Alcatraz receives LenelS2 factory certification

CUPERTINO, Calif. — Alcatraz, a provider of facial biometric authentication for physical access, has revealed its certification with LenelS2 OnGuard under its Open Access Alliance Program (OAAP).

Alcatraz is now certified against versions 8.3, 8.2 and 8.1. Alcatraz will be deploying this feature set to customers as part of its upcoming platform release in Q4.

Alcatraz Rock X combines advanced AI with a privacy-first design to secure both exterior and interior high-traffic entry points. By interfacing with LenelS2 OnGuard, which is already widely deployed across enterprises, customers can deploy directly into existing security operations, reducing friction, streamlining compliance and enhancing systems without adding complexity.

This is the new standard: effortless, privacy-first entry at scale for environments that demand the highest levels of trust.”
