Herta has announced the upcoming launch of Herta v4, the next generation of its platform, arriving shortly. Designed to deliver stronger security, improved performance and greater scalability, the new release marks an important step in the company’s ongoing evolution of advanced biometric technology.
Herta v4 introduces a modernised platform architecture created to meet the growing demands of today’s security and operational environments. The new version is designed to help customers and partners benefit from a more agile, secure and efficient platform, while laying the groundwork for future innovation.
Among the most significant enhancements in Herta v4 is a new communications framework that streamlines how the platform connects internally and externally. REST becomes the standard for external integrations, GRPC powers internal service communications, and MQTT remains in place for edge environments and real-time data flows. Together, these changes are designed to improve responsiveness, reduce complexity and make integrations faster and easier to manage.
Security is another major focus of the new release. Herta v4 incorporates modern authentication mechanisms and enforces HTTPS-only communications across the platform, strengthening the protection of credentials, sessions and connected services. These improvements reflect Herta’s continued commitment to building secure, enterprise-ready technology aligned with current best practices.
The new version also brings a more modular product structure. As part of this evolution, the Demographics (Marketing) capability is being moved into a standalone application, allowing for greater flexibility, improved maintainability and more focused product development.
In addition, Herta v4 features a redesigned REST API model based on modern API-first and RESTful principles. This update is aimed at making the platform more intuitive for developers, reducing integration effort and accelerating deployment for customers and technology partners.
With Herta v4, Herta aims to bring high-performance facial recognition solutions that are secure, scalable and ready for the future. The upcoming release reflects the company’s commitment to combining innovation with operational reliability in environments where performance matters most.
