PRESS RELEASE
Veritone, Inc. (NASDAQ: VERI), a leader in enterprise AI and data solutions, and ZeroEyes, the creators of a leading multi-analytics weapons detection and threat intelligence platform, have officially partnered to deliver a powerful, differentiated public safety offering. This collaboration aligns two industry leaders to provide organizations with a coordinated security solution encompassing near real-time threat monitoring and comprehensive post-event analysis for live events and chaotic environments.
“Our partnership with ZeroEyes represents a critical step forward in how organizations can leverage artificial intelligence to protect their communities and assets,” said CEO Ryan Steelberg of Veritone. “By pairing ZeroEyes’ real-time, proactive alerts with Veritone’s advanced post-event analysis, we’re equipping security and law enforcement professionals with the actionable intelligence to help manage every stage of an incident.”
While traditional security measures often rely on reactive protocols, the integration of ZeroEyes and Veritone’s offerings provides a more complete lifecycle of threat management. ZeroEyes threat detection and intelligent situational awareness software layers onto existing digital security cameras. If a gun or knife is identified, images are quickly shared with the ZeroEye Operations Center (ZOC), a U.S.-based, fully in-house operations center, which is staffed 24/7/365 by specially trained U.S. military and law enforcement veterans. If these experts determine the threat is valid, they dispatch alerts and actionable intelligence – including visual description, weapon type, and last known location – to law enforcement and school administrators, often in a matter of seconds from the moment a weapon is detected. Following an event, Veritone’s advanced AI platform accelerates post-event analysis, helping agencies and security teams swiftly process data for investigations and evidentiary needs.
Central to this partnership is both companies’ commitment to human-in-the-loop analytic deployment. In situations where rapid decision-making is critical, human verification plays an essential role in reducing false positives and helping alerts stay actionable. By combining ZeroEyes’ human-verified threat detection and situational awareness with Veritone’s post-event AI capabilities, the partnership gives security teams valuable intelligence at critical points before, during, and after an incident.
“When responding to an active assailant, time and situational awareness are critical, and both are often in short supply,” said Mike Lahiff, CEO and cofounder of ZeroEyes. “Our goal is to give school administrators and their law enforcement partners more of both, providing actionable intelligence that supports a faster, more informed response. By partnering with Veritone, we can extend that value beyond the immediate threat and give customers additional tools to support post-event analysis and investigation.”
ZeroEyes’ patented solution has been recognized by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security as an effective anti-terrorism technology and holds the distinct honor of being the first video analytics technology to receive full SAFETY Act Designation. The platform’s expanded capabilities now also include knife detection, further broadening its ability to proactively identify and mitigate acts of violence.
Through this bi-directional referral agreement, both Veritone and ZeroEyes will leverage their respective networks to introduce clients to a more holistic, robust approach to physical security and incident management.
