Ranked by disclosed equity funding and recent funding momentum, this directory covers 2,849 Security & Surveillance Technology companies across the United States, sitting on $26.3B in total disclosed capital and 14 unicorns. That's a serious pile of money. But funding tells you where bets were placed, not where revenue actually landed. So look at the filings: 18 validated filers show a combined revenue pool of roughly $8.1B, with a median of $21M per company. Motorola Solutions pulled $2.7B at +7% YoY. Samsara hit $1.6B at +30%. CACI International logged $2.3B at +11%. Allegion cleared $1.0B, and its net income of $644M runs 331 times the sector median net income of $2M. That gap between median and outlier, I'd argue, is the real story here.
The median revenue growth is -30% YoY, which tells you the middle of this market is under real pressure even as the top earners compound steadily. App-side momentum is more encouraging, with median install growth running +15% YoY across security and technology apps. Shield AI leads our directory by funding at $930M, with Verkada close behind at $457M. You're looking at a sector where the biggest players print serious profit and the long tail fights for relevance, all while regulatory heat around cyberstalking enforcement and computer fraud statutes keeps reshaping what these companies can actually sell.
