Advanced Cloud Physical Security Platform Enhances Safety for High-Profile IndividualsSAN MATEO, Calif., April 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Verkada , a leader in cloud-based physical security, is launching its new Executive Protection offering. Working closely with channel partners and security teams, Verkada will bring its leading enterprise security solutions with risk advisory services to address the unique 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."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. With targeted violence on the rise over the past decade, and access to personal information fueling the danger, executive protection has become more complex and urgent than ever
