OVERVIEW
THE PROBLEM
THE SOLUTION
The Security Oracle Robots close the Response Time Gap. The patented artificial intelligence solution stops attacks in as little as 3 seconds, which is up to 100 times faster than the best security and law enforcement solutions.
THE BUSINESS MODEL
Our Robots as a Service plan is set at an hourly price range from $5 to $19 per hour. We project to recover our manufacturing costs within 1 to 1.5 years and produce a recurring annual revenue stream thereafter. Over a minimum target life of 5 years, we project a profit of about $150,000 to $500,000 per Robot.
Robots on the Rafters™ represent the lower priced system and are highly effective at close range.
Robots on the Move™ can be built outfitted with the best components to meet even the most demanding security missions and are priced accordingly.
Features - Smart phone versus flip phone?
TSO machines are purpose-built configurations for their missions, via TSO’s patented/patent pending AI processes.
Increased value versus the competition: TSO’s RCADS™ active defense machines versus a passive surveillance-only trailer or camera box kit is analogous to a smart phone versus a flip phone. The Robots on the Move™ platform below depicts available and some notional features.
Monitor & Defend Your Assets Around the World
THE MARKET
The security market is growing due to increased demand for next-gen tech including robotics. The U.S. non-defense cyber and physical security market is estimated to exceed $400 billion.
Our initial sales reached $3.2 million for our Robots in the Sky® product based on our design/build onsite installation and integration model. Many clients preferred fully programmed products with a maintenance contract.
Automotive Dealers and Auction Owners will benefit greatly from our Robots on the Rafters™ and Robots on the Move™ purpose built appliances.
OUR TRACTION
The Security Oracle is revealing the Holy Grail of Security, forever sought and now attained, transforming the current physical security best practices of DETECT DELAY RESPOND to DETECT ENGAGE NEUTRALIZE™ (Safely).
Who's Talking About TSO's Holy Grail of Security ...
“Among the more innovative solutions are tower-mounted robots powered by artificial intelligence (AI). Such technology connected to a high-speed network could transform a power grid’s passive security system into an active defense-and-denial physical protection system. Using non-lethal actuators, such as cameras and sensors, the system detects, delays, and safely thwarts a potential attacker by overwhelming them with directed, high-intensity sound, lights, and strobes.”
-- PowerMag Online, February 2018
Industry Leader Referral
“If the ability to defend the asset is a vital component of your overall critical infrastructure protection strategy, then the 'TSO RCADS' offers a unique and reliable solution.”
-- Al Perotti, CPP, Former Physical Security Director
Early adopter of RCADS™
“TSO’s disruptive robotic solution, Remotely Controlled Active Defense and Denial System (RCADS™) and Robots in the Sky® empower organizations to dynamically reconfigure access control and emergency communications systems to adapt to new security threats in sub-second response time and address all applicable NERC CIP regulatory physical security requirements.”

Third Party Reviewer
Using our transformative hardware / software / services business model, we've generated over $3 million in lifetime revenue and our Robots have been protecting critical infrastructure for over 200,000 operating hours with little maintenance requirements. Our Robots, monitored by a security operations center, have assisted law enforcement to stop potential criminal activity.
Our Robots are Great Neighbors, too!
Gaining traction creates market acceptance. Following our roll out of Machine as a Service, TSO received a highly valuable new contract. The Security Oracle, Inc. executed a reseller agreement to lease our mobile Robots with a multibillion dollar, multinational security technology and contract guarding company. Our Robots will force-multiply human guards and provide new, value added technology and services to the end customer at an affordable level of investment.
WHY INVEST
We are often asked this question:
Answer: It’s HARD!
AND don’t take our word for it.
On October 3, 2017, TSO’s game-changer Robots in the Sky® were inspected by auditors and NERC officials for compliance to CIP-014 standards; our early-adopter reported, “They were very, very impressed…that we found a way to be faithful to our strategy…to protect an asset…in a way that we can defend it as well.” The inspectors remarked, “we haven’t seen anything like this anywhere.”
Help us protect where we work and play, and our very way of life against the growing incidents of carnage and significant damage to property due to increasing crime in our society today so we can deploy active defense protection systems everywhere!
We’re ready to grow. We want the help of investors, just like you, so we can afford to hire more salespeople, technicians, engineers and deployment specialists and build more Robots here in the United States.

