#Security Threats a New Reality; #Surveillance Technology, #Cybersecurity, Sensor Stocks to Watch: DirectView Holdings (OTC: $DIRV), FLIR ($FLIR), Fortinet ($FTNT), Viasat ($VSAT)

Point Roberts, WA - October 3, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering security stocks releases a sector snapshot of the security market including video surveillance technology, cybersecurity and sensor technology companies.

The new normal of security threats in our personal and corporate lives has created a critical need for increased technology, innovation and implementation.

According to recent research that projects, the global video surveillance market to reach $62.62 Billion by 2023, "The increasing demand for Video Content Analytics and Video Surveillance as a Service incorporation of artificial intelligence in video surveillance systems, increasing demand of intelligent transportation systems and integration of surveillance with technologies such as drones and body-worn cameras have been identified as the key opportunities that could escalate the market growth in the coming years."

One company seeing first-hand the demand and industry growth, DirectView Holdings, Inc. (OTC: DIRV), a company focused on ownership and management of leading video and security technology companies, just announced the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Virtual Surveillance has been contracted to provide and install surveillance equipment for a Texas municipality. This contract is a follow- up to recent contracts the company was awarded in the hotels and education markets.

According to the press release, "Phase one of the contract was to service local police department and jail with security cameras and access control. Phase two of the contract involves upgrading various parks and recreation locations, providing total surveillance visibility throughout the region."

Roger Ralston, CEO of DirectView, said, "It is a true honor and testament to our team and the products and services we provide to have won this contract. I am proud to say that our team is working closely with area officials to make the community a safer place. The transition to new equipment will be seamless, and we are eager to see the project completed in a timely fashion. Management is confident that the municipality will be pleased with the new technology. We've found that a happy client almost always comes back for more equipment, further installations and is the best source of referrals."

The reminder that security and threat detection technology is critical was reinforced this week with breaking news that two pieces of mail delivered to the Pentagon mail facility on Monday have initially tested positive for ricin, according to a US defense official.

CNN reported, "The two suspicious envelopes sent to the Pentagon were addressed to Secretary of Defense James Mattis and to Chief of Naval Operations, Adm. John Richardson", the official told CNN. Ricin is a highly toxic compound extracted from castor beans that has been used in terror plots. It can be used in powder, pellet, mist or acid form. If ingested, it causes nausea, vomiting and internal bleeding of the stomach and intestines, followed by failure of the liver, spleen and kidneys and death by collapse of the circulatory system."

A company that may provide solutions for chemical detection, FLIR Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:FLIR), a sensor company that also provides solutions for security and surveillance just announced it received an award from the United States Department of Defense (DOD) Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical Biological Radiological and Nuclear Defense (JPEO-CBRND) in support of the Multi-Phase Chemical Agent Detector (MPCAD) program. The Other Transaction Authority Agreement (OTA) is valued at $28.7 million, with execution extending through mid-2022.

The company said in its news, "We are proud to be selected as part of the US Military's critical next generation chemical sensing program," said James Cannon, Chief Executive Officer at FLIR. "This award enables our team to further fulfill its mission to protect the lives and livelihoods of our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines against the threat of chemical attack."

You can’t talk about security risks without being reminded on a weekly basis of the most recent cybersecurity hack and personal data breach. The recent Facebook (Quote) hack that impacted 50 million users now apparently will have a massive financial impact on Facebook as well with recent headlines, "Facebook could face $1.63bn fine under GDPR over latest data breach."

According to recent research, "The global cybersecurity market was valued at USD 103.84 billion in 2017 and is expected to reach a value of USD 242.57 billion by 2023 at a CAGR of 15.19% over the forecast period of 2018- 2023."

October 1st marked the start of the 15th annual National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM), as government agencies, businesses and consumer groups across the US encourage citizens to be more #CyberAware.

Russ Schrader, Executive Director of the National Cyber Security Alliance, told The Daily Swig ahead of the launch, "It is our shared responsibility to help protect the internet - we all need to do our part to keep our networks safe."

Elsewhere, European Cybersecurity Month (ECSM) also kicked off yesterday with its sixth annual campaign.

Aside from educating people on the dangers at home, the NCSA hopes to encourage more individuals to consider a career in cybersecurity - a rapidly growing job market struggling to fill its many vacant positions.

Last year, there were 350,000 unfilled cybersecurity positions in the US alone; globally this figure is expected to reach 3.5 million by 2021, according to research by Cybersecurity Ventures.

