Why Unified Security?
Ava helps organizations address cyber-attack problems with ML-powered cyber and video solutions
Ava is the only provider, under one roof, to give organizations full visibility into potential multi-faceted hybrid (cyber/physical security) attacks.
Ava helps organizations address this growing problem with machine learning-powered cyber and video solutions that give security professionals access to quality, timely data, and insights that can be shared across the security organization for actionable insight.
Smarter and safer decisions
“My role will be about bringing the concept of unified security to life for our customers and partners."
"Our success will require partnering with our channel to deliver real-time insights that empower our customers to make smarter and safer data-driven decisions for the benefit of all of us, whether that’s organizations, consumers, or citizens,” added Rick.
An intelligent video security solution
