CORNERSTONE® : ACCESS CONTROL

"Protect high security environments with absolute confidence and efficiency"

Lost or stolen access cards, forgotten passwords or pin codes, fraud and human error, can all diminish the protection offered by traditional security systems.

Cornerstone® Access Control Functionality

The Cornerstone® Access Control functionality Access uses the unparalleled identification capabilities of the human iris to eliminate these potential weaknesses and maximise physical access control in virtually any environment. The iris is the most unique, measurable characteristic in the human body, more so than fingerprints, voice and even DNA. So unique is the iris, that the probability of 2 irises being alike is 1 in 10 to the power of 78. This makes iris Access Control the only solution which can offer you 100% confidence in the security of your premises

In addition to providing unmatched accuracy of identification, Cornerstone Access Control virtually eliminates the ongoing costs associated with most traditional access systems. The iris is non-transferable, and cannot be lost, stolen or duplicated like prox cards or access codes. Gartner estimates that the administration of such systems costs organisations $100's per user per year.

Access Control Defined

Cornerstone's Access Control functionality allows you to manage and implement rules that determine when, where and how a particular user or group can gain access.

Time Groups and Device Groups form the main part of this functionality – you must first define a Time Group that determines when access will be granted. Similarly, a Device Group determines where and how access is granted. A device group specifies what hardware (iris scanner, fingerprint reader etc) will allow the user or group access.

Enrolment Groups are also used within Access Control to determine which users these rules apply to. Furthermore, Cornerstone incorporates an anti-passback feature which prevents one user from giving access to another.

Visitor Functionality

High risk environments such as prisons and detention centres have unique security requirements in terms of prisoner, visitor and employee management.

Cornerstone's Visitor functionality uses Iris Recognition, the most accurate human authentication biometric available, to deliver a physical access control solution designed specifically for maximum security environments.

By establishing a series of 'logical gates' which can only be progressed through in sequence, users have complete control over visitor movements. Additionally, real time reports can be generated showing exactly who is in the facility and where they are.

This functionality within Cornerstone improves visitor flow rate and reduces the administrative costs of managing visitor access via an automated reporting and alerting system.

The unparalleled accuracy of Iris Recognition also ensures the prevention of identity fraud or the establishment of multiple identities.
