Barnes Buchanan 2019: Despite 'Strange Narrative' Great Time To Be In Security

By: Dan Gelinas, Published on Feb 11, 2019

A "strange narrative" is being spun, said Michael Barnes [link no longer available] at the 2019 Barnes Buchanan Conference. However, despite that narrative, it is a "great time" to be in the industry.

Barnes gave a 3-hour presentation on the current state of the industry during which he talked about 5 key areas (Growth, Structure, Operating Metrics, Threats, Market Values) that illuminated several themes, listed below:

Strange Narrative - People Feel Threatened
Data Shows Healthy Market
Most Serious Threat Is Complexity
Medium Threats
Low Threats
Fear Could Dry Up Investment
ADT & Brinks Underperforming
Multiples Healthy
Commoditization Of Hardware, But Service At A Premium
Incursions from Big Tech and Telcos
Growth Up Slightly
Move Toward Service
Regional Alarm Co Market Share Shrinking
Stickier Customers = Lower Attrition

IPVM attended the presentation and examines Barnes presentation and logic.
