A former Secret Service agent is now urging the Department of Homeland Security to raise the national terror threat level, warning that sleeper cell activity inside the United States is an escalating danger after recent US Israeli strikes on Iranian leadership and a deadly Texas shooting under federal investigation. When national security experts say the threats are inside our own borders, soft targets like bars, campuses, hospitals, and office parks suddenly look very different. That is exactly where physical security is shifting from clipboards and cameras to sensors, software, and autonomous systems from companies like Knightscope Inc (NASDAQ: KSCP/quote">NASDAQ: KSCP), Evolv Technologies (NASDAQ: EVLV/quote">NASDAQ: EVLV), Securitas AB (OTC:SCTBY), NAPCO Security Technologies (NASDAQ: NSSC/quote">NASDAQ: NSSC), and Axon Enterprise (NASDAQ: AXON/quote">NASDAQ: AXON).

Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ: KSCP/quote">NASDAQ: KSCP) is a Silicon Valley security technology company whose AI-powered robots and connected devices help safeguard the places people live, work, study, and visit across the US, from schools and residential complexes to factories, logistics hubs, and transit centers. By combining hardware, software, and live human response into a recurring‑revenue service, Knightscope captures real-time data and turns it into actionable intelligence and forensics that give officers and guards capabilities traditional cameras and patrols simply cannot match.

On March 3, 2026, Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ: KSCP/quote">NASDAQ: KSCP) announced that it has completed the acquisition of Event Risk LLC, a nationwide provider of armed and unarmed security guarding services and executive protection.

The deal turns Knightscope into both a security technology developer and a licensed security services provider, combining autonomous robots, AI-driven command software, and licensed response services under a single managed service structure. Management believes this integrated model will allow the company to contract as the licensed provider, deploy autonomous systems, monitor centrally, and execute response under one accountable operating framework as part of its Autonomous Security Force strategy.

Event Risk has demonstrated consistent double digit growth, strong client retention, and established service relationships with Fortune 1000 companies, national brands, and high profile individuals, entering 2026 with significant contracted revenue, positive EBITDA, and expectations of continued double digit growth prior to any synergies.

Knightscope believes that integrating autonomous technology with licensed security operations strengthens the capabilities and market reach of both organizations and supports its strategy to build the Nation’s First Autonomous Security Force by aligning visible autonomous presence, AI driven sensing, and licensed human response under a single accountable operating model.

“This is a strategic move in building the Nation’s First Autonomous Security Force,” said William Santana Li, Chairman and CEO of Knightscope. “Security buyers are forced to purchase disconnected products and services today – but what they ultimately need is accountability and outcomes. By integrating licensed response services with autonomous machines and AI-driven orchestration software, we are building a unified operating model designed to deliver deterrence, detection, and response as one coordinated system.”

Security Tech Leaders Tighten Their Grip On A Rising Threat Landscape

Securitas AB (OTC:SCTBY) is moving deeper into digital threat intelligence with a deal to acquire Liferaft, a Canadian SaaS provider of open source intelligence solutions. Liferaft reported subscription-based annual recurring revenue of roughly MSEK 138, or about $15.3 million, at the end of 2025, growing more than 30% organically as it helped hundreds of large enterprises monitor global threat data around the clock. Securitas’ CEO says the acquisition will let the company layer Liferaft’s continuous 24/7 open source monitoring, analytics, and real time alerts across its existing guarding and technology footprint, boosting high margin recurring revenue and giving clients more proactive, intelligence led security programs once the deal closes in the first half of 2026.

Evolv Technologies Holdings, Inc.

Axon Enterprise, Inc. (NASDAQ: AXON/quote">NASDAQ: AXON) just reported a record year as law enforcement and public safety agencies continue to buy into its cloud and hardware ecosystem. Software and services revenue grew 40% to $343 million, helping drive total 2025 revenue to $2.8 billion, up 33% year over year, with annual recurring revenue topping $1.3 billion and future contracted bookings reaching $14.4 billion.

In February 2026, Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ: KSCP/quote">NASDAQ: KSCP) retained Lake Street Capital Markets as its exclusive buy side financial advisor with a clear mandate to identify profitable, cash flowing guarding businesses that can serve as immediate deployment channels for Knightscope’s Autonomous Security Force. Management views strategic acquisitions as a second growth engine alongside its technology platform, aiming to step into existing books of guarding business and then layer in autonomous robots, AI driven Signals software, and remote monitoring to shift contracts over time from labor heavy models toward higher margin, technology rich managed security services.
