Veritone and Armada Announce Strategic Partnership to Deliver Mission-Critical Edge Intelligence for Public Safety, National Security, and Live Events

Key Terms

edge-to-enterprise data fabric technical

An edge-to-enterprise data fabric is a unified system that connects and manages data across all parts of an organization, from remote locations (the "edge") to central business systems (the "enterprise"). It ensures that information flows smoothly and consistently, allowing for faster decision-making and better insights. For investors, it matters because it can lead to more agile operations and improved competitiveness in a data-driven world.

cjis-aligned regulatory

"CJIS-aligned" means that a system or process follows the standards set by the Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Security Policy, which is a set of rules designed to protect sensitive law enforcement data. For investors, this alignment indicates that the system maintains high security and privacy standards, reducing the risk of data breaches and ensuring trustworthy handling of critical information. It signals a commitment to security best practices, which can be important for confidence in technology providers.

data tokenization financial

Data tokenization is the process of converting sensitive information into unique, non-sensitive symbols or codes, called tokens, that represent the original data without revealing it. Think of it like replacing a person's name with a nickname that only the system can link back to the real name. This helps protect private information from unauthorized access, making it safer for investors to handle and store data securely.

tokenized media assets financial

Tokenized media assets are pieces of digital content—like songs, videos, images or streaming rights—that are converted into unique digital tokens on a blockchain to record ownership, provenance and any attached rights or revenue shares. For investors, they turn creative works into tradable, divisible assets much like shares in a company, potentially creating new revenue streams, clearer ownership claims and faster trading, while also introducing market and regulatory risks.

IRVINE, Calif. & AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Veritone, Inc., a global leader in enterprise AI and intelligent data workflows, and Armada, the hyperscaler for the edge, today announced a strategic partnership that unites the power of edge-based compute and sensing with enterprise-grade artificial intelligence to transform how public-sector agencies and commercial content owners capture, analyze, and monetize their data.

Veritone and Armada announce partnership

Together, Veritone and Armada will deliver the industry’s first fully integrated Edge-to-Enterprise Data Fabric, capable of ingesting high-volume audio, video, drone, and sensor streams in the field—even in disconnected environments—and transforming them into actionable intelligence, operational workflows, and monetizable digital assets in real time.

A Partnership Built for the Next Era of Intelligence

The collaboration pairs Armada Edge Platform (AEP)—including Galleon modular data centers—with Veritone’s aiWARE™ AI operating system, trusted across federal agencies, state and local law enforcement, major media companies, and global live-event producers.

The result: a unified offering that spans the full lifecycle of mission-critical data—from sensor capture, to AI-powered analytics, to secure dissemination, to long-term discovery and value realization.

“Armada extends the edge. Veritone turns that edge data into intelligence,” said Ryan Steelberg, President & CEO of Veritone. “Together, we are delivering a seamless pipeline from remote sensor capture to actionable insight and operational impact—whether for national security, public safety, or global live-event ecosystems.”

“At Armada, we bring compute and connectivity to the front lines,” said Dan Wright, Co-Founder and CEO of Armada. “Veritone enhances our offering by transforming raw edge data into immediate intelligence and enduring value. This partnership raises the bar for what agencies and enterprises can do with their data, especially in austere, contested, or high-velocity environments.”

Transforming Public Safety, National Security, and Intelligence Operations

For Federal and State & Local agencies, the joint offering creates a next-generation operational stack capable of:

• Real-time situational awareness using drones, mobile sensors, body-worn cameras, and fixed infrastructure
  
  
• Rapid intelligence generation via Veritone’s cognitive engines, object recognition, speech analysis, translation, and anomaly detection
  
  
• CJIS-aligned digital evidence workflows, including automated redaction, discovery, and case management
  
  
• Resilient field operations powered by AEP and Galleon modular data centers in disconnected or low-bandwidth environments
  
  
• Secure data governance spanning field, edge, cloud, and command-center environments

This combined capability helps shorten the path from incident to insight—from hours or days to minutes—and enhances officer safety, mission planning, and investigative throughput.

Revolutionizing Media, Entertainment, and Live Event Production

In commercial markets, the partnership enables broadcasters, content creators, sports leagues, live-event operators, and rights-holders to:

• Capture drone, multi-camera, and sensor-rich content from any venue or outdoor location
  
  
• Process and analyze high-bandwidth streams at the edge with ultra-low latency
  
  
• Generate real-time highlights, metadata, translations, scene detection, and fan engagement insights
  
  
• Automate asset management and distribution via Veritone’s Digital Media Hub
  
  
• Unlock new monetization pathways—including micro-content licensing, data-driven fan activations, and tokenized media assets

Together, the companies bring a modern, end-to-end AI production pipeline that elevates creative workflows while opening new revenue channels for rights-holders.

Fueling the Emerging Data-Token Economy

Veritone and Armada will also explore edge-based data ingest and processing for cost effective data tokenization of real-world assets, allowing organizations to convert high-value audio, video, and sensor inputs into AI-ready digital tokens for long-term discovery, training-data licensing, and operational reuse.

This aligns with Veritone’s expanding VDR (Veritone Data Refinery) strategy and opens new pathways for commercial and federal agencies and enterprises to treat data as a renewable, monetizable digital asset class.
