Devices such as cameras are usually isolated on their on VLAN. In addition just because you are on the network doesn't really mean anything if there is a zero trust security model.

Ahhhhhh that was then, this is now. Everything is on the internet unless you're actually serious about security.

Not a huge deal though, this will hopefully cause them to look at truly closed circuit or isolated cameras.

CloudFlare & Okta is insane though.

Indeed! Here's the official Okta statement (I run Developer Advocacy at Okta):

The Okta service has not been impacted by the Verkada breach. After conducting further investigation, Okta determined that five Verkada cameras were compromised. These cameras were isolated and separate from Okta’s production and company networks. Okta does not employ facial recognition technology, and there is no evidence that any live streams were viewed during the limited access that occurred. Okta employs Verkada technology only in office entrances.
