Extending Security Beyond the Fence with AI-Powered Virtual Perimeters

Dan Goslee, Head of Federal at Verkada Federal, discusses how agencies are redefining perimeter security by using AI to create virtual perimeters around critical infrastructure and expansive environments. He explains that AI-enabled devices deployed at the edge can detect activity in designated digital zones and quickly notify security personnel without requiring extensive physical infrastructure or large security teams.

Goslee highlights examples supporting military installations and large public events, where cloud-native technology enables military organizations, law enforcement, and other partners to share information in real time. He also explains how portable security capabilities can rapidly establish situational awareness in remote environments.