ROBOTICS IS THE NEW TECHNOLOGICAL REVOLUTION.
“84% of Security Guards will be replaced by Robots!” per Oxford University Study.
Opportunity for TSO Investors: “Amateurs talk strategy. [We] talk logistics.” (Thanks, General Omar Bradley!) — Our Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS) business model is a logistical one and our AI does the heavy lifting, economizing and force-multiplying human effort.
The annual US market for manned security guarding is $43 Billion and according to the Oxford University study, 84% of security guards will be replaced by automation. (download report here https://www.oxfordmartin.ox.ac.uk/downloads/academic/future-of-employment.pdf). So…let’s see…that’s a potential market opportunity for security robotics in the United States alone of $36 Billion annually at the expected 84% conversion rate of human guards to automation.
TSO’s Unfair Advantage over other security robotics companies:
Our Patents and Security Robotic Trademarks!
Other security robotic products are mostly limited to "observing and reporting" when a crime is being perpetrated against you, while the genius of The Security Oracle's "pioneering" patents make us the only legal supplier (in the covered countries) of "artificial intelligence (AI) driven nonlethal security robotics."
We can STOP attackers immediately, not just witness the demise of our customers and their property while waiting for a human response to arrive. Our robots can even help first responders stay safe while engaging perpetrators.
The difference is in the ultra-high performance of our AI control systems. Our "special AI sauce" makes it very difficult for perpetrators to get around the nonlethal countermeasures (projected sound, powerful strobes, laser dazzlers, etc.) and so must quickly break off their attack to recover from the countermeasures' effects.
Our robotic security appliances are able to immediately, Safely, and effectively defend you and your property, beginning in a few seconds from the time a threat is detected.
With the potential for United States market conversion rate of human guards to automation alone at $36 Billion annually, think about the global security market and TSO’s unfair advantage with our 9 pioneering patents and 163 trademarks in 35 countries on 4 continents. (https://thesecurityoracle.com/about-tso/tso-patents-trademarks)
The deep knowledge base and decades of experience of our innovative Team in engineering, designing and delivering highly complex, integrated security technology solutions to end customers as depicted below. When reviewing the staff of other security robotics companies, we do not see anything close to our qualifications and depth and breadth of experience and success.

SERIOUS THREAT AGAINST OUR POWERGRID HAS RE-EMERGED WITH CBS 60 MINUTES AND CBS NEWS discussing US Admin’s serious concerns -- U.S. power grid at risk of attack - CBS News
From the news reports:
At minute 1:57 Bill Whitaker reports:
“That’s right Norah, that report was from 2013 and it actually found the number was even lower. NINE, taking out just nine critical substations could black out the whole country.”
At minute 2:11 Norah is shocked and asks.
Norah: “Well, what can the government do or anybody do about this?”
Bill: “Spend Money!… Invest in better security. But that’s not happening now. Remember, the country’s 3000 power companies are in the business of selling electricity, not national security. And this last point is really important because the THREAT is REAL. Just last week 3 white supremacists pleaded guilty to plotting to attack power grids throughout the country, and they had a plan to hit critical substations simultaneously to cause a massive blackout.”
Many of the power grid owners spent some money 5-6 years ago to improve physical security for these critical substations but the security upgrades aren't effective in neutralizing terrorist style attacks. Grid owners installed cameras, alarms and electronic key card systems, and often built walls at the cost of millions of dollar$ to stop bullets from being fired into transformers, but...
...as you can see from this animation (below), new walls are easily overcome by attackers and the substation transformers are destroyed in as little as a few minutes.
Cameras and alarms alone can't stop them either; they can only typically memorialize the event and associated destruction.
So, if even the best security practices used since the 1990s can't protect us from being knocked into the stone ages, what can?
The electric power industry knows it has one major gap in the ability to stop attacks and avoid drastic consequences, and that gap is in the inability to respond in sufficient time, with sufficient force to neutralize the attack.
GOOD NEWS: The Security Oracle's AI-driven Robots in the Sky® were tested via a third-party combat modeling software (https://aressecuritycorp.com/#avert-splash ) against such rifle team attacks on electric substations using a US Department of Homeland Security certified combat simulator system AVERT. TSO's Robots in the Sky® (illustrated below) were effective in warding off 100% of 200 simulated attacks.
Our AI-driven Little Black Box of Futuristic Technology, available TODAY, was first Designed, Deployed and Proven 5 plus YEARS AGO to PROTECT OUR POWERGRID FROM SUCH TERRORISTS’ ATTACKS!
The remerging concern and demand for serious improvements in physical security protection for the US Power Grid, uniquely positions The Security Oracle with the opportunity to provide our one-of-a-kind SOLUTION to this NATIONAL SECURITY PROBLEM...

