personnel safer, assets better protected, and operations more resilient. “Legacy solutions have left practitioners with a false sense of awareness and control,” said Brown. ReconaSense eliminates the resulting vulnerabilities of using static access policies to manage dynamic physical environments with military-grade, risk-adaptive capabilities. Wide range of applications Smarter Security’s most recent FICAM certification of ReconaSense enables enhanced risk-adaptive security solutions for a wide range of applications across the military, government, and critical infrastructure. Applications include but are not limited to; insider threat mitigation, active shooter protection, contact tracing, unmanned entry, CBRN safeguards, agile emergency management, credential provisioning workflows, common operating pictures, smart building automation, persistent lobby screening, etc.

Security systems are vital to any company. Nowadays, however, they can also provide additional benefits to any enterprise beyond protecting people, assets and facilities. Specifically, systems that were previously focused on security can now be leveraged in new ways to benefit the broader enterprise. When this happens, the security department transitions from a ‘cost centre’ to a repository of data that can benefit the whole company, and even contribute to the bottom line. We asked this week’s Expert Panel Roundtable: How can ‘security’ systems benefit the larger mission of an enterprise?
