What if securing buildings was as easy as your smartphone? – Blaine Frederick – ESW #382
The future is here! Imagine if you could get into the office, a datacenter, or even an apartment building as easily as you unlock your smartphone. Alcatraz AI is doing exactly that with technology that works similarly to how smartphones unlock using your face. It works in the dark, if you shave off your beard, and so quickly you don't even need to slow down for the scan - you can just keep on walking.
We don't often cover physical security, so this interview is going to be a treat for us. There are SO many questions to ask here, particularly for our hosts who have done physical penetration tests, social engineering, and tailgating in the past to get past physical security measures.
