RESEARCH REPORT
2026 State of Cloud Physical Security: Australia & NZ Edition
Cost isn't what's slowing AI adoption in ANZ. Proof is.
Verkada worked with Dynata to survey IT and physical security leaders across Australia and New Zealand. More than a quarter say they don't fully understand what specific AI features actually do. Among organisations already using or piloting AI, 94% report satisfaction with what they run. The doubt sits with the teams who haven't seen it work.
This report explores which features teams in Australia and New Zealand have deployed, which ones they hold back, and how AI is changing security roles.
