Verkada was recently given seven physical security 'awards' based on reviews they paid reviewers for, raising questions about the meaning of such 'awards' and how they can mislead the public.
In this report, IPVM examines how Verkada compensates users for reviews online, enabling the company to receive G2 Awards and other "honors," and Verkada's track record of unethical behavior.
