The enterprise security landscape is undergoing a transformation, as traditional analog systems are replaced by cloud-based digital solutions. This shift is driven by AI and the growing demand for real-time monitoring, data analytics, and remote access. In 2024, global spending on security and risk management reached $215B, fueled by societal changes and heightened concerns about crime.
At the same time, the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) has accelerated the adoption of smart devices, creating a vast network of interconnected sensors and cameras that enhance security and streamline operations through centralized management and analysis.
The growing need for enterprise security and advancements in physical security technology have together led to an increased demand for integrated security solutions.
Verkada is meeting this demand with enterprise security systems that integrate modern hardware with intelligent, cloud-based software. Its subscription-based platform delivers fully integrated video security, access control, and physical security solutions, positioning the company at the forefront of the evolving security market.
