FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 2026
Cloudastructure Bolsters Leadership Team With
Appointment of Fortune 100 Security Veteran as Chief
Security and Operations Officer
With over 30 years of enterprise security leadership, including experience overseeing one of the largest corporate security programs in America at UPS for two decades, Ed Burnett further strengthens the Company’s AI-driven surveillance and remote guarding platform
PALO ALTO, CA — May, 11 2026 — Cloudastructure, Inc. (“Cloudastructure” or “the Company”) (Nasdaq: CSAI), a leader in cloud-native AI surveillance and remote guarding, today announced the appointment of former VP of U.S. Security and Global Fraud Investigations at UPS, Ed Burnett, as Chief Security and Operations Officer (CSOO). Mr. Burnett brings to Cloudastructure’s senior leadership team and directly to the front lines of AI-powered crime deterrence one of the most decorated security careers in American enterprise security.
Burnett spent more than two decades in senior leadership positions, most recently as the Vice President of U.S. Security and Global Fraud Investigations at UPS, where he set industry benchmarks in logistics security, fraud investigation, and enterprise risk management. In his most notable case, Burnett led the largest joint UPS and law enforcement investigation in company history, coordinating 17 police jurisdictions simultaneously and earning California’s Investigation of the Year Award in 2019. Before UPS, he served as a Military Police Investigator with the United States Army.
Burnett joined Cloudastructure three months ago as Executive Advisor, working directly with the leadership team before transitioning permanently into the CSOO role.

"The future of security is AI that never blinks paired with leadership that understands exactly how criminals think. When I saw what Cloudastructure had built, the deterrence rates, the real-time response, the depth of the platform, I knew this was where I wanted to be. When you combine that technology with operators who know the threat landscape, you move from surveillance to genuine deterrence, delivered with a white-glove approach that puts client partnership at the center of everything we do." — Ed Burnett, Chief Security and Operations Officer, Cloudastructure, Inc. |
|
"Cargo theft is costing U.S. supply chains up to $35 billion a year, and incidents are up 36% in the first quarter of 2025 alone. Ed has spent his career understanding exactly how these criminal networks operate. Pairing that expertise with Cloudastructure’s AI platform is exactly the response this industry needs." — James McCormick, Chief Executive Officer, Cloudastructure, Inc. |
As CSOO, Burnett will lead operations, remote guarding teams, and deployments, and help guide technology development to meet the evolving demands of enterprise security. He will also advance strategic relationships within Cloudastructure’s growing logistics, transportation, and enterprise markets — including the company’s Master Service Agreement with a major U.S. truck-parking operator and the company's expanding presence in distribution centers, cargo yards, and commercial properties nationwide.
The Company reported 271% year-over-year revenue growth in 2025 and was recognized with the 2025 AI Breakthrough Award for Image Processing. With Burnett’s appointment, Cloudastructure enters this next chapter with the technology, talent, and the operational leadership to help define what enterprise security looks like in the AI era.
