Verkada launches executive protection offering

SAN MATEO, Calif. — Citing recent violence against visible public figures, Verkada is launching its new Executive Protection offering.

Working closely with channel partners and security teams, Verkada said it will bring its enterprise security solutions with risk advisory services to address the security needs of high-profile individuals and their families.

“In today's increasingly connected world, we've seen an unprecedented shift in the kinds of threats that face high-profile individuals. These new threats require new tools and technologies to protect leaders wherever they are – whether at home, in the office, on the road, or in between,” said Michael Evanoff, chief security officer at Verkada and former assistant secretary for the U.S. State Department. “Verkada's platform delivers the most flexible, scalable solution that can help security teams shift into a proactive posture and respond to threats in real-time.”

Verkada stated that the recent attempted murder and arson targeting Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson underscore the threats high-profile leaders face.

“Executive protection often requires coordination between multiple stakeholders — from private security teams and family members to law enforcement. Yet, these groups are frequently siloed, relying on disconnected systems or methods of communication,” said Frank Rodman, CEO of TorchStone Global, a risk mitigation and security advisory firm and Verkada partner. “By enabling real-time sharing of live video feeds, person-of-interest alerts, and historical footage, Verkada empowers our teams to collaborate instantly and act proactively.”

Key Features of Verkada's Executive Protection Solution:

• Centralized Residential Security Management
• AI-Enabled Threat Detection
• Sharing Live Camera Feeds or Footage
• Integrated Access Control and Guest Verification
• Discreet Panic Buttons
• Portable Security for Special Events
