10 Major Security Mergers and Acquisitions From 2022

M&A activity continued to stay strong in the security industry after hitting a lull when COVID hit in 2020. SSI covered roughly 130 deals, about the same as last year.

Though some big deals went down, there wasn’t as much cash that exchanged hands as last year (at least as far as deals go where transaction details were disclosed). Only three deals surpassed the billion dollar mark compared to seven last year.

Interest in the industry from outside of security continued, as private equity firms continued to snap up or invest in security and fire/life-safety firms — or in the case of the third largest deal of 2022, an insurance provider.

In September, insurance provider State Farm announced it would make a $1.2 billion equity investment in ADT, resulting in State Farm owning approximately 15% of ADT. ADT and State Farm said they aim to create a comprehensive solution across home and mobile safety to help customers recover from unexpected risks with proactive safety and security.

Though we are approaching the end of the year, the deals aren’t slowing down. We’ve already seen 10 sealed in December so far. To stay up to date with the security industry’s latest mergers and acquisitions, be sure to frequent SSI‘s M&A page.

Top 10 Security Stories From October 2021: China Ban Gains Steam, Vivint Countersues ADT

October saw its fair share of legal issues and acquisitions. This month, lawsuits involved home security companies, a gunshot detection provider and even a media company. Vivint Smart Home is seeking retribution for the lawsuit ADT filed against it last year that alleged Vivint salespeople go to ADT customers’ homes, get them to sign Vivint contracts and install the company’s alarm systems in their homes under false pretenses. Vivint had requested a motion to have that lawsuit dismissed, but when the judge denied the motion, Vivint launched a countersuit claiming it is in fact ADT that is deceiving and stealing its customers. Gunshot detection provider ShotSpotter filed a lawsuit against media company Vice, alleging it is profiting off of fabricated claims. Vice has been critical about ShotSpotter’s technology in a multitude of articles. Though not a lawsuit, Dahua and Hikvision continue to feel pressure from the U.S. government as it considers a new measure that would make it imp

Minnesota AG Calls for Cancellation of Home Security Contracts for Alleged Fraud

STEARNS COUNTY, Minn. — Bring Me the News reports that Minnesota’s Attorney General, Keith Ellison, says he’s gotten consumers in Stearns County out of home security contracts after they were misled by a door-to-door salesman. According to the report, Ellison’s office announced that home security companies Skyline Security Management and Safe Home Security have agreed to their cancel contracts with customers in and around Stearns County who purchased their systems from door-to-door salesman Gary Harvey. “Door-to-door salesmen and their employers are in the business of trust-building,” Ellison said in a statement. “They know they need to have your trust to sell you their products, particularly expensive products like security systems that are supposed to keep your home safe. When that trust is betrayed, it’s emotionally and financially painful. I appreciate Skyline and Safe Home taking the right step in canceling these contracts while my office does what we can under the law to hold M
