Modernizing Data Center Access Security

Data centers are rapidly expanding to support cloud, AI, and increasingly sensitive workloads—putting new pressure on physical security. As facilities grow and access points multiply, traditional badge-based systems leave gaps in visibility and make it difficult to know with certainty who is actually entering secure areas.

In this panel discussion, experts from Genetec and SAFR will explore how operators can close those gaps through a unified approach that connects perimeter visibility using face authentication for verification at the door. By combining video with face authentication, teams can reduce risks from shared credentials and tailgating while ensuring that access is tied to the person —not just the credential. Attendees will also learn how to improve auditability, support compliance requirements, and strengthen security without a full system overhaul.

What you’ll get out of this webinar:

· How to simplify access points with a unified approach—combining access control, intercom, and video.

· Strategies to deploy face authentication without ripping out existing systems, including leveraging existing badge photos and automated enrollment workflows

· How to improve auditability and forensic investigations with accurate, real-time identification tied to access events

· How to reduce tailgating and shared credential risks by moving beyond badge-only access and verifying identity at the point of entry

· How to trigger real-time alerts on people and potential risks using the same frictionless access technology at the door
