Cyber security start-ups investment falls from $3.1b to $31m in 5 years

According to data from the Atlas VPN team, there have been 78 new cyber security companies founded in 2020, the majority 35% originating from the US. Cumulatively these companies have managed to raise over $31.6 million in funding year-to-date, with one single company, called Beyond, alone raising $21 million.

According to Atlas VPN, only 15% of cyber security start-ups launched in 2020 secured funding. However, three companies alone collected nearly 96% ($30.3 million) of the total amount of investments.

A cyber security company with the second biggest investment is Sevco Security, which raised over $6.7 million in May of 2020. Also, in the list of top three cyber security start-ups in terms of funding is Soc.OS. It received more than $2.5 million in investments in July this year.

The number of new cyber security start-ups is shrinking each year, whilst the amount of cyber incidents is increasing and cyberattacks are becoming more sophisticated.

Atlas VPN found historical data showing that in 2015 there were 490 cyber security companies launched. Together the start-ups that year raised over $3.1 billion in investments.

The year 2016 saw a slightly smaller number of new cyber security companies. The launch of new start-ups in the cyber security field decreased by 0.8%, with 486 start-ups launched that year. The total amount of funding allocated to those start-ups, however, dropped in half, from $3.1 billion to $1.6 billion.

In 2017 the number of new cyber security start-ups plummeted again by 0.8%. There were 482 cybersecurity companies founded that year, which raised more than $1.3 billion in total — 17% less than in 2016.

The number of new cyber security start-ups dropped by more than a fifth in 2018 compared to the year before. A total of 382 cybersecurity companies were launched that year, which collected over $847 million in investments. The amount of funds invested in the cyber security start-ups also dropped by 35% compared to 2017.

Last year saw a 46% decrease in the launch of new cyber security start-ups. There were 207 of these types of companies founded and together they raised close to $229.5 million in investments — 73% less than the year before.

Finally, this year’s cyber security market has welcomed 78 newcomers — the number has shrunk by 62% compared to last year. However, 2020 is not over yet; hence we can expect the numbers of cyber security companies to still increase slightly.

Google finalises deal to buy 6.6% of ADT

ADT has issued and sold in a private placement to Google 54,744,525 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the company, for an aggregate purchase price of $450 million. The shares of Class B common stock issued to Google represent approximately 6.6% of the issued and outstanding common stock of ADT on an as-converted basis. The Company expects to use the net proceeds for further growth initiatives and to reduce debt over time.

The original announcement made at the beginning of August set out the main details of the investment, which will see a close working partnership between Google and ADT, giving Google access to ADTs 6.5 million customer base and its skilled technicians, through which the two will offer Google’s Nest series of products. As a result, Google’s Nest hardware combined with ADT’s professional installation and monitoring service will create a fully integrated set of devices, software and services for the secure smart homes market.

According to Reuters, the investment gives ADT the backing of a high-profile technology partner and broadens its services business and in return, Google strengthens its presence as it competes with Amazon.com’s AMZN.O Ring and Boston-based Simplisafe, among others.

Blake Kozak Principal Analyst, Smart Home and Security Technology, Omdia, recently published an analysis on the potential short and long term implications of this move and he believes that this equity investment from Google could be the differentiator the industry was looking for to bring a tech company together with an alarm brand. He suggests that this new partnership could be the initial step that disrupts the smart home and alarm monitoring markets.

ADT expects to offer certain Google devices to its customers beginning this year and to expand the integration in 2021. The complete ADT + Google helpful home security solution will utilise a secure platform for a seamless experience that prioritises privacy and interoperability for greater customer peace of mind and choice.

Each company will also commit an additional $150 million, subject to the achievement of certain milestones, to be used for co-marketing, product development, technology and employee training to advance the partnership. These investments are expected to accelerate ADT’s capital efficient growth and drive broader consumer awareness and deeper product innovation for both companies in the fragmented yet rapidly expanding smart home market

Securitas acquires Stanley’s electronic security business in 5 countries

Securitas is acquiring Stanley Security’s electronic security businesses in Germany, Portugal, Switzerland, Singapore and India. The acquisition is aligned with Securitas’ ambition to double the size of its security solutions & electronic security business and expands Securitas’ electronic security footprint and capabilities. The purchase price is estimated to 54 MEUR.

