Security Evaluation

1. Device Security

Criterion Value Proof Comment
Known hardware tampering None — Sealed dome camera; no documented hardware tampering.
Known vulnerabilities Rare — No public CVE, but a hardcoded/exposed 'Super Admin' account enabled the 2021 breach. Source: www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-03-11/verkada-workers-had-extensive-access-to-private-customer-cameras
Prior attacks Rare — The March 2021 breach exposed ~150,000 live feeds (Tesla, Cloudflare, jails, hospitals). Source: www.theverge.com/2021/3/9/22322122/verkada-hack-150000-security-cameras-tesla-factory-cloudflare-jails-hospitals
Updatability Very common — Cloud-managed with automatic, frequent firmware updates. Source: www.bbc.com/news/technology-56342525
Category Score Score: 2 / 3

2. System Security

Criterion Value Proof Comment
Authentication with other systems Partial — Cloud/SSO based access, but the leaked Super Admin account bypassed normal authorization. Source: www.theverge.com/2021/3/9/22322122/verkada-hack-150000-security-cameras-tesla-factory-cloudflare-jails-hospitals
Communications Encrypted with up-to-date encryption — All camera traffic to the Verkada cloud uses modern TLS.
Storage Encrypted with up-to-date encryption — Footage stored in the encrypted Verkada cloud; the camera has no local SD storage.
Category Score Score: 2 / 3

3. User Authentication

Criterion Value Proof Comment
Account management Basic — Centralized account management exists but was over-permissioned (100+ staff had broad access).
Authentication Basic — Supports SSO/SAML and two-factor authentication.
Brute-force protection Exist — Enterprise-grade login throttling and account lockout.
Event logging Access event logged — Audit logging records who accessed which camera feed.
Passwords Require change after setup with complexity requirements — Enterprise password policy requiring complexity and rotation.
Category Score Score: 2 / 3
