ICT- IDEMIA Unlock Smarter Access

Integrated Control Technology (ICT) provides smarter security with its latest integration between enterprise Access Control and Security platform, Protege GX, and IDEMIA MorphoManager. Unifying biometric authentication and access control in one system makes access management easier, faster, and more secure than ever.

“At ICT, we believe in the power of open technology, that enables users to create the solutions they need by bringing together powerful systems,” explains Josh Baker, Product Manager, Integrations at ICT. “With the biometrics market expected to be worth $136 billion in 2031 we’re thrilled to add IDEMIA to our range of biometrics integrations, streamlining user management and enabling multifactor authentication in Protege GX.”

With the new integration using IDEMIA BioBridge, user records will constantly update and synchronize between ICT Protege GX and IDEMIA’s MorphoManager, which manages fingerprint and 3D facial templates for up to 100,000 users, and can configure thousands of biometric terminals. This integration allows ICT customers to use any of IDEMIA’s biometric devices, from touch and contactless fingerprint readers, to their face recognition series, and centrally manage the access rights for all users.

Customers can map their premises and allocate different security settings depending on the risk levels. They can then decide what type of identification devices to use in which areas, or a combination of them: multi-technology readers, fingerprint or face recognition devices. Protege GX manages the access level according to users’ rights and the security rules set for the areas. You can implement scenarios to fit the customer’s requirements, such as automatically arming and disarming an area, or only allowing access to an area if the supervisor is present.

Biometrics are an efficient and inherently secure way to identify employees as well as visitors. It simplifies the management of credentials by eliminating the needs for cards or tags, which can be lost or misplaced.

“ICT’s integration with IDEMIA unlocks smarter access and provides a scalable security solution,” says Thomas Napora, Vice President and General Manager, EMEA at ICT. “Our customers in the financial, government, and critical infrastructure sectors, will benefit from the flexibility and reliability of our intrusion and access control platform with the robustness and security of IDEMIA biometrics sensors,” Napora adds.

Josh Baker explains the ICT philosophy behind open technology and integrations. “We know time is money and inputting the same data into two systems is simply something that doesn’t need to be done in this day and age. That’s why we’re committed to continuing to deliver integrations that are easier for you to deploy and add value to your customers.”

The integration is available now; commercial and technical information is available on the ICT website  https://ict.co/products-solutions/our-integrations/biometric-systems/idemia/. The regional ICT team is available to support any enquiries.
