Case Study: Virgin Hyperloop achieves centralized physical security and major cost savings with Verkada

How Virgin Hyperloop Modernizes Physical Security with Verkada

Virgin Hyperloop, a company building the first new mode of mass transportation in over a century, needed to modernize physical security across its offices and test sites. Its legacy video security system came with high monthly service fees, slow support, and no integration between cameras and access control, making incident response cumbersome. Virgin Hyperloop turned to Verkada for a more unified, cloud-based security approach.

With Verkada’s Command platform, Virgin Hyperloop centralized video security and access control, added BLE mobile unlock through the Verkada Pass app, and streamlined user management with Azure Active Directory, SSO, and SCIM. The result was an estimated $400,000 in five-year cost savings, 99% faster technical support resolution, and much faster incident investigation. Verkada also helped eliminate maintenance fees, enable quick device replacement, and simplify access for 300+ employees.
