Verkada, a pioneer in AI-powered physical security and operations, shared the results of its 2026 State of Cloud Physical Security report. Based on a survey of more than 2,700 IT and physical security leaders across 10 global markets, the findings reveal a growing gap between organisations with on-premise physical security systems and those with cloud-based systems.
Organisations with cloud-based physical security are using AI at 2.6 times the rate of those with on-premise systems. While 39% of organisations are still piloting AI features today, as the share of AI adoption increases, the gaps are poised to grow between organisations that modernise their infrastructure and those that don't.
