BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.
Exclusive Playbook: We'll be giving out an exclusive DFR playbook distilling learnings from early DFR adopters so your agency can get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The silver jubilee edition of Intersec 2024 will feature increased support from key UAE Government bodies and exhibitor numbers will be up 20% on last year. All will be reinforcing the importance of safety, security and fire safety technology in the MENA region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the silver jubilee edition of Intersec will host 1,000 exhibitors from more than 60 nations, with around a quarter of these appearing for the first time. Occupying 13 halls at DWTC, the exhibition signifies a 20 per cent growth compared to 2023, reaffirming its status as a critical networking hub for global security, safety, and fire protection industries. Uniting buyers, sellers, and decision-makers, Intersec provides a dynamic nexus for networking, deal-making, and the global unveiling of cutting-edge technology and innovations in Dubai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In particular, every element of Intersec is affiliated with the relevant UAE government entities, demonstrating the commitment of the UAE Government to these important industries. Dubai Police and the Security Industry Regulatory Authority (SIRA) are affiliated with the security sector; Dubai Civil Defence with the Fire & Rescue element of Intersec; while Dubai Municipality supports the safety sector and the Cyber Security Council and Dubai Electronic Security Center (DESC) underscore the importance of the cyber sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alex Nicholl, Group Commercial Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \u201cWith two months to the largest edition of Intersec, we look forward to providing a platform for bringing the leading industry players together for three days of discovery, networking, knowledge sharing and most of all, driving the industry forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to exhibitor showcases, Intersec 2024 will continue to set the stage for a safer and more secure world with the return of its high-impact conference programmes, including the exclusive Security Leaders' Summit (ISLS)<\/a> exploring trends in sustainable security and geopolitical risk intelligence, the Cyber Security Conference<\/a>, hosted by the UAE Cybersecurity Council, delving into metaverse security and Zero Trust Architecture, and the Safety & Health Conference<\/a> emphasising workplace safety and well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the Fire & Rescue Conference, hosted by Dubai Civil Defence, will discuss strategies and best practices across topics such as emergency response planning, fire safety and compliance and community engagement. At the same time, the Thought Leadership Pavilion, hosted by the Access Control Executive Brief, will address a range of topics across a central theme of the future of the access control and smart lock industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese conferences and workshops serve as the intellectual heartbeat of Intersec, providing a platform where pressing issues are dissected, innovative solutions are unveiled, and the seeds of progress are sown,\u201d added Nicholl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event's diverse features encompass the Drone Threats & Counter Measures Workshop, the Emergency Crisis Management & Communication Workshop, live demonstrations in the Attack Zone, a catwalk show of industrial safety gear at the Safety Walk and the Future Defenders Hack Arena for students and professionals. Moreover, the Intersec Awards will recognise outstanding achievements across key sectors, and The Premium Club will provide a key networking programme for industry professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.
Exclusive Playbook: We'll be giving out an exclusive DFR playbook distilling learnings from early DFR adopters so your agency can get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats.

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made.

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats.

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology.

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology.

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology.

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, the Thought Leadership Pavilion, hosted by the Access Control Executive Brief, will address a range of topics across a central theme of the future of the access control and smart lock industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese conferences and workshops serve as the intellectual heartbeat of Intersec, providing a platform where pressing issues are dissected, innovative solutions are unveiled, and the seeds of progress are sown,\u201d added Nicholl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats.

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology.

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.
Exclusive Playbook: We'll be giving out an exclusive DFR playbook distilling learnings from early DFR adopters so your agency can get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the Fire & Rescue Conference, hosted by Dubai Civil Defence, will discuss strategies and best practices across topics such as emergency response planning, fire safety and compliance and community engagement. At the same time, the Thought Leadership Pavilion, hosted by the Access Control Executive Brief, will address a range of topics across a central theme of the future of the access control and smart lock industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese conferences and workshops serve as the intellectual heartbeat of Intersec, providing a platform where pressing issues are dissected, innovative solutions are unveiled, and the seeds of progress are sown,\u201d added Nicholl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event's diverse features encompass the Drone Threats & Counter Measures Workshop, the Emergency Crisis Management & Communication Workshop, live demonstrations in the Attack Zone, a catwalk show of industrial safety gear at the Safety Walk and the Future Defenders Hack Arena for students and professionals.

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats.

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach.

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.
Exclusive Playbook: We'll be giving out an exclusive DFR playbook distilling learnings from early DFR adopters so your agency can get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want a Sneak Peak?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats.

