Alcatraz AI, Inc. builds privacy-first facial authentication for enterprise physical access control, replacing badges, cards and PINs with the face. Its flagship edge device, Rock X, installs in-line between any Wiegand or OSDP reader and an existing access control system and authenticates people in real time at the edge without storing or transmitting a facial image. Founded in 2016 in Cupertino, California, the company pioneered Facial-Authentication-as-a-Service (FAaaS) and layers tailgating detection, 3D liveness, ONVIF video-at-the-door and SIP intercom onto a single reader, managed through a cloud or on-premises Admin Portal with native C-CURE and Genetec integrations and a customer-facing REST API secured with an x-alcatraz-api-key header.
