Case Study: Large Home Goods Retailer strengthens data center security with Alcatraz Rock

Safeguarding Data Centers with the Alcatraz Rock

Large Home Goods Retailer needed a better way to protect sensitive data center, IDF, server room, and network cabinet areas while meeting multi-factor authentication requirements. The company had been using fingerprint readers alongside its badge system, but they were difficult to manage and raised hygiene concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Alcatraz replaced the retailer’s fingerprint readers with the Alcatraz Rock, a touchless facial authentication solution that adds secure, two-factor biometric access control to existing systems. The rollout was completed quickly, with the retailer able to get the solution up and running in less than an hour, and it improved security, usability, and safety while helping detect tailgating and protect critical information assets.
