Unified, AI-powered security platform

SMART Access & Identity 2026 Access Control & Identity Management, Surveillance, Products & Solutions

Suprema recently announced the launch of BioStar X, its advanced unified security platform. BioStar X unifies biometric access control and video surveillance into a single, scalable platform, delivering total control, integrated monitoring, and enterprise-grade resilience.

The new BioStar X offers total control through a unified monitoring console. Administrators can view interactive maps, AI-powered video grids, and live alarms, and access logs on a single screen in real time, eliminating the need to switch between multiple systems and helping them respond to incidents faster and more intelligently.

Its advanced access control features provide high-level granularity, allowing administrators to define detailed role-based access levels, zone-based rules, and automated emergency actions such as lockdowns and fire protocols. This unified view, combined with a granular approach, streamlines security operations across large facilities and multi-site environments, while ensuring consistent policy enforcement. BioStar X also enhances AI-driven video intelligence by detecting events such as falls, intrusions, loitering, and tailgating, which enables administrators to identify potential threats and take proactive security measures.

Built on a scalable, flexible architecture, BioStar X delivers the reliability and performance organisations of all sizes required for mission-critical security operations. An open API-based architecture supports seamless integration with third-party systems, from parking management and perimeter detection to drones and robots. This openness provides organisations with the freedom to design fully interoperable security ecosystems tailored to their operational needs.

Core capabilities for enterprise operations, such as AES-256 encryption, database sharding, and multi-communication servers, guarantee business continuity and reliability across single- and multi-site environments. Designed to support thousands of devices and users, this scalable architecture allows security infrastructure to expand as it grows, without compromising system performance.

“With BioStar X, we are delivering total confidence in security operations,” said Hanchul Kim, CEO of Suprema Inc. “One unified platform combining AI intelligence, multi-credential access, and seamless scalability - enabling organisations to grow their security infrastructure without compromise. That is the future of intelligent operations. It represents our vision for the future of enterprise security - intelligent, integrated, and adaptive to continuous change.”

“Across Africa and other fast-evolving markets, security platforms must be robust, adaptable and designed to grow with the organisations they protect,” said Walter Rautenbach, MD of neaMetrics. “What stands out with BioStar X is its ability to deliver enterprise-grade security, while remaining flexible enough to support diverse environments, phased adoption and long-term expansion. This balance of strength, openness and scalability makes unified security not just achievable, but sustainable.”
