As financial institutions navigate a rapidly evolving threat landscape and increasingly strict regulatory requirements, robust, adaptive security solutions have become required.

Leveraging Verkada’s hybrid-cloud security platform transforms how banks, credit unions, and other financial entities approach safeguarding branch locations, ensuring both premises safety and regulatory compliance.

About the solution

Financial institutions confront challenges managing security across multiple branches. These include complex coordination, meeting PCI compliance standards (such as role-based action and 90-day video retention), and ensuring consistent video and system quality, all of which can impact the ability to detect and respond to threats effectively.

Convergint-provided products and services are only one part of this multi-layered approach, will not detect or prevent all threats or solve every risk, and should not be your sole method of security or safety.
