CUPERTINO, Calif. — Alcatraz, a developer of facial biometric authentication for physical access, just participated in the GSX 2025, where the company showcased the latest enhancements to its flagship product, Rock X.
The company also revealed its certification with LenelS2 OnGuard under its Open Access Alliance Program (OAAP). LenelS2 OnGuard is an enterprise physical access control solution and 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.
“LenelS2 OnGuard is one of the most trusted access control platforms used globally,” says Tina D’Agostin, CEO and co-founder of Alcatraz. “By bringing Alcatraz facial authentication into that ecosystem, we’re not just offering an added layer of security, but redefining what access control can be. This is the new standard: effortless, privacy-first entry at scale for environments that demand the highest levels of trust.”
Alcatraz Rock X Complements Today’s Access Control Systems
Alcatraz’s platform is designed to work natively with all major access control systems to eliminate the need for custom integrations to allow organizations to deploy biometric authentication without disrupting existing infrastructure the company asserts.
At the same time, Alcatraz continues, it recognizes that some enterprise environments have more complex workflows and compliance requirements. To support these needs, Alcatraz is extending its Rock X platform to interface with LenelS2 OnGuard, enabling additional automation, streamlined operations and enhanced configurability. This allows Alcatraz to expand its platform’s reach without compromising its plug-and-play simplicity.
Building on the LenelS2 OnGuard announcement, Alcatraz recently rolled out a wave of new platform features and other upgrades. Delivered through Alcatraz’s unique Facial Authentication-as-a-Service model (FAaaS), these new enhancements are said to demonstrate how Alcatraz products continuously improve with ongoing updates, strengthening security, streamlining operations and supporting privacy compliance.
