In this episode of Secured, Mike Monsive, CEO of ASAP Security, sits down once again with Idan Koren, CMO of Verkada, for a deep dive into how cloud-native technology is transforming school security across the U.S. with live visibility.
With Verkada now protecting over 20 million students nationwide, Idan shares why the company’s integrated platform has become the preferred solution for school districts of every size. From real-time visibility during lockdowns to intelligent alerts for vaping, bullying, and unauthorized access, Verkada’s tools are designed to simplify complex safety challenges while empowering administrators to act faster.
The conversation also explores why outdated on-premise systems are being replaced at scale, how Verkada’s School Safety Advisory Board drives product innovation, and the growing importance of features like one-button lockdowns, AI-powered air quality monitoring, and behavioral threat assessment integrations.

The episode highlights Verkada’s approach of pairing cloud-native simplicity with powerful, hybrid storage options to give schools control, compliance, and peace of mind — all backed by industry-leading 10-year warranties.
Whether you’re an educator, IT director, or security leader, this episode offers a revealing look into the future of campus safety and why cloud-first platforms are setting new standards for protecting students and staff.
