Unlike the original on-premises-based Alpeta, Alpeta X is a cloud-based structure that enables the integration of various businesses and solutions. With an intuitive user interface, unified monitoring, and AI-powered operations, it&#8217;s designed to manage access control, video, sensor, and HR data from a single screen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The concept of the Integrated Authentication Center, which connects physical and information security, was also highlighted in the presentation. Kim Young-min, Team Manager of Strategic Sales 2, who presented, said that many of the recent personal information leakage incidents show a complex attack pattern that combines insider and external attacks, and pointed out that the existing structure of separating information security and facility management departments is limited in response.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>UNION biometrics&#8217; proposed Integrated Authentication Center is a structure that binds multiple security areas such as PC login, access control, and document security into one system with a single biometric registration.
