Overview

• Axon Enterprise is creating a smaller, more discreet Taser designed for use in executive security scenarios, following increased inquiries after the murder of UnitedHealthcare's Brian Thompson in December 2024.
• The new Taser model is intended to be wearable and less conspicuous than law enforcement versions, addressing corporate leaders' growing safety concerns.
• Axon has also expanded into counter-drone technology with its Dedrone acquisition, offering security solutions for critical infrastructure and high-profile clients like the Global Economic Forum and Qatar's royal family.
• The company reported doubling its annual revenue over two years to $2.1 billion, driven by demand from corporate clients for security equipment and AI-powered video processing tools.
• Executives and companies are ramping up security measures, such as private security details and virtual meetings, while corporate boards increasingly prioritize risk assessments for high-profile leaders.