Unfortunately, the security systems that power utilities have in place now don’t work against this kind of attack, even though power utilities have collectively spent hundreds of millions of dollars ($$$) on antiquated security solutions that were mostly developed last century in the 1980s and 1990s, and law enforcement patrols take far too long to arrive.
From the article Domestic Terrorists Eye US Power Grid as Possible Target of Attack, Officials Warn | Inside Edition, we see that the threats against this most critical of all infrastructures are growing incredibly fast and threaten our very survival. https://www.insideedition.com/domestic-terrorists-eye-us-power-grid-as-possible-target-of-attack-officials-warn-72835
By Johanna Li
First Published: 10:05 AM PST, January 27, 2022
This comes amid warnings that the power grid faces heightened threat from Russia and China.
Domestic terrorists have been developing “credible, specific” plans to attack the U.S. power grid, the Department of Homeland Security warned power companies Monday.
“DVEs (domestic violent extremists) have developed credible, specific plans to attack electricity infrastructure since at least 2020, identifying the electric grid as a particularly attractive target given its interdependency with other infrastructure sectors," the bulletin read, according to The Daily Beast. https://www.thedailybeast.com/dhs-warns-that-right-wing-extremists-could-attack-power-grid?source=articles&via=rss
DHS intelligence suggests that domestic violent extremists will continue to plot attacks against electrical infrastructure in the U.S. that “may result in physical damage.” Conversations from domestic violent extremists online in recent months have focused on encouraging lone wolf attacks, as well as attempts to inspire individuals with little or no training to go after electric infrastructure—including with firearms, improvised incendiary devices, hammers, and power saws.
“There is a real possibility that if we ever got into a conflict, you could see attacks on our power grid or the transportation sector for example,” Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth said in a statement.
Today, there are many articles on DHS warning of such impending attacks on our US power grid. Reported in the article: DHS - Extremists Continue to Plot, Encourage Physical Attacks on Electricity Infrastructure https://www.hstoday.us/federal-pages/dhs/dhs-extremists-continue-to-plot-encourage-physical-attacks-on-electricity-infrastructure/
The [DHS] Office of Intelligence and Analysis document produced at the request of energy-sector stakeholders says that the dispersed nature of electricity infrastructure — with more than 6,400 power plants, 55,000 substations, and 450,000 miles of high-voltage transmission lines serviced by 3,000 companies — leads extremists to believe that they will have breathing room to commit an attack and escaped undetected, perceptions “likely reinforced” by the 2013 incident in which multiple gunmen opened fire on the Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s Metcalf Transmission Substation south of San Jose, Calif., causing more than $15 million in damage to 17 transformers.
In the past, FERC stated that an attack on just 9 large substations could cause the US power grid to collapse for 18 months or longer.
What can be done if the security the power companies have in place now will not protect against this kind of attack?
Good News! TSO's Robots in the Sky® were validated by a certified third-party combat modeling software system as being capable of stopping these attacks, while the commonly installed security systems with walls, cameras, sensors, and electronic access control systems would lose the battle 100% of the time.
This video will show you how various types of attacks can be successful against the current security or thwarted when adding TSO’s Defensive Robots:
With your important investment assistance, TSO can build (via our patented/patent pending process) and lease/rent our Robots to protect the power grid. The more than 6,400 power plants, 55,000 substations, and 450,000 miles of high-voltage transmission lines serviced by 3,000 companies provides a huge opportunity to do good for every single person, protecting our way of life!

