Verkada is a cloud-based enterprise security company that offers an integrated suite of video surveillance, access control, alarms, and sensors. Founded in 2016 by Filip Kaliszan, Benjamin Bercovitz, James Ren, and Hans Robertson, the founding team brings experience in building enterprise software and hardware products. Robertson previously co-founded Meraki, a cloud-managed networking company acquired by Cisco for $1.2 billion.

Verkada's products are designed to simplify security management for over 20,000 customers across diverse industries. The company's hardware offerings, including security cameras, access control devices, and environmental sensors, integrate seamlessly with its cloud-based Command software platform. This subscription-based model provides customers with a user-friendly, scalable solution that eliminates the need for on-premise servers and complex installations. Verkada's focus on ease of use has earned it a 9.5/10 customer rating.

However, Verkada has faced challenges related to data security. In 2021, a group of hackers breached Verkada's systems and gained access to live feeds from 150,000 surveillance cameras, exposing a significant vulnerability in the company's security measures. Despite this setback, Verkada has continued to grow, raising $444.3 million in funding and expanding its workforce. For prospective employees, Verkada offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge security technology and help shape the future of enterprise security.
