Secured Presents: West to East with Jean-Baptiste Milan and Carter Kennedy

Welcome to Secured Presents: West to East, a 45+ episode series filmed live at ISC West where we bring the biggest voices in security into real, unfiltered conversations. In this episode, we’re joined by Jean-Baptiste Milan, Global OEM Sales Manager at HID, and Carter Kennedy, CEO of Soloinsight. We dive into: The collaboration between HID and Soloinsight to bring biometrics into the CloudGate platform How CloudGate acts as a governance layer for physical identities Why biometric technology is now mature enough to support reliable automation How facial verification and document identification can create a more frictionless experience The balance between security, privacy, and convenience through one-to-one matching And why the industry may need to define itself through physical identity governance, not just cameras, locks, and hardware This conversation explores what happens when biometrics, identity, and access workflows come together to answer bigger questions about who is in a building and what they should be able to access. The episode also touches on Invisible Doors, a book exploring physical identity governance failures and the business value of solving them. This series is about more than trends. It’s about capturing an industry in motion. Let us know in the comments: Is physical identity governance the next evolution of access control?
