Securitas Launches Securitas Technology Brand

STOCKHOLM — Securitas, following its acquisition of STANLEY Security in July 2022, has launched its new brand in the electronic security services space: Securitas Technology. The new brand brings together STANLEY Security – which Securitas purchased from Stanley Black & Decker for a reported $3.2 billion last summer – and Securitas’ electronic security operations division.

The newly launched Securitas Technology employs approximately 13,000 people across the globe, 5,100 of which are field technicians. Around 500 colleagues are based in the UK. The business provides bespoke design, installation, monitoring and analytics solutions across the video, access, intrusion, fire and integrated systems spaces.

At the time of the purchase of STANLEY Security, Reuters reported how Securitas was looking to reduce its reliance on guarding services and increase its market share in the electronic security services sector.

“We’re thrilled to officially launch Securitas Technology and share with clients the tremendous value we bring as a security partner,” says Securitas Technology Global President Tony Byerly. “We have three distinct advantages as a global provider: our people, technology, and knowledge. I’m incredibly proud of the organization we’re building together and the rich history and deep industry expertise that help make us a leader in the market.”

UK Commercial Leader Vincent Poty says: “With Securitas Technology, we are creating something different and unique in electronic security. It reflects our sense of service, technology expertise and capacity for innovation, that together will support our clients in a changing world.”

“It is a hugely exciting time for all involved and we can’t wait to show people the potential Securitas Technology can help them to realize – as clients, as employees and in many other capacities,” concludes UK Head of Electronic Security Arthur Agnew.

“Our purpose to help make the world a safer place remains, and that starts with ensuring clients are at the heart of all we do,” Byerly says. “As a fully integrated business focused on security technology, we are well-positioned to unlock even more value for our clients – whether they’re local, regional, national or global and have a single site to secure or need a complex and comprehensive multisite enterprise security program.”

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
