Inside Access Control

On this episode of Inside Access Control, sponsored by the Security Industry Association, we catch up with Blair Crawford, cofounder of Daltrey. Daltrey’s mission is "to redefine how identity is used to create safer, more secure environments."  We discuss, amongst other topics, what it will take for "passwordless," to become ubiquitous.  Daltrey created a middleware that bridges the logical and physical access control industries by creating a single credential that can be used and managed. They are looking to eliminate usernames, passwords, access cards and PIN numbers from the authentication conversation altogether. Enjoy!

In this episode of Inside Access Control, sponsored by the Security Industry Association, we catch up with the leaders behind the movement, Get Security Done (GSD).

They are setting out to help Young Professionals (YP), Women in Security (WIS), and other marginalized groups within the security industry to help bring them Relevancy, Inclusion, and equitable Value.

In this fast-paced episode of Inside Access Control, Mike Maxsenti, Co-Founder and COO of Sequr, joins us to discuss what separates their business from the other cloud-based access control systems available on the market. Focused on the commercial real estate and enterprise markets, Sequr takes a unique approach by offering a "white glove approach" where they sell to the end-user by bringing along their dealer network to execute and service those accounts.  They were recently acquired by Genea to expanding their portfolio of commercial real estate technology solutions.

Gregory tells us about the companies origins, a vision of what "visitors" will mean in the future to enterprises, and an ask from the physical access control industry to partner more.
