Verkada, a pioneer in cloud-based physical security solutions, announced the appointment of four pioneers to its newly formed Federal Advisory Board.
The board, which brings together experts with extensive experience across the public sector, will provide counsel to Verkada as it continues to expand its product offering for the Federal Government.

Board members include: Kiersten Todt, former Chief of Staff of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA); Vice Admiral Timothy Szymanski (Retired), former Deputy Commander of United States Special Operations Command; Dan Mathews, former Commissioner of the US Public Buildings Service; and Robert Efrus, Founder and CEO of federal consulting firm, Efrus Federal Advisors LLC.
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 authorisation 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. 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.
