Verkada has announced the launch of its new Executive Protection offering.
Working closely with channel partners and security teams, Verkada will bring its security solutions with risk advisory services to address the unique security needs of high-profile individuals and their families.
“An unprecedented shift”
Michael Evanoff, Chief Security Officer, Verkada stated: “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.”
Evanoff concluded: “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.”
Targeting high-profile leaders
The recent attempted murder and arson targeting Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson underscores the threats high-profile leaders face.
With targeted violence on the rise over the past decade and access to personal information fuelling the danger, executive protection has become more complex and urgent than ever.
The company states that those responsible must ensure that their systems, protocols and technology evolve to meet these growing challenges.
“Instantly and act proactively”
Frank Rodman, CEO, TorchStone Global said: “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.
“Verkada bridges those gaps with a platform that’s not only intuitive but also accessible from virtually any device.
“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,” Rodman concluded.

The company states that the key features of Verkada’s Executive Protection Solution include:
- Centralised 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