Cybersecurity leader, Fortinet Inc. ( NASDAQ: FTNT) is constantly innovating to stay ahead of the threats and recently was recognized as a Gartner Magic Quadrant for Unified Threat Management (SMB Multifunction Firewalls) Leader for Ninth Time. Fortinet secures the largest enterprise, service provider and government organizations around the world.

For investors following the stock, Fortinet will be reporting earnings and will hold a conference call to discuss its third quarter 2018 financial results on Thursday, November 1 at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time (4:30 p.m. Eastern Time).

In other cybersecurity news, Viasat Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT), announced that it has made new security capabilities available for U.S. and international Five Eyes (FVEY) Naval Forces. Viasat introduced its integrated Mobile Dynamic Defense (MDD) cybersecurity software for use at sea to securely capture and distribute sensitive data to onshore counterparts and defend against rapidly evolving cyber threats during a maritime mission.

According to the news - "Hackers are increasingly looking to compromise mobile devices as a way to gain access to classified government and military data," said Ken Peterman, President, Government Systems, Viasat. "By providing Viasat's MDD software, naval personnel now have the ability to provision and configure devices as a mission changes—which can help secure highly-sensitive mission information and defend against emerging cyber threats—even at sea."

CEO Discusses growth in #ThreatDetection Innovation and Acceleration of #PATSCAN Solutions

TORONTO, ON - September 25, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Security stock news alert - Patriot One Technologies Inc., (TSX.V: PAT) (OTCQB: PTOTF) (FRANKFURT: 0PL) ("Patriot One" or the "Company"), developers of the award-winning PATSCAN™ covert weapon detection system, is pleased to provide the following Q3 2018 corporate update from CEO & President Martin Cronin.

Dear Patriot One Shareholders & Partners,

I am pleased to take this opportunity to report on our ongoing activities and progress, including exciting developments involving complementary multi-sensor technologies to enhance our capabilities and profitability.

Sadly, many of our most significant developments over the past 24 months since we launched Patriot One have been set against a backdrop of ever-increasing active shooter and terrorist assaults targeting people at schools, event venues, churches, tourist attractions, business environments and beyond. Each of these horrific and saddening events serves as a constant reminder of how serious our venture is and drives us to succeed.

Here are our latest highlights in the relentless pursuit of our goal to bring security to people everywhere. In doing so we demonstrate our commitment to establish Patriot One as a competitive force in a global physical security market estimated to be worth $153 billion by 2023.

PATSCAN CMR Achieves Target Antennae Efficiency

I am delighted to advise that our engineering team has achieved its optimization and efficiency targets for the spec-6 antennae system, which now demonstrates consistent results within complex environments including human versus target-threat separation. Our engineering team is continuing to work diligently to refine this important aspect of Patriot One technology as part of our efforts to bring forward market-leading products.

Real-World Insights Reveal New Opportunities

Our numerous conversations with resellers, distributors and end-users has both aided our research efforts and revealed unmet market opportunities to improve and extend the capability of our algorithm-based software platform through the adoption of multiple specialized sensors for threat detection.

Through conversations with our customer base, the concept of a PATSCAN multi-sensor platform approach has taken shape. While many of our investors will see this as a way to capture an even larger market share, our clients will see a multi-sensor approach as a means to further guard their properties without creating fortress-like environments. We see a multi-sensor approach as a win-win opportunity that offers market share growth and improved security through enhanced threat detection.

Thanks to our investments in machine learning, we are now able to consider the assembly of data points from a variety of sources. To that end, we are investigating the integration of a select suite of advanced sensors to extend the power of machine learning across a secure multi-sensor network environment. We firmly believe that this method can help us best serve varying customer requirements, such as a need to address installation costs related to all of a venue’s indoor and outdoor architectural and environmental realities. We believe the bottom line is that offering greater protection for the general public will result in greater safety and greater revenues.

Advancing into Sales

Thanks to technological and other advancements we are moving ever closer to commercial launch including through a number of innovation partnership opportunities. We believe our multi-sensor program efforts will both extend the capability of our PATSCAN system significantly and will result in a number of product launches in Q4 2018.

ASIS/GSX LAS Vegas - PATSCAN Showcase Event

On a timely note, key members of our business development and engineering teams will meet industry visitors and guests at the American Society for Industrial Security (ASIS) and Global Security Exchange (GSX) conference at the Las Vegas Convention Center this week from September 24-27. The Company looks forward to showcasing the PATSCAN systems at its Las Vegas Development Centre to clients and partners from North America and abroad.

