Alcatraz, the developer of secure frictionless access control products, has added Three Factor Authentication (3FA) to the Rock facial authentication platform to deliver the ultimate in protection for high security areas and zero trust environments. “Three Factor Authentication using a biometric like facial authentication in the Alcatraz Rock platform is really one of the most secure ways to control access,” said Alcatraz Chief Revenue Officer Tina D’Agostin. “At Alcatraz, we have worked to leverage the Rock to work as that third authentication factor so that data centers, government entities, nuclear plants, the military, and similar organisations can provide the secure protection they are required to deliver.” Authenticates authorised users The Rock can be used for one, two or three factor authentication. In one-factor authentication, the Rock is the primary access control device and facially authenticates authorised users. In two-factor authentication, the Rock is used in combination with a badge reader to grant access. In three-factor authentication, the Rock is used along with two additional access control devices, like a badge reader and a PIN reader to verify employees' identities. Alcatraz Rock offers a touchless physical access control solution that works with an access control system In this scenario, the user needs to enter personal data, like a PIN or password, utilise a physical pass, like an ID badge, and provide biometric identification, like the facial authentication conducted by the Alcatraz Rock. It is the combination of these three distinct criteria that delivers 3FA, which is the ultimate in access control. The Alcatraz Rock offers a touchless and secure physical access control solution that works with any access control system. Autonomous access control It replaces or augments badging as a credential with facial recognition, 3D sensing, and artificial intelligence to enable highly secure and frictionless entry into physical locations. The Rock uses machine learning for increased security and accurate tailgating detection, while intelligently enrolling employees as they are badging in, which eliminates the headaches associated with traditional onboarding. “The addition of 3FA is an exciting enrichment to the Alcatraz Rock platform as it is our goal to deliver autonomous access control that offers security that is unrivaled and is more affordable than security guards or turnstiles,” said D’Agostin. Renowned system integrators A number of renowned system integrators and security organisations - including Johnson Controls, PSA Security Network, SAGE Integration, and TRL Systems - have incorporated the Alcatraz Rock into their solutions portfolio.

The ability to provide not just facial authentication but dual authentication (badge access control) is priceless. This is something that will become standard moving forward and we’re thrilled to be at the forefront.” Secure physical access control platform Alcatraz offers a touchless and secure physical access control platform that works with any access control system Alcatraz offers a touchless and secure physical access control platform that works with any access control system. It replaces or augments badging as a credential with facial recognition, 3D sensing, and artificial intelligence to enable highly secure and frictionless entry into physical locations. The Rock uses passive 3D sensing, machine learning for increased security, and accurate tailgating detection, while intelligently enrolling employees as they are badging in, eliminating the headaches associated with traditional onboarding. A newly-added mask detection feature offers businesses the ability to comply with increasing state-mandated mask orders and continue operations. Facial authentication access Sy Granillo, TRL Systems’ Healthcare Division Sales Manager, is eager to provide this added value to TRL customers saying, “With thousands of employees and visitors, hospitals continue to seek COVID-conscious solutions that supplement their current security systems and environments.
