AI is reshaping the physical world, and we've been building for this moment for nearly a decade. Our AI-native platform runs across more than 2 million devices globally, helping organizations move from reactive security to proactive safety, smarter operations, and real business impact. Our CEO and Co-Founder Filip Kaliszan down with Benzinga to talk about what we're seeing in the field and where physical AI is headed. Full article in our comments.

Not every student experiences safety the same way. In the latest episode of Vantage Points, Michele Gay, co-founder and executive director of Safe and Sound Schools, shares how she turned the unimaginable loss of her daughter Joey after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting into the driving force behind the organization’s simple but demanding mission: to protect every student and every school, every day. And Michele means it when she says “every student.” Too often, emergency planning is built around an average student. In reality, students have different needs, abilities, and ways of communicating, and those differences matter most in a crisis. Vantage Points is our podcast exploring the trends shaping the security industry.

Our most advanced bullet cameras ever. Powered by the latest Ambarella CV7x chip, the new lineup delivers faster, smarter analytics to help teams review footage more efficiently and respond to events faster. The hardware got a major upgrade too, with larger sensors on 4K models, improved low-light performance, and stronger optical zoom on telephoto models. Plus optional IR and white light illuminator attachments, the first time bullet cameras have supported add-ons like this. And when it came to installation and maintenance, we heard your feedback. This generation includes practical improvements like a built-in internal heater to help prevent lens fogging, an extendable visor for added protection from glare and rain, and more.

At Verkada, we are lucky to have a front row seat to the work security leaders do every day to keep people and places safe. But most of that work never makes headlines. The near-misses. The threats stopped before they escalate. The systems built in the background that most people never notice, until they matter most. The Verkada Safety Champion Awards exist to recognize these individuals and tell their stories. And today, nominations for our 4th annual awards are now open.

What does it really take to keep a school safe? This week on Vantage Points, Michele Gay, co-founder of Safe and Sound Schools, shares how she turned unimaginable loss after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting into a new model for prevention.

Security details and protective programs aren’t just for celebrities, heads of state, or public company CEOs. More tech founders and executives are investing in executive protection earlier, and more often, than ever before. With targeted violence rising and personal data increasingly exposed, the risks facing high-profile leaders are becoming harder to predict and harder to contain. Security teams and their programs are evolving to meet the moment. Our Director of Global Security, William DeWitt, shared what he’s seen change over the past decade with The Information’s Eli M. Rosenberg.
