1. The Cybersecurity Opportunity

Over 100 million people experience cybercrime every year in the U.S.¹ Not surprisingly, cybercrime and identity theft have become the number one crime-related worry for consumers at a rate nearly two times higher than home burglary.² As consumers and businesses alike have become increasingly reliant on digital data, the rate of cyberattacks and data breaches has increased to the point that hundreds of millions of people have been affected one way or another by cybercrime. The demand for cybersecurity solutions for home and business is skyrocketing.

Alarm companies are in a unique position with a clear opportunity to take the lead in the fight against cybercrime and further solidify their relationship of trust with their customers. Dealers offering cybersecurity solutions create a significant competitive advantage in their market, boost customer retention and increase recurring monthly revenue.