The entities to be acquired provide an integrated electronic security offering to their clients – from design to installation and from maintenance to alarm monitoring – based on a complete portfolio of advanced security solutions such as access control, intrusion, video, fire and integrated systems. The business has approximately 580 highly skilled employees operating in five countries through 20 branch offices out of which 11 are located in Germany.

The business also has two alarm monitoring centres, one in Germany and one in Portugal. Total sales of the in-scope business amounted to MUSD 85 (MSEK 748) in 2019, mainly driven from installation sales, recurring monthly revenue and maintenance services.

“We are very excited to welcome the electronic security specialists from Stanley Security to Securitas. Through this acquisition, we add significant electronic security expertise and deepen our capabilities in Germany, Switzerland and Portugal, while also establishing our first electronic security presence in Singapore and India. This is an important step forward to deliver high-quality electronic security services to our clients in key markets,” says Magnus Ahlqvist, Securitas President and CEO.

Entry-level access control? Add digital PIN locking to any interior door with this easy-to-install security handle

London, October 2020 – Code Handle® brings award-winning design and digital security to any private door which requires a cost-efficient way to keep people out. Powered by digital PIN technology from the global leader in access solutions — so you can forget about carrying multiple keys — a Code Handle door lock ensures private spaces remain private and casual thieves are locked out — of retail stockrooms, sensitive offices, treatment suites, customer toilets and more.

Code Handle is the perfect entry-level locking handle. With a built-in digital PIN keypad, it upgrades security at any private interior door facing a public space, without keys or ugly push-button mechanical locks. You simply swap the existing door handle for a Code Handle. With the Master Code, administrators can issue up to nine different 4- to 6-digit PINs to authorised users — and amend or cancel PINs whenever they choose.

Easy to retrofit, a Code Handle adds digital PIN security without spoiling the look of an interior space. Installation requires just two screws: you keep the existing cylinder or lock and simply change the handle. Fitting is easy enough even for the inexperienced.

To power the lock’s digital security, standard batteries slot into the handle itself. There is no need to run cables to the door or to connect the lock to the mains — nor to fit any electronic access control system. Batteries typically last 30,000 lock/unlock cycles before replacement; an LED indicator on the handle blinks to tell you when it is time.

Code Handle is simple to install on most internal doors and can be used across various different business verticals, including healthcare and retail environments, where ASSA ABLOY have equipped many premises. A physiotherapist in Spain, Fylab secures various doors in their facility with Code Handle locks. Belgian retailer Patio have used these PIN locks at low-security doors such as staff rooms and toilets. Thirst, a design agency in the UK, have installed them to protect IT room and boardroom facilities with great success.

The benefits of smart design
Code Handle builds on years of ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions experience in security handle design. Its brushed steel and chrome exterior looks just like any stylish door handle, and will blend with the interior of every modern office building.

It locks itself when you close the door and allows simple, code-free exit from the inside. Code Handle is robust, too: fire certified (EN 1634) and with a verified lifetime of at least 100,000 operations.

Hikvision announces integration of HikCentral and Nedap AEOS Access Control Solution

Hikvision, an IoT solution provider with video as its core competency, has announced the integration of its HikCentral video security platform with the Nedap AEOS Access Control Solution to provide single-platform operations for users who maintain both Hikvision and Nedap systems.

The integration, via Nedap AEOS Connector, provides event information, alarms, and person-data synchronization of access control and intrusion events between AEOS-connected hardware and HikCentral. This integration enables operators to manage doors, detectors and intrusion areas, as well as visually verify and handle alarms in HikCentral Clients.

“With the integration, security personnel are able to greatly enhance their situational awareness and control in large installations,” said Jens Berthelsen, Global Partner Alliance Manager of Hikvision. “The integration leverages the Hikvision Optimus framework to ensure a long lifespan for the installation. It also makes future upgrades of both systems seamless and simple – without compromising the continuous operation.”

“I feel very proud having Hikvision onboard our Technology Partner Program. Hikvision skipped half-measures and created a very complete integration for both Access Control and the Intrusion part,” said Wesley Keegstra, Integration Manager at Nedap. “Linking events and alarms to HikCentral creates a single-platform solution to visualize the status of a security system with the corresponding video recordings. Besides visualizing a system, users can also control it. Whether they open a door or lock one, or remotely arm or disarm an intrusion area.”

