High-Security spaces

“When I first saw the Rock in action, I immediately realized the potential for it to be used for dual-factor authentication to protect high-security spaces,” said Martin Green, Manager of Security, Telecommunications & Emergency Preparedness at Baycrest.

Martin Green adds, “I met with the leaders in our IT and Pharmacy departments and they agreed that the Rock would be a simple and frictionless way to protect these sensitive areas. Since the installation, feedback from the employees has been nothing but positive. We are very happy with the results and look forward to installing more in the future.”