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A focus on partnership<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will showcase its latest developments within smart city management in three key areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Public safety: The Genetec unified security platform enables cities to centralise monitoring, collect digital evidence and support emergency response teams. This will improve coordination between public and private agencies, ensuring a fast and effective response.
\u2022 Urban mobility: Genetec offers video-based traffic management solutions that optimise traffic flow and improve road safety. These solutions include vehicle recognition, roadway monitoring, automated incident detection, and the facilitation of real-time decision making through advanced data analytics.
\u2022 Environmental monitoring: With the integration of video and IoT, cities can receive real-time updates on weather conditions, air quality and other environmental parameters, helping to create a more sustainable and safer urban environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A focus on partnership<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A focus on partnership<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.
Exclusive Playbook: We'll be giving out an exclusive DFR playbook distilling learnings from early DFR adopters so your agency can get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want a Sneak Peak?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.

A focus on partnership<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Public safety: The Genetec unified security platform enables cities to centralise monitoring, collect digital evidence and support emergency response teams. This will improve coordination between public and private agencies, ensuring a fast and effective response.
\u2022 Urban mobility: Genetec offers video-based traffic management solutions that optimise traffic flow and improve road safety. These solutions include vehicle recognition, roadway monitoring, automated incident detection, and the facilitation of real-time decision making through advanced data analytics.
\u2022 Environmental monitoring: With the integration of video and IoT, cities can receive real-time updates on weather conditions, air quality and other environmental parameters, helping to create a more sustainable and safer urban environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A focus on partnership<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A focus on partnership<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec<\/a> will be present at the Smart City Expo World Congress which is to be held in Barcelona from the 5th -7th November 2024. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company will join its strategic partner, Axis Communications, in Hall 3, Stand 121, where they will present their innovative solutions designed to address today's smart city challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will emphasise its commitment to the deep unification of systems and its prominent role in improving city security and mobility efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its native open architecture platform Genetec brings together diverse systems and technologies such as video surveillance, access control, Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), communications and video analytics through one intuitive interface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the Expo, Genetec will also showcase its open SaaS (software as a service) solution offering, which allows organisations to connect directly to the cloud with the latest Axis cameras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security Center SaaS takes full advantage of the Axis Cloud Connect solution and Axis Network Door Controller Powered by Genetec. Security Center SaaS enables customers to securely connect, enroll and manage Axis devices in a variety of deployment options, including direct streaming of video, metadata and access control data from the devices to the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key solutions showcased at the Show<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will showcase its latest developments within smart city management in three key areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Public safety: The Genetec unified security platform enables cities to centralise monitoring, collect digital evidence and support emergency response teams. This will improve coordination between public and private agencies, ensuring a fast and effective response.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.
Exclusive Playbook: We'll be giving out an exclusive DFR playbook distilling learnings from early DFR adopters so your agency can get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.
Exclusive Playbook: We'll be giving out an exclusive DFR playbook distilling learnings from early DFR adopters so your agency can get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.
Exclusive Playbook: We'll be giving out an exclusive DFR playbook distilling learnings from early DFR adopters so your agency can get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want a Sneak Peak?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec<\/a> will be present at the Smart City Expo World Congress which is to be held in Barcelona from the 5th -7th November 2024. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company will join its strategic partner, Axis Communications, in Hall 3, Stand 121, where they will present their innovative solutions designed to address today's smart city challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.
Exclusive Playbook: We'll be giving out an exclusive DFR playbook distilling learnings from early DFR adopters so your agency can get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want a Sneak Peak?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A focus on partnership<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength.

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec<\/a> will be present at the Smart City Expo World Congress which is to be held in Barcelona from the 5th -7th November 2024. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company will join its strategic partner, Axis Communications, in Hall 3, Stand 121, where they will present their innovative solutions designed to address today's smart city challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security Center SaaS takes full advantage of the Axis Cloud Connect solution and Axis Network Door Controller Powered by Genetec. Security Center SaaS enables customers to securely connect, enroll and manage Axis devices in a variety of deployment options, including direct streaming of video, metadata and access control data from the devices to the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key solutions showcased at the Show<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will showcase its latest developments within smart city management in three key areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Public safety: The Genetec unified security platform enables cities to centralise monitoring, collect digital evidence and support emergency response teams. This will improve coordination between public and private agencies, ensuring a fast and effective response.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.
Exclusive Playbook: We'll be giving out an exclusive DFR playbook distilling learnings from early DFR adopters so your agency can get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want a Sneak Peak?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats.

