Genetec announces new integration with Bosch MAP 5000 Intrusion Panel Series

Genetec, a technology provider of unified security, public safety, operations, and business intelligence solutions, announced the latest deep integration to result from its enduring partnership with Bosch Security Systems (“Bosch”). Users of the widely deployed Bosch MAP 5000 intrusion alarm panels can now directly connect to Genetec Security Center through the Intrusion Manager, combining intrusion, video and access control into one intuitive interface. Facility and security managers have traditionally been required to manage intrusion settings and alarms manually through a keypad or via a separate system. This results in inefficient task switching to understand the context of an alarm, longer response times and a disconnected overview of security and operations. However, integration with Genetec Security Centre ensures operators can monitor all intrusion events on dynamic maps alongside other security data such as video footage or access control records. This provides a fuller real-time understanding of what is happening in the facility so that organisations can react faster and contribute to more efficient day-to-day operations. The integration also provides customers with additional intrusion management capabilities. This includes the ability to operate all intrusion systems from a central location, an alarm persistence feature that identifies where alarms originated, and a specialised interface to ensure operations can quickly arm specific zones while continuing to monitor the rest of the system. Furthermore, it offers the potential for customers to take advantage of other integrations and modules available within Security Center. For example, with Genetec Mission Control, users can go beyond monitoring and implement a comprehensive decision support system that ensures each intrusion event is handled in compliance with the organisation’s standard operating procedures. “This integration further deepens our long-standing and mutually beneficial relationship with Bosch, bringing true value to our joint customers and partners,” commented Francesco Serra, Vice President, Sales, Europe at Genetec. “While our existing intrusion management features have long helped customers to manage their systems more easily and to catch intruders faster, this new integration allows us to extend those benefits to new areas across Europe.” The Genetec plug-in for the Bosch MAP 500 series intrusion alarm panels is immediately available for installation through approved integrators.

Trulioo EmbedID launches new Document Verification and Facial Recognition

Trulioo EmbedID launches new Document Verification and Facial Recognition features to help small-medium sized businesses protect against fraud and financial crime New facial recognition and document verification technology will enable small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to provide the same level of online protection to their customers as multinational organisations. As part of a holistic approach to identity verification, this new technology will empower SMBs to ensure compliance, become more resilient against cyber attacks and maintain their operations during these challenging times. Trulioo, the leading global identity verification provider, today announced new document verification and facial recognition features to EmbedID, a low-code developer tool preconfigured to work with GlobalGateway API, the world’s largest identity verification marketplace. Leveraging independent data sources and integrated identity services worldwide, EmbedID helps small and medium-sized businesses verify users during the account creation process to help meet Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance requirements, increase trust and safety and mitigate fraud risks. Using EmbedID, SMBs can copy a snippet of code and paste it onto their website to automatically generate a stylized registration form that is prewired to GlobalGateway to instantly verify personal identification information. The new features enable ID documentation verification and biometric authentication for an added layer of security. This empowers SMBs to check the authenticity of government-issued ID documents and use facial recognition with liveness detection to ensure the person creating the account matches the photo on the ID document. “Taking a multi-layered approach to identity verification offers businesses the strongest defense against increasingly sophisticated bad actors,” said Rutherford Wilson, Director of Growth at Trulioo. “Adding document verification gives another layer of protection to help reduce risk, especially when combined with reliable identity verification. By enabling both of these capabilities, organizations can have increased confidence in knowing the user is tied to a real identity and that they are who they claim to be online.” Due to budget restraints, SMBs typically have limited access to bank-grade technology and security solutions, making them an easy target for bad actors. This is evidenced by research from Accenture which found that an alarming 43 percent of cyberattacks are aimed at small businesses, while only 14 percent are prepared to defend themselves. In fact, six out of 10 small businesses have no digital defense plan in place, underscoring the need for industry awareness and education, according to Keeper Security 2019 SMB Cyberthreat Study. “In an age of ongoing digital transformation, it’s essential for SMBs to be able to access the same identity verification solutions used by large organizations to protect their business and scale their company,” said Wilson. “Sadly, 60 percent of small and mid-sized businesses go out of business after an attack, and we designed EmbedID to help level the playing field to allow for accelerated innovation, customer acquisition and competition in the marketplace.” Following the launch of GlobalGateway in 2014, Trulioo discovered a gap in the market after years of successfully delivering its bank-grade identity verification solution to hundreds of organizations across the globe. With the launch of EmbedID, Trulioo is democratizing access to best-in-class fraud defense technology for organizations of all sizes. “SMBs tend to have limited IT budgets and KYC/AML compliance expertise,“ continued Wilson. “We wanted to build a solution for SMBs that provides battle-tested identity verification, reduced integration costs for IT departments, and an easy to use administrative portal so non-tech individuals can make updates as requirements change.” About Trulioo Trulioo delivers trust, privacy and safety online through scalable and holistic identity verification. Trulioo provides organizations with secure access to GlobalGateway, the world’s largest marketplace of reliable and independent data sources, to help meet Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements, reduce the risk of fraud, and increase trust and safety online. Available through a single API integration, GlobalGateway powers instant identity and business verification for 5 billion people and 330 million companies in more than 195 countries worldwide. It serves a wide range of industries including finance, banking, eCommerce, gaming and online marketplaces.
