The Rock by Alcatraz AI is a simple, secure, and trusted facial authentication solution that fits seamlessly into existing access control systems.

New features announced today include:

• Admin Portal SSO Configuration: The Alcatraz AI admin platform now integrates with leading SSO companies including Microsoft Azure Active Directory, Okta, and Ping Identity to increase security and compliance at points of potential cyber attacks. These integrations are available now to all customers.
• Profile Expiration: To better ensure only authorized individuals have access to secure areas, the new “auto delete” option removes users who have not accessed the system during a timeframe defined by the security team. Profile Expiration will be available in Q1 2023.

“When I first saw the Rock in action, I immediately realized the potential for it to be used for dual factor authentication to protect high-security spaces,” said Martin Green, Manager of Security, Telecommunications & Emergency Preparedness at Baycrest. “I met with the leaders in our IT and Pharmacy departments and they agreed that the Rock would be a simple and frictionless way to protect these sensitive areas. Since the installation, feedback from the employees has been nothing but positive. We are very happy with the results and look forward to installing more in the future.”
