Today, Verkada offers Federal Government-Grade models that are FIPS 140-2 validated, and, earlier this month, announced FIPS cameras, and visitor management solution Verkada Guest, are supported in AWS GovCloud. Verkada's intentions are to proceed with FedRAMP authorization across all product lines, and the launch of these Government-Grade models is a first step.
"Our approach to building has always been first to deeply understand the needs of our customers," said Filip Kaliszan, Co-Founder and CEO at Verkada. "Our new Federal Advisory Board is critical to helping us continue to do that in a thoughtful way when it comes to engineering our products for the evolving needs of federal customers."
Verkada has more than 22,000 customers globally, and has, from the very beginning, served the public sector as a security partner to schools, municipalities, fire and police stations, and more. Today, its solutions help protect more than 13 million students across the country, and more than 11 million of America's healthcare, manufacturing, retail, and hospitality workers.
