Data-Driven Security That Works Smarter

Traditional access control focuses on the door. Modern security requires presence intelligence - real-time awareness of who is actually somewhere.

Physical security has long been defined by barriers: locks, gates, and card readers. While these tools are essential for controlling entry, they often fail to provide the most critical piece of information during an incident: **presence intelligence**.

The Limitation of Legacy Systems

Most legacy access control systems are "event-based." They record when a card is swiped at a reader, but they have no way of knowing if that person is still in the building, which zone they are in, or if they have moved to a different area. In an emergency, this lack of visibility is a significant risk.

Enter Presence Intelligence

Unifi.id's Cortex™ platform transforms security from a reactive barrier into a proactive intelligence layer. By integrating real-time movement data with access control, we provide security heads with a live, zone-by-zone view of building occupancy.

"Security isn't just about keeping people out; it's about knowing exactly who is in, so you can protect them effectively."

Actionable Insights for Security Teams

With Cortex™, security teams can:

  • Detect anomalies in movement patterns that may indicate a threat.
  • Coordinate faster incident responses with live location data.
  • Automate occupancy-based security protocols for high-risk zones.
  • Provide verifiable evidence of security compliance for audits and insurance.

Conclusion

As buildings become more complex and threats more sophisticated, the data we collect must work harder. Data-driven security isn't just a trend; it's the new standard for protecting people and assets in the modern world.