Valued Partnerships

We are ever grateful to organizations such as the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, University of North Dakota, several key law enforcement agencies, security professionals and government officials, as well as our partners in the UK and the many representatives of businesses, sports venues, schools districts and places of worship across North America that have provided us with contextual insights, resources and access to facilities that have vastly accelerated our development efforts.

The Importance of Listening

It is my sincere hope that as you read this quarterly update, you will come to the same exciting conclusion that we have – the continuing emergence of single-system threat detection technologies, including those of our competitors, emphasizes the importance of listening to our customers so that we can identify market gaps and continue to develop sector-leading solutions.

As we continue to optimize our flagship PATSCAN CMR product to become the gold-standard in threat detection solutions, our clients are looking to Patriot One for threat detection scalability. Our job is to ensure we build and deliver affordable, robust and effective solutions, while achieving sustainable revenues, and delivering excellent shareholder value. Paying attention to what our customers want helps to ensure that we retain a sector-leading role and achieve our vision to become the foremost proponent and provider of innovative threat detection and counter-terrorism solutions and services for global public safety.

Sincerely,

Martin Cronin, CEO

Demand Driven by Compliance Regulation

Point Roberts, WA - September 25, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering security and cannabis stocks releases a sector snapshot of the growing video surveillance market and how cannabis, the fastest growing sector in the world, is creating additional market opportunities for video surveillance technology companies that can address compliance issues.

According to the research report "Video Surveillance Market by System (Analog, & IP), Offering (Hardware, Software, & Service), Vertical (Commercial, Infrastructure, Military & Defense, Residential, Public Facility, & Industrial), and Geography - Global Forecast to 2023", the overall market is estimated to grow from USD 36.89 Billion in 2018 to USD 68.34 Billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 13.1% between 2018 and 2023. The increasing concerns for public safety and security, growing adoption of IP cameras, and growing demand for DIY and spy cameras are the key factors driving the video surveillance market growth."

Leading experts in the cannabis sector say that, "The cannabis industry is the fastest growing market in the world and the legal cannabis business is expected to generate $57 billion globally by 2027 as countries throughout the world continue to legalize its use and demand continues to grow exponentially."

Compliance regulation for the legal marijuana industry requires video surveillance technology as a security measure, with demand for technology driven by regulation. So as the global cannabis industry scales up, so does the demand for security technology.

Looking at compliance issues in the U.S., "According to Adherence Compliance, a Denver-based company specializing in cannabis compliance, about 76% of all operators fail at least on inventory requirements, 72% on security and surveillance requirements, 67% on labeling and packaging, 64% on business records, and 53% on transport and storage."

Source- https://www.securitymagazine.com/articles/89126-facing-compliance-challenges-surveillance-proves-essential-to-cannabis-industry-success

One company, DirectView Holdings, Inc. (OTC: DIRV), a video surveillance solutions technology company is ramping up to participate in this compliance gap and opportunity. With recent contracts in the education and hotels sector, the cannabis opportunity is now part of the future sales strategy.

DirectView Holdings discusses the issue of best video surveillance resolution in the cannabis sector on its website saying, "Unfortunately, many of the stipulations issued by state departments concerning the technology for marijuana surveillance do not exist or cannot be properly achieved. A good example of this includes the number of pixels requested in video surveillance systems. Unfortunately, the 640 pixels is not standard in such camera works and instead, require improved and accurate resolution to be able to identify individuals over an average 6.1 meters. Cameras with a 1080p resolution deliver better graphic quality over considerable distances making it a better choice for the identification of potential trespassers."

They go on to state, "Legal requirements for marijuana markets include the recording of the entrances and the exits within the property. Officials request that surveillance cameras are properly angled to capture persons moving between these areas. It is important to rely on your official technology provider who can advise on the correct positioning of video cameras for surveillance purposes."

"Regulations require that video footage retrieved from the surveillance system produces recordings of over 40 days. It is imperative that you invest in quality equipment with reliable recording functions and a significant memory. This ensures the compliant footage is retained and easily presented to officials who may request the recordings."

"According to state practice, it has become a legal requirement for marijuana markets to comply with surveillance and security operations. Investing in top quality equipment for remote access and surveillance will ensure you comply. It can prevent unnecessary penalties and secure the licensed cannabis property."

