Brivo Integrates With Cobalt AI to Deliver Advanced Security Incident Management & Resolution for Enterprise

Brivo, an AI innovator and global company in cloud-native physical security, announced an integration with Cobalt AI, creator of Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence, to deliver advanced security incident management and resolution for enterprises.

Cobalt AI surveys the entire environment, simultaneously analyzing Brivo Security Suite data — from access control, video, intrusion and sensors — to rapidly assess security threats, make judgments and take immediate, context-aware actions. Cobalt then initiates the appropriate agentic workflow, whether that’s escalation to a GSOC or emergency response, an instant message to an employee for a non-emergency or a work order to fix equipment or address a facilities problem.

The Brivo-Cobalt solution is designed for enterprise security management tasks such as tailgating detection. The Brivo-Cobalt solution evaluates all available video and access control data before taking action. For example, if a video shows that a second person entering a door is wearing a visitor’s badge and being escorted by an employee, Cobalt will recognize this as a non-tailgating threat. It will clear the alarm and send a Slack message to the employee reminding them that all guests must badge in.

“Access control data is one of the most important signals security teams have, but it is still too often trapped in event logs and manual processes,” said Dean Drako, CEO, Brivo. “With Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence connected to Brivo, security directors can turn door activity into clearer, faster operational decisions. This advanced, comprehensive integration is a game-changer for enterprise security operations.”

Ken Wolff, CEO, Cobalt AI, added, “Security teams do not need more tabs and exports. They need security systems that accelerate judgment by properly harmonizing, triaging and responding to security incidents. The Brivo-Cobalt solution’s agentic workflows ensure immediate action for real incidents and root cause analysis to fix problems, while also clearing nuisance alarms that are distracting and expensive for a security operation.”