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.
Exclusive Playbook: We'll be giving out an exclusive DFR playbook distilling learnings from early DFR adopters so your agency can get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want a Sneak Peak?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec<\/a> will be present at the Smart City Expo World Congress which is to be held in Barcelona from the 5th -7th November 2024. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company will join its strategic partner, Axis Communications, in Hall 3, Stand 121, where they will present their innovative solutions designed to address today's smart city challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will emphasise its commitment to the deep unification of systems and its prominent role in improving city security and mobility efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its native open architecture platform Genetec brings together diverse systems and technologies such as video surveillance, access control, Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), communications and video analytics through one intuitive interface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This facilitates decision-making by helping operators to make sense of the data collected, thus contributing to the creation of safer and more resilient urban environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the Expo, Genetec will also showcase its open SaaS (software as a service) solution offering, which allows organisations to connect directly to the cloud with the latest Axis cameras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security Center SaaS takes full advantage of the Axis Cloud Connect solution and Axis Network Door Controller Powered by Genetec. Security Center SaaS enables customers to securely connect, enroll and manage Axis devices in a variety of deployment options, including direct streaming of video, metadata and access control data from the devices to the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key solutions showcased at the Show<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will showcase its latest developments within smart city management in three key areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Public safety: The Genetec unified security platform enables cities to centralise monitoring, collect digital evidence and support emergency response teams. This will improve coordination between public and private agencies, ensuring a fast and effective response.
\u2022 Urban mobility: Genetec offers video-based traffic management solutions that optimise traffic flow and improve road safety. These solutions include vehicle recognition, roadway monitoring, automated incident detection, and the facilitation of real-time decision making through advanced data analytics.
\u2022 Environmental monitoring: With the integration of video and IoT, cities can receive real-time updates on weather conditions, air quality and other environmental parameters, helping to create a more sustainable and safer urban environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A focus on partnership<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology.

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.
Exclusive Playbook: We'll be giving out an exclusive DFR playbook distilling learnings from early DFR adopters so your agency can get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec<\/a> will be present at the Smart City Expo World Congress which is to be held in Barcelona from the 5th -7th November 2024. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company will join its strategic partner, Axis Communications, in Hall 3, Stand 121, where they will present their innovative solutions designed to address today's smart city challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A focus on partnership<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.
Exclusive Playbook: We'll be giving out an exclusive DFR playbook distilling learnings from early DFR adopters so your agency can get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want a Sneak Peak?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec<\/a> will be present at the Smart City Expo World Congress which is to be held in Barcelona from the 5th -7th November 2024. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company will join its strategic partner, Axis Communications, in Hall 3, Stand 121, where they will present their innovative solutions designed to address today's smart city challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the Expo, Genetec will also showcase its open SaaS (software as a service) solution offering, which allows organisations to connect directly to the cloud with the latest Axis cameras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security Center SaaS takes full advantage of the Axis Cloud Connect solution and Axis Network Door Controller Powered by Genetec. Security Center SaaS enables customers to securely connect, enroll and manage Axis devices in a variety of deployment options, including direct streaming of video, metadata and access control data from the devices to the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key solutions showcased at the Show<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will showcase its latest developments within smart city management in three key areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Public safety: The Genetec unified security platform enables cities to centralise monitoring, collect digital evidence and support emergency response teams. This will improve coordination between public and private agencies, ensuring a fast and effective response.

A focus on partnership<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.
Exclusive Playbook: We'll be giving out an exclusive DFR playbook distilling learnings from early DFR adopters so your agency can get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want a Sneak Peak?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A focus on partnership<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A focus on partnership<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time.

