Security Update

Verkada Customers and Partners,

We want to inform you of a number of security-enhancing features we have released to help our customers have more visibility and control over how their Command platform is used.

Privacy & Security Checklist

As we expand the tools for Admins to manage the security and privacy of their Organizations, we have provided an easy tool to help them manage their settings in Command. The Privacy and Security Checklist highlights many of the most important security settings, such as enforcing two-factor authentication and setting up SSO, available within Command. We log each completed checklist in the customer’s audit log and allow for easy .pdf report creation for record keeping.

Login Links

As an alternative to traditional password-based authentication, Command now allows users to authenticate via a secure, expiring link that can only be received through the user’s designated email. Two-factor or SSO requirements for authentication are still enforced with login links.

Audit Log API

We recently revamped our Audit Log to give admins a centralized view into all actions taken across their Command organization and added powerful search and filter capabilities. Building on that release, we have introduced API support for our Audit Log so that users can programmatically export logs into a third party SIEM of their choice. Customers now have the flexibility to view and slice the data in their own systems so that they can get the information they need from Verkada.

Additional Admin User Controls

We have also added controls that allow organization admins to manage a user’s authentication status. Admins can easily reset a user’s password or multi-factor authentication setup, as well as log the user out of all their active sessions, directly from the user’s profile in Command.
