Cobalt AI Monitoring Intelligence surveys the entire environment, simultaneously analysing the 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.

Accelerating judgment, recognising threats, prioritising response

The Brivo-Cobalt solution is ideal for enterprise security management tasks such as tailgating detection. Unlike conventional systems that simply detect a non-badged entry and trigger a tailgating alarm, 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 recognise 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. Cobalt accelerates judgment, avoids a false alarm, and addresses the root cause of the problem.

The Brivo-Cobalt integration empowers enterprise security operations centers (SOCs) to move beyond basic system connections, providing the context and prioritisation necessary for effective responses.

Brivo brings a first to market

According to the company, Brivo is the first physical security provider to deliver comprehensive AI scene analysis of access control, video surveillance and other data with the ability to launch workflow solutions. The integration enables enterprise to leverage the power of advanced AI security to:

• Triage access events faster with an operator-ready workflow designed for day-to-day monitoring
• Add video context to door activity, speeding verification and reducing uncertainty
• Reduce nuisance alarm handling so operators can focus on higher-priority incidents, saving time, and improving compliance posture

“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 at 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.”

Agentic workflows ensure immediate action 

“Security teams do not need more tabs and exports. They need security systems that accelerate judgment by properly harmonising, triaging and responding to security incidents,” said Ken Wolff, CEO of Cobalt AI. “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.”