Do you want a reliable supply chain that you can count on to bring you the goods you want and need? When you return ship goods back to Amazon for credit on your account, for example, you certainly want Amazon to receive it. Right? Well…that’s not happening… a lot!
In the screen shot below you can see packaging built up more than a foot think, strewn all over the train tracks and it is the result of just 30 days of forced train car break-ins and package theft.
In this article and video at https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/14/economy/la-freight-railroad-theft/index.html it says in part:
Union Pacific said in its letter that in the last three months of the year it made over 100 arrests of "active criminals vandalizing our trains" in partnership with the LA police department and Los Angeles Sherriff department. But Union Pacific, which has its own police department with jurisdiction over the 32,000 miles of tracks it owns, said that even as it has expanded its security resources and partnered more closely with local law enforcement, the problem isn't going away.
Areas where the trains pause for long periods (often called “in-transit railcar storage” locations) or where trains move very slowly, the cargo containers cars are ripe for break ins and package theft.
The more our supply chain and the economy slow the more this kind of theft will fester. It's probably only going to get much, much worse as inflation and the constant constriction of available goods ensues.
In Los Angeles, the police union is already saying they are overwhelmed and can’t protect tourist traveling there. That means the more brazen criminal behavior will likely continue or escalate.
The Security Oracle, Inc. has a solution, Robots on the Rails®, that will greatly reduce this vulnerability to crime that is further disrupting our fragile supply chain in a time when the Nation can least afford it.
Our Robots on the Rails® project safe, but loud directed warning statements and sounds, along with the powerful strobes lights at potential perpetrators to drive even the most determined thieves away. These Robotic appliances can do this automatically while humans monitoring them remotely can oversee many defensive robots simultaneously from the comfort and safety of a control center. This means far fewer thefts, arrests and police responses making life more productive and safer for all.
With your investment assistance we can build rental Robots on the Rails® and work to get them on the railways, leasing or renting to these customers who desperately need to protect our supply chain!

This increases our global trademark portfolio count to 163 trademarks AND, importantly, these three newly registered trademarks bring our total US Patent and Trademark Office (often the most difficult to get trademarks from) to (4) four Robot registrations -- Robots in the Sky®, Robots on the Seas®, Robots on the Rails® and Robots on the Move® -- with RCADS® and MOBILE RCADS®.
Review our entire portfolio of patents and trademarks here: TSO Patents & Trademarks (thesecurityoracle.com)
Of highly valuable context and content (planned strategy submitted to USPTO for registration more than 4 years ago) is our successful ‘win’ of both usage classes of 9 and 42 that support TSO’s *newer business model of Machines as a Service/Robots as a Service. (MaaS)
• Class 9 Products/Goods and Services > Computers and Scientific Devices
- CLASS 9: Security system comprising software and hardware for identifying a potential threat and initiating countermeasures to delay, deter and/or thwart the identified potential threat;
• Class 42 Services > Science and Technology Services
- CLASS 42: Design and development of security systems comprising software and hardware for identifying a potential threat and initiating countermeasures to delay, deter and/or thwart the identified potential threat;
We believe this brings significant value to our Patent and Trademark portfolio. Imagine Nike without the swoosh and Apple without the apple trademark! We're not saying we know anyone of our 163 registered trademarks will be that valuable, but with everything Robots and AI these days, we think this is the time for such trademarks!

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.
