Premier Sports Network (PSN) has partnered with Alcatraz to bolster stadium security by integrating advanced facial biometrics into PSN’s Venue Security & Operations Network.

“A new standard in venue and stadium security”

Spencer Hidge, CEO and Founder, Premier Sports Network said: “We are thrilled to welcome Alcatraz into our network.

“Their expertise in biometric technologies sets a new standard in venue and stadium security.

“Partnering with a company so deeply committed to innovation and operational efficiency significantly strengthens our Venue Security and Operations Network, elevating the safety of fans, staff and athletes.”

Evolving risks and security challenges

Through PSN’s growing partner ecosystem, members will reportedly gain exclusive access to cutting-edge expertise, products and intelligence to help them stay ahead of evolving risks and security challenges.

This partnership is said to reinforce PSN’s commitment to equipping venues, stadiums and major events with the tools and knowledge to prioritise the safety of fans, staff, athletes and executives.

Alcatraz reportedly gives stadiums and venues the ability to manage constant movement across restricted zones while upholding the highest standards of safety and security.

With proven use cases in athletic venues, Alcatraz delivers access through its privacy-first facial authentication platform.

It is said to ensure only the right people enter the right spaces and keeps operations flowing seamlessly from game day to concert night.

“Privacy-first access control”

Tina D’Agostin, CEO, Alcatraz commented: “Our partnership with Premier Sports Network offers venues a smarter, more reliable way to secure spaces.

“Facial authentication enables elite access for authorised players, VIP guests and staff to enter locker rooms, training facilities, production areas and luxury suites, helping stadiums and event operators move people safely and efficiently while reducing risk.

“With PSN’s global reach, we can extend Alcatraz’s privacy-first access control system to more venues worldwide, setting a new benchmark for security built on trust, privacy and ease.”