The Nedap AEOS Connector is developed under Hikvision’s latest Optimus framework, which enables systems integrators to easily tailor integrations to individual customers’ needs, building suitable workflows and event-to-action protocols. This is based on a very intuitive and easy-to-use graphical user interface that does not require coding.

The Optimus and Nedap AEOS Connector are available for HikCentral version 1.6 and AEOS version 2019.1.5 and are ready for deployment now.

At this Dutch university, Aperio delivers integrated, wireless access control more cost efficiently than wired locks

London, October 2020 – At the InHolland University of Applied Sciences, a rolling project to upgrade access control at all locations has been ongoing for several years. Typical of any large educational setting, the tension between remaining open and accessible on the one hand — and securing people, equipment and data on the other — is a critical factor.

More than 500 Aperio wireless door locking devices have now been deployed at 7 separate InHolland campus sites. These battery-powered locks provide tested and trusted protection for the university’s most important areas and rooms, including offices and exam storage spaces. Aperio devices fit all kinds of interior openings, including wooden and glass doors, as well as fire doors. Aperio cylinders, escutcheons, handles and security locks have in-built RFID readers for installer and user convenience.

All InHolland’s new Aperio devices are fully and seamlessly integrated with the university’s Nedap AEOS access control system. A single credential allows users to unlock all authorized openings managed by the AEOS system — whether wired or Aperio-protected doors.

Because Aperio locking devices are wireless, they were installed and initiated quickly — without disruption to InHolland buildings or their students’ working day. And choosing Aperio saved more than just time. A recent ASSA ABLOY benchmarking study finds installer labour costs are over 80% lower for wireless versus wired locks*. The ongoing cost of running battery-operated wireless locks is also much lower than for equivalent wired electronic locks, which require an “always on” connection to mains electricity to maintain secure status. In addition, choosing Aperio gives InHolland the ability to roll out enhancements over time, as needs, budgets and priorities evolved. Aperio devices can be added and integrated gradually, with no need to replace existing systems. InHolland’s investment remains totally future-proofed.

Fitting Aperio wireless escutcheons and locks to critical doors ensures university staff, students, visitors and confidential information are safe without impacting site accessibility. Authorised users open relevant secure doors conveniently with a programmable RFID credential. Aperio’s inherent flexibility makes it easy to adjust any space’s level of protection at any time. So, locking status is regularly reconfigured as needs and usage evolves around the multi-site campus and university facilities.

Based on their experience to date with Aperio, InHolland are already planning for the future. A new university in Amsterdam will become a smart building and will require access control able to integrate with smart building systems. Aperio is built on an open platform, designed for interoperability, so this is a natural fit. InHolland will enter pilot stage for their new smart building soon.

“I am very satisfied with the implementation and operation of the Aperio solution and I have every confidence in ASSA ABLOY as a manufacturer,” concludes Frans Bruggeman, Facility Services Consultant at InHolland.

Interview: Vladimir Zrnić, Regional Sales Manager for Southern Europe at Advanced

Mr. Zrnic, could you please present yourself to our readers: your professional and educational background and experience, when you started working for Advanced, what your role is, and what areas you cover?
My name is Vladimir Zrnic and I am Regional Sales Manager for Southern Europe at Advanced.
Based in Serbia, I have worked in the fire industry for over a decade. In that time, I have been a designer, contractor and consultant working on many prestigious Serbian projects, implementing highly-rated fire detection and suppression systems.
After more than 10 years at one of the largest fire detection companies in Serbia, in 2017 I joined Advanced, assuming responsibility for driving sales and managing customer accounts across Southern Europe as well as Turkey and Israel.

Who is Advanced and what do you specialise in? Where are your products and solutions sold?
Advanced is a fire protection and life safety systems manufacturer, based in the UK, supplying fire panels to around 80 countries across the globe. Our solutions have been specified on some of the highest profile developments of the past decade, including The Shard, Western Europe’s tallest building, Abu Dhabi International Airport and the world’s longest sea crossing, the Hong Kong – Macau – Zhuhai Bridge.
Alongside our fire systems, we also produce intelligent extinguishant, radio paging and emergency lighting systems. We offer AdSpecials too, which is a custom design and build service, creating specially engineered solutions to meet very specific building needs. All of Advanced’s products are backed up by our award-winning customer service, technical support and training.

