"We're on a growth trajectory as organizations around the world
realize the need to take a proactive posture to security in both
the physical and cyber realms," said Tormod Ree, Vaion CEO. "Joel
brings a unique vision and an incredible depth of experience
working with the federal government on both video and cybersecurity
solutions, a huge asset both for our team and our customers."
"Vaion is setting the precedent for intelligent video security.
I've worked in this industry for nearly three decades, and the only
thing that is constant is change," said Joel Brunson, CEO, Vaion
Federal. "Organizations worldwide but especially in the government
sector, need to rethink their approach to security. Vaion's ability
to detect and address incidents through AI and machine learning,
combined with our agility to meet the unique needs of different
government agencies, is industry-shifting."
Brunson joins Vaion from video conferencing and collaboration
company, Acano which was acquired by Cisco. Before Acano, Brunson
led teams at Black Box Video, Tandberg, and Avaya. Brunson has a
passion for creating and developing successful business teams to
meet and exceed targets consistently. In his new position, Joel
will oversee both physical and cybersecurity solutions aimed at
protecting federal government agencies from internal and external
threats.
"Joel has a track record of exceeding market expectations
because he's raised the standard when it comes to understanding
each unique customer's needs. This is especially important in the
federal sector where security takes on a whole new meaning," added
Ree.
"Vaion offers a solution the federal market absolutely needs,"
added Brunson. "The more warning we can give security professionals
tasked with protecting the public, the better the outcome."
Vaion's Philosophy: Prevent Threats from Escalating
Vaion addresses the need for a scalable, intelligent video
security solution across markets-federal government, retail,
commercial, healthcare, and education. By detecting and addressing
threats in real-time, Vaion allows security professionals to
prevent threats from escalating. This is made possible through the
use of computer vision and a neural network (machine learning) that
mimics the human brain's ability to recognize patterns and
categorize images. With Vaion's end-to-end security solution,
organizations can address security issues as they unfold rather
than merely reviewing recorded incidents after the fact. And when
necessary, Vaion provides the tools to find 'what matters' in
recorded video quickly. A vital capability to expedite effective
investigations with minimum resources.
In the federal government sector, taking a proactive approach to
security is no longer an option; it is a necessity. Just consider
the reactive alternative for government agencies like the TSA who
protects airline passengers and employees or the DOJ who runs the
Bureau of Prisons or the CISA who protects critical national
infrastructures, to name a few. All of these agencies are tasked
with one thing-protecting the employees, buildings, records - and
the citizens they serve. Vaion allows these agencies to be vigilant
and alert to pre-empt threats rather than just respond. Watch our
webinar recording describing how to transform your video security
using real-time data to keep your building, records, employees-and
the civilians you serve-safe.
