Verkada has announced the launch of its new podcast series and newsletter, ‘Vantage Points.’

Series and hosts

The series is co-hosted by Michael Evanoff, Global Chief Security Officer at Verkada and former US Assistant Secretary of State and Cari Guittard, Homeland Security and Geopolitical Risk Strategist.

The series will feature conversations with high-profile voices and industry leaders to provide expert analysis and strategic commentary across the evolving security landscape.

Content will cover the dual mandate of modern security: the protection of people and places, and the use of integrated technology to drive operational efficiency.

“A vital, actionable resource”

Evanoff commented: “Keeping pace with the rapidly evolving threat landscape is one of the greatest challenges facing today’s security leaders.

“Vantage Points’ will serve as a vital, actionable resource.

“By discussing challenges and triumphs with preeminent industry figures, we will provide viewers with unique insights and strategic knowledge they can use to protect the people, assets and operations they manage.”

“Strategy, creativity and the courage to lead”

Guittard explained: “I am honored to partner with Michael Evanoff to bring these crucial conversations to the forefront.

“Between serving in high-threat posts around the world, corporate boardrooms and local emergency operations, we’ve worked at every level.”

He continued: “We’re constantly adapting to emerging threats, that’s critical. But the real challenge? Imagining what’s coming five to ten years out, where futurists and innovators are already incubating possibilities most of us haven’t considered.

“That requires strategy, creativity and the courage to lead differently, which is exactly what the leaders were sitting down with bring.

“Vantage Points connects innovations across security specialisations that don’t often intersect, allowing for gaps to be explored, a deeper understanding and fresh insights to emerge,” he concluded.

Vantage Points

Trusted by more than 30,000 customers across the globe, including 96 of the Fortune 500, Verkada says that it launched “Vantage Points” as a continuation of its mission to make people and places safer in a privacy-respecting way.