Looking at current and recent sales and growth prospects for the Company, yesterday, SeeThruEquity, an independent equity research and corporate access firm focused on smallcap and microcap public companies, announced it had issued an update on DirectView Holdings, Inc. (OTC PINK: DIRV) with a target price of $0.08.

Excerpt

DIRV reported record 1H18 results on August 20, 2018, with revenues reaching $2.3mn in the first half of 2018, up 70.3% versus $1.4mn in the year-ago period. DIRV generated growth from sales execution and the impact of the Apex and Video Surveillance LLC acquisitions, which took place in April 2017. We note that revenues of $2.3mn in the first half of the year are already approaching full-year 2017 revenues of $2.9mn. Results also included record gross profit dollars for the company, which were $1.0mn versus $0.7mn in the year-ago period. For the quarter, 2Q18, the company maintained revenues above $1mn, reporting a top line of $1.1mn, a 9.8% drop versus $1.2mn in 2Q17. EPS was $0.11 due to a non-operating gain from a change in the value of derivative securities

DIRV has issued multiple announcements citing new business wins in the last several months. The company reported new deals in the education sector from a Texas college and New York City private school and reported that it anticipated to sign a seven-digit master sales contract with Mission Foods providing extensive surveillance and access solutions for the company's new logistics facility outside of Dallas, TX. Additional recent sales highlights of note include a new $150,000 video security contract for a premiere New York City hotel. In its announcement, DIRV management noted that the deal may be a harbinger of future business in the sector, stating that many hotel owners in New York City are opting to overhaul their existing and outdated security and surveillance systems. We note the hotel sector has been a source of strength in the past for DIRV, which counts Marriott, Trump Hotels, and Hilton among past installations.

Health Canada's Guidelines for Licensed Producers (LPs) Security Guidelines are as follows: MMPR s43. (1) -The perimeter of the licensed producer's site must be visually monitored at all times by visual recording devices to detect any attempted or actual unauthorized access.

Security Industry Podcast: CEO of DirectView Holdings (OTC: $DIRV) Talks about his Surveillance and Access Control Products and Recent Contracts

DirectView Holdings, Inc., (OTC: DIRV) has had a "phenomenal" first half of 2018, largely as a result of strong trust built up with clientele, according to company CEO Roger Ralston.

DirectView has seen a 70 percent growth in sales, a record of $2.3 million USD, in the first half of the year, as well as a 73 percent increase in product sales worth $1.9 million USD in the same period. Sales of services recorded $0.4 million USD, marking a 57 percent increase and the company reports $0.9 million USD in gross profits-a 64 percent increase over 2017.

Ralston puts a lot of this success on the establishment of trust with clients and argues that the confidence that DirectView has fostered is worth more than advertising.

“In the business that we’re in…one of the biggest things is trust,” he said. “You could take out a billboard in Times Square, and you’re not going to get nearly as much business as you’re going to get from word of mouth, referrals from other companies that people are doing business with or ongoing business from the customers you’re in with.”

Ralston cited the retention of services with clients as evidence of the importance of trust.

“Typically we find that once we’re in with a company, a school–whatever it may be–that they’ll end up sticking with us as they go on with more projects and more locations because they like to keep it uniform with somebody they trust,” he said.

One of the most visible security issues in 2018 was in schools, as mass shootings proliferate in the United States. A recent press release from DirectView indicated orders the company received for school security and surveillance. Ralston explained that significance of security systems in the wake of mass shootings in schools and elsewhere, and that safety was of the utmost significance.

“That’s one of the saddest things we hear about,” he said. “It’s not only schools, it’s concerts…it could be anything in public and school shootings are just the thing getting the most attention.”

“We do have some educational institutions that are clients of ours, and when we’re working with them that is the most paramount thing, keeping their students safe, their staff safe, their visitors safe. Using our security systems is something that definitely helps keep everybody safe and it’s also a deterrent from people doing what they shouldn’t be doing.”

In light of DirectView Holdings’ record-breaking financial year, Ralston spoke of the importance of uplisting, and specifically, the company’s intended route of growth and acquisition.

“We are absolutely still focussed on [uplisting],” he said. “We’ve got a number of items in place to help us reach that goal. First and foremost we’ve been sticking to the fundamentals and growing the business, which I think is evident by our audited financials that we just reported. We’re also looking at adding some depth to our senior management and we have some good things planned for that area, as well as continuing on our acquisitions. So, we’re looking to grow both organically and through acquisitions.”