What have been some of the most important milestones for Advanced? When did you become a part of Halma and what are the major benefits of this for the business?
Advanced became a part of Halma plc in 2014. Halma is a global group of life-saving technology companies with a clear purpose to grow a safer, cleaner, healthier future for everyone, every day,.
Being part of a larger group of fire and life safety companies enables us to draw on knowledge and expertise from across Halma’s portfolio of businesses, to share expertise and to accelerate the growth of both new product development and the wider business.
Halma is listed on the London Stock Exchange, and having the backing of a FTSE 100 company has also had benefits for us in terms of investment. Another major landmark for Advanced was the relocation of our headquarters and manufacturing plant in 2018, from four separate sites in Cramlington, Northumberland, to a £1million, 48,000 sq ft base in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in North East England.

Tell us more about your existing product line?
As part of our core product line-up, Advanced offers both intelligent addressable fire panels and complete systems.
Our MxPro 5 is the industry’s unbeatable multiprotocol fire panel. Built on almost two decades of market leadership, it offers greater freedom to specifiers, end users and installers. It is FM approved to EN54 Parts 2, 4 and also holds Part 13 approval. It comes in one to eight loop formats, is compatible with Apollo, Argus, Hochiki and Nittan protocols and can be reliably networked into systems of up to 200 panels.
Available for European, African, Middle Eastern and South East Asian markets, Axis EN is our highest performance EN54-approved panel range conforming to Parts 2, 4 and 13. It is certified by FM to EN54 Parts 2 and 4. It is available in one to eight loop formats and configurable into networks of up to 200 panels with a complete range of wired and wireless loop devices and powerful peripherals to choose from. If it’s UL 864 compliance that’s required, our Axis AX panel range comes complete with digital audio and our award-winning, integrated smoke control solution, DynamixSmoke that dramatically simplifies the programming process.
To address false alarms, one of the biggest issues facing fire professionals and building owners, Advanced developed AlarmCalm. As a complete false alarm management solution available as standard on the MxPro 5 and Axis EN ranges, AlarmCalm allows a site to be divided into virtual false alarm management zones called Building Areas, which can have unique or grouped settings, allowing highly flexible false alarm strategies to be set for each area.
TouchControl, available across Advanced’s fire systems, is a 10” HD touchscreen repeater and remote control terminal. Its unique user interface allows easy network control via built-in graphics zone plans.
AdSpecials is a dedicated department within Advanced that works with customers to design and manufacture unique panels, enclosures and control interfaces for sites where customised solutions are needed. The scope of customisation ranges range from simple colour coordination to fully bespoke panel housings that offer environmental protection and specialist control and indication.

All your products are integrated through DynamixTools software. What benefits does this deliver?
DynamixTools is Advanced’s suite of software that makes installing, configuring, customising, monitoring, maintaining, and managing a fire system easy.
Some of its key applications include:
• ConfigTool: used to configure any Advanced fire panel whether standalone or part of a large, networked system
• ServiceTool: offers powerful, flexible service reporting to help you demonstrate proof of servicing, download service reports, inspect device history and keep track of service schedules
• TerminalTool: is used to program any Advanced fire panel, even remotely via PC connection
• LogoTool: lets you brand any Advanced panel with a customer or installer logo which can help remind users who to call for maintenance and reinforce ownership of any service contracts
• ExGo ExtractionTool: designed to work with Advanced’s gas suppression system, it makes the management of configuration, control data and event logs simple and efficient.
These applications are continually updated with new features and performance enhancements for the complete range of Advanced products. Our position in the global fire industry means we help guide legislation and can implement software changes quickly, keeping our customers’ systems up to date.

What international standards do your solutions meet?
In order to satisfy the requirements of our customers around the world, we understand the importance of meeting the criteria set out in various international standards. We are approved to the major international EN and UL standards, and a wide range of regional and local codes. Meeting the necessary standards is an ongoing focus and we are continually building upon our core range of EN54 and UL 864-approved products.

Tell me about some of the biggest fire protection challenges your customers have that you come across most regularly?
The Adriatic region is flooded with fire brands coming from all over the world. Due to the unenviable economic situation, the most important criteria when choosing equipment is the lowest price.
Much of this fire alarm control and indicating equipment does not have the required approvals or the required level of functionality to deliver adequate protection, which often causes big problems for the end user.

