HiveWatch 2025 Wrapped: Our Year in Physical Security

You know that satisfying moment when Spotify tells you exactly how many minutes you spent listening to the same three songs on repeat? Consider this our version of that.

Here's HiveWatch 2025, wrapped.

Our Top Number: $65 Million

We closed a $33 million Series B funding round in September, led by Anthos Capital. Total funding raised? More than $65 million.

Our CEO, Ryan Schonfeld, is calling this "Phase 2: Scale." Translation: we're hiring across engineering, product, customer success, marketing, and sales in El Segundo. Things are about to get loud.

Most Played Feature: The AI Operator

If 2025 had a top track, it was the AI Operator.

Powered by Anthropic, this is the feature that handles alarm triage at scale so human operators can stop drowning in false positives. It launched to customers early this year and the response was... a lot.

90%+ of new customer contracts now include it.

One CSO from a $300 billion tech company said their team is shifting "from alarm processors to strategic analysts." That's the energy we're going for.

Your Listening Personality: "Security That Actually Scales"

Remember when we kept saying security doesn't scale? We meant it. And then we fixed it.

The AI Operator processes high volumes of initial alarms so your team focuses on real threats. Not noise. Not busywork. Actual security incidents that need human judgment.

New Releases This Year

We dropped some features based on what you actually asked for.

QuickReport: Employees report incidents from their phones via QR code. Photos, video, descriptions, and anonymous options. Operators filter by location, time, and type. Simple.

Guard Post Orders: Site-specific instructions now live directly in the Guard Mobile App. Field teams responding to incidents have what they need without digging for it.

Dashboard Upgrades: More customization, better filtering, streamlined workflows. The HiveWatch® GSOC OS now bends to how your team actually works.

The Stat That Still Gets Us

95% of Americans have interacted with a product, service, or brand protected by HiveWatch.

We don't have a clever way to say this. That's just wild. And we don't take it lightly.

Your 2026 Preview

More AI Operator capabilities. More platform updates. And a continued push toward what we're calling the "GSOC of the future."

Physical security is having a moment. The teams that figure out how to pair human expertise with AI-powered tools are the ones who'll actually scale protection across their entire footprint.

That's the playlist we're building.

Thanks for Streaming With Us

See you in 2026.
