According to a Capital One survey, the majority of security system professionals (66 percent) expect to complete at least one acquisition in the next year, and 16 percent expect at least three acquisitions. The interest in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity reflects respondents’ optimism in the financial health of the security industry — 85 percent expect improved financial performance a year from now.
