MERON Makes Public Introduction at GSX With PIAM Technology

A new entry in the cyber-physical security marketplace making its first public introduction, MERON is demonstrating a groundbreaking new solution for Physical Identity and Access Management (PIAM) branded PIAM+ here at GSX 2024 in booth 1955. MERON is launched by industry veterans Sharad Shekar and Imran Rana with the mission to usher in the next generation of AI-driven driven PIAM and Security Incident Management that overcomes the longstanding shortfalls of legacy solutions.

MERON PIAM+ leverages the latest advancements in data science, artificial intelligence (AI) and micro-services architecture to deliver a seamlessly integrated, highly versatile and comprehensive PIAM and Incident Management application for on-prem or cloud deployment. Meron is cloud agnostic and runs on cloud infrastructure like Amazon, Oracle, Microsoft, Google, IBM, Alibaba, etc.

“During the course of several consultation projects with leading companies over the past few years, it became quite clear that organizations with large numbers of employees and/or contracted workers are seeking a better, more robust PIAM solution that goes beyond legacy solutions,” said Sharad Shekhar, Principal at MERON. “This led to many discussions with longstanding partners and developers around the globe over the course of last two to three years, and the creation of MERON technology last year and public release of our new PIAM+ solution which we are debuting here at GSX 2024.”

MERON PIAM+ delivers a comprehensive approach to managing identities over their entire lifecycle and securing physical access. It fully integrates identity verification, access control, incident management and security policies to ensure only authorized individuals can enter specific areas they have clearance to enter. This innovative PIAM+ solution streamlines the process of granting, monitoring, and revoking access, enhancing security and compliance while reducing the risk of unauthorized entry. By centralizing and automating these functions, MERON PIAM+ helps organizations protect their assets, ensure regulatory compliance and maintain more secure environments.

MERON PIAM+ distinguishes itself from legacy applications by integrating advanced AI technologies, automation and analytics to provide enhanced security, efficiency, and adaptability. The unique PIAM solution employs modern microservices-based platform architecture – a revolutionary approach that breaks down applications into smaller, independent services, each focused on a specific function resulting in unlimited scalability with improved system maintainability, support and upgradability.

“We have already engaged with several large organizations who have expressed extreme interest in MERON PIAM+, and we are currently collaborating with select high-profile systems integrators with customer bases of large organizations,” continued Shekhar. “We are also now looking to further expand our business network, as well as our team of identity and access management technology and sales experts to further support the launch of MERON PIAM+.”
