Physical Security That Speaks IT: Using Verkada’s Native and Custom Integrations
Leah Friedman
Head of Content
Running security cameras and access control systems as standalone appliances creates blind spots in your IT infrastructure. Verkada's native integrations plug your physical security data directly into your existing IT stack, from IAM and SIEM platforms to workflow automation tools. Need something custom? We have extensive API documentation. Monitor physical security in the same dashboards where you track everything else. Why? Because we’re already seeing tighter alignment between IT and physical security teams, and these tools help align your IT and physical security infrastructure.
Managing physical security shouldn't mean juggling extra credentials or working around vendor portals that don't integrate with your automation tools. Physical security can work just like the rest of your IT stack: governed by your IAM policies, integrated with your incident response workflow, and managed through your existing network tools.
Verkada's security platform plugs into many of the IT tools you already own. Your Okta policies govern access to doors and cameras and your Splunk dashboards track security events. You've already built a robust IT stack—Verkada’s integrations are designed to help your physical security play by the same rules.

Authenticate & Automate: Identity and Access Management (IAM) Integrations
The core of modern cybersecurity architecture is robust identity and access management. Verkada's IAM integrations transform how organizations manage user access, enabling directory synchronization and automated provisioning that aligns with Zero Trust security principles. These integrations are designed to reduce manual user management, reduce security risks, and help ensure that access permissions remain consistent with organizational policies across all systems.
Okta – Automate user provisioning and de-provisioning, ensuring access control remains consistent with organizational policies.
Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) – Enable seamless authentication and identity synchronization across IT environments.
Google Workspace – Sync user data for streamlined access management and security monitoring.
OneLogin – Enhance user authentication and enforce security policies across the enterprise.
JumpCloud – Centralized identity and device management for seamless security integration.
LastPass – Enhance security through integrated password management and MFA enforcement.
Duo – Strengthen security with multi-factor authentication (MFA) and secure access solutions.
Google Authenticator – Enable time-based one-time password (TOTP) authentication for enhanced login security.
RSA – Provide secure authentication and identity verification.
Alert & Respond: Workflow Platform Integration
Security threats demand coordinated responses across multiple teams—from IT and facilities to operations and executive leadership. Verkada's collaboration integrations embed security alerts and insights directly into your team's existing workflows, reducing the need to monitor separate systems. By bringing security information to where your teams already work, these integrations can reduce alert fatigue while ensuring critical security events receive proper attention.
Microsoft Teams – Receive real-time security notifications directly in Microsoft Teams for improved incident response.
Slack – Get instant security alerts and updates in Slack to facilitate team awareness and quick action.
Office 365 – Integrate security insights into Office 365 applications for improved visibility and response capabilities.
Monitor & Analyze: SIEM Platform Integration
Security operations demand comprehensive visibility across both physical and digital domains. Verkada's integration with Splunk bridges this gap by enabling security teams to correlate physical security events with cybersecurity data, creating a unified view of potential threats. This helps convert isolated security data into actionable intelligence, enabling more effective threat detection and incident response.
Splunk – Aggregate Verkada event data into SIEM dashboards to detect anomalies and potential security threats.
Deploy & Manage: Network Platform Integration
IT teams managing both physical devices and network infrastructure need unified visibility and control. Verkada's integration with Extreme Networks automates device provisioning and simplifies ongoing maintenance, letting IT teams deploy and manage security devices using their existing network management tools.
Extreme Networks – Simplifies Verkada device provisioning, ensuring seamless onboarding across enterprise networks.