How does Advanced offer solutions to these challenges?
We strive to constantly educate designers, consultants, installers as well as end users about the importance of specifying and installing high-quality, high-performing, trusted solutions that meet the necessary standards, and guide them through the equipment selection process.
With over 20 years’ experience in manufacturing and supplying fire detection and suppression systems, we believe that our expertise and experience can help customers prevent these issues and put in place the best possible protection for a wide range of sites.

You state that your growth comes from strong customer relationships. Is Advanced 360 behind that success?
Advanced invests time in nurturing strong relationships with customers because we care passionately about helping our clients find the best solutions to their needs.
Advanced 360 is our award-winning customer support that strives to meet and surpass customer expectations by offering a comprehensive customer care package both in person, online and over the phone.
Support can cover help when specifying a system or during installation and maintenance. We also provide full installer training free of charge for direct customers, online and over the phone, and offer a fault-modelling service.
However, also behind our success is the expertise of the wider team at Advanced. This includes leadership, operations, engineering, technical, digital, marketing and of course sales – all pulling together to deliver high-quality solutions to protect people and property and keep at the forefront of fire industry innovation.

What is new to market or in the product pipeline at the moment?
We’re working on new ways to give fire system users much more convenient real-time, remote access to, and control of, their fire protection. This has the potential to bring large-scale time and cost savings to customers.
Specifically, we are accelerating the development of AdvancedLive – our digital, cloud-connected product offering with some pilot work which we hope will provide better interactions for end users and installers. This exciting solution will, we believe, take our brand promise of ‘ease of use’ to a new level for customers needing remote monitoring and control of their sites’ fire systems.

Advanced systems are found in many applications. What vertical markets do you focus on? Can you name some of the most important case studies?
One of the key strengths of our products is their flexibility to deliver seamless protection across a wide variety of settings, from schools, universities, hospitals and hotels to large-scale industrial sites and critical infrastructure projects.
Some of the projects we’re most proud of include:
• The Historical Archives of Belgrade, where a custom-engineered solution has been introduced. By interfacing our TouchControl touchscreen repeater panel with our ExGo extinguishing system, the installer has enabled visibility over the building’s gas suppression system via interactive mapping.

• The world’s longest sea crossing, the Hong Kong – Zhuhai – Macau bridge is protected by our ExGo gas suppression panels – a fantastic achievement.

• London’s 22 Bishopsgate, Western Europe’s second tallest building, has been designed to be at the forefront of fire technology – a fantastic testament to our products and the capability of our AdSpecials team who were tasked with developing a number of customised solutions to protect the site.

What are your views on digital innovation happening in the industry?
More recently, we have witnessed an industry-wide drive towards innovative digital solutions to make control, monitoring, maintenance and servicing of fire systems much quicker, smoother and more convenient.
The development of cloud-enabled products and services is a focus for Advanced, and we have already adopted the technology across our emergency lighting product offering. Going forward, we also see digital innovation opening up new ways of working and transforming how we interact with our fire systems.

What has been the effect of Covid-19 on Advanced? Any good news stories to share?
Like most businesses that have continued to operate throughout the pandemic, we have put in place all recommended measures to keep our fantastic team safe. This way we have been able to continue to work to support the high demand we’ve seen for fire protection products.
Many people have seen the global lockdown of countries as an opportunity to upskill. We’ve introduced a webinar programme designed to explain our solutions in more detail and have also developed a series of online training modules.
In order to continue to deliver seamless customer service and technical support, over the past few months, we have also begun developing a series of video tutorials and walkthroughs that will address many of our customers’ FAQs. These are available via our Vimeo channel ‘Advanced Live’, with new tips frequently posted.

Your opinion about the Adriatic region security market, its pros and cons? And how do you intend to increase market share in this area? Are you looking for new partners?
The Adriatic region has been developing extremely quickly in recent years. It is one of the most demanding European markets in terms of requirements for quality and functionality at competitive prices.
As a leading manufacturer of fire detection systems, Advanced understands the importance of continually listening to market demands and strives to customers’ individual needs through product development and aftersales support.
We are proud to support many long-term partners in countries throughout the region, and are always open to new enquiries and opportunities to support installers, engineers, consultants, specifiers and building owners in meeting their fire protection challenges, whatever they may be.
