Pioneering cloud-based security services is only the starting point for security’s future
To categorize Dean Drako as a driven entrepreneur would be as foolish an understatement as informing Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz that she wasn’t in Kansas anymore. A serial problem-solver, Drako has impacted Silicon Valley taking on technology and network issues for close to two decades. From aggressive cybersecurity data-storage solutions tackled by his co-founded company Barracuda Networks in 2003 to the ever-progressive Eagle Eye Networks he founded in 2012 after frustrating attempts to deploy and integrate existing video surveillance options remotely with Barracuda, Drako has been an influential presence in both the physical and network sides of the security industry.
The goal for Drako and the Eagle Eye team initially was to create sustainable third-party partners in order to facilitate the delivery of cloud-based video services, which would stream and store live and recorded video, generate notifications and support real-time analytics and eventually lead to the industry’s first cloud-based video solution with an open API. But the universe expanded in 2015, when the Eagle Eye Networks’ CEO wholly acquired Brivo, a cloud access control company, seeing an opportunity to accelerate the cloud technology shift underway in the physical security industry by integrating both access control and video surveillance into a seamless cloud solution.