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.
Exclusive Playbook: We'll be giving out an exclusive DFR playbook distilling learnings from early DFR adopters so your agency can get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want a Sneak Peak?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec<\/a> will be present at the Smart City Expo World Congress which is to be held in Barcelona from the 5th -7th November 2024. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company will join its strategic partner, Axis Communications, in Hall 3, Stand 121, where they will present their innovative solutions designed to address today's smart city challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will emphasise its commitment to the deep unification of systems and its prominent role in improving city security and mobility efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its native open architecture platform Genetec brings together diverse systems and technologies such as video surveillance, access control, Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), communications and video analytics through one intuitive interface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This facilitates decision-making by helping operators to make sense of the data collected, thus contributing to the creation of safer and more resilient urban environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the Expo, Genetec will also showcase its open SaaS (software as a service) solution offering, which allows organisations to connect directly to the cloud with the latest Axis cameras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security Center SaaS takes full advantage of the Axis Cloud Connect solution and Axis Network Door Controller Powered by Genetec. Security Center SaaS enables customers to securely connect, enroll and manage Axis devices in a variety of deployment options, including direct streaming of video, metadata and access control data from the devices to the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key solutions showcased at the Show<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will showcase its latest developments within smart city management in three key areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Public safety: The Genetec unified security platform enables cities to centralise monitoring, collect digital evidence and support emergency response teams. This will improve coordination between public and private agencies, ensuring a fast and effective response.
\u2022 Urban mobility: Genetec offers video-based traffic management solutions that optimise traffic flow and improve road safety. These solutions include vehicle recognition, roadway monitoring, automated incident detection, and the facilitation of real-time decision making through advanced data analytics.
\u2022 Environmental monitoring: With the integration of video and IoT, cities can receive real-time updates on weather conditions, air quality and other environmental parameters, helping to create a more sustainable and safer urban environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A focus on partnership<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.
Exclusive Playbook: We'll be giving out an exclusive DFR playbook distilling learnings from early DFR adopters so your agency can get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec<\/a> will be present at the Smart City Expo World Congress which is to be held in Barcelona from the 5th -7th November 2024. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company will join its strategic partner, Axis Communications, in Hall 3, Stand 121, where they will present their innovative solutions designed to address today's smart city challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will emphasise its commitment to the deep unification of systems and its prominent role in improving city security and mobility efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its native open architecture platform Genetec brings together diverse systems and technologies such as video surveillance, access control, Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), communications and video analytics through one intuitive interface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This facilitates decision-making by helping operators to make sense of the data collected, thus contributing to the creation of safer and more resilient urban environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the Expo, Genetec will also showcase its open SaaS (software as a service) solution offering, which allows organisations to connect directly to the cloud with the latest Axis cameras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security Center SaaS takes full advantage of the Axis Cloud Connect solution and Axis Network Door Controller Powered by Genetec. Security Center SaaS enables customers to securely connect, enroll and manage Axis devices in a variety of deployment options, including direct streaming of video, metadata and access control data from the devices to the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key solutions showcased at the Show<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will showcase its latest developments within smart city management in three key areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Public safety: The Genetec unified security platform enables cities to centralise monitoring, collect digital evidence and support emergency response teams. This will improve coordination between public and private agencies, ensuring a fast and effective response.
\u2022 Urban mobility: Genetec offers video-based traffic management solutions that optimise traffic flow and improve road safety. These solutions include vehicle recognition, roadway monitoring, automated incident detection, and the facilitation of real-time decision making through advanced data analytics.
\u2022 Environmental monitoring: With the integration of video and IoT, cities can receive real-time updates on weather conditions, air quality and other environmental parameters, helping to create a more sustainable and safer urban environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A focus on partnership<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec<\/a> will be present at the Smart City Expo World Congress which is to be held in Barcelona from the 5th -7th November 2024. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company will join its strategic partner, Axis Communications, in Hall 3, Stand 121, where they will present their innovative solutions designed to address today's smart city challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security Center SaaS takes full advantage of the Axis Cloud Connect solution and Axis Network Door Controller Powered by Genetec. Security Center SaaS enables customers to securely connect, enroll and manage Axis devices in a variety of deployment options, including direct streaming of video, metadata and access control data from the devices to the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key solutions showcased at the Show<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will showcase its latest developments within smart city management in three key areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Public safety: The Genetec unified security platform enables cities to centralise monitoring, collect digital evidence and support emergency response teams. This will improve coordination between public and private agencies, ensuring a fast and effective response.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.
Exclusive Playbook: We'll be giving out an exclusive DFR playbook distilling learnings from early DFR adopters so your agency can get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want a Sneak Peak?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec<\/a> will be present at the Smart City Expo World Congress which is to be held in Barcelona from the 5th -7th November 2024. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company will join its strategic partner, Axis Communications, in Hall 3, Stand 121, where they will present their innovative solutions designed to address today's smart city challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will emphasise its commitment to the deep unification of systems and its prominent role in improving city security and mobility efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its native open architecture platform Genetec brings together diverse systems and technologies such as video surveillance, access control, Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), communications and video analytics through one intuitive interface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This facilitates decision-making by helping operators to make sense of the data collected, thus contributing to the creation of safer and more resilient urban environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the Expo, Genetec will also showcase its open SaaS (software as a service) solution offering, which allows organisations to connect directly to the cloud with the latest Axis cameras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security Center SaaS takes full advantage of the Axis Cloud Connect solution and Axis Network Door Controller Powered by Genetec. Security Center SaaS enables customers to securely connect, enroll and manage Axis devices in a variety of deployment options, including direct streaming of video, metadata and access control data from the devices to the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key solutions showcased at the Show<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will showcase its latest developments within smart city management in three key areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Public safety: The Genetec unified security platform enables cities to centralise monitoring, collect digital evidence and support emergency response teams. This will improve coordination between public and private agencies, ensuring a fast and effective response.
\u2022 Urban mobility: Genetec offers video-based traffic management solutions that optimise traffic flow and improve road safety. These solutions include vehicle recognition, roadway monitoring, automated incident detection, and the facilitation of real-time decision making through advanced data analytics.
\u2022 Environmental monitoring: With the integration of video and IoT, cities can receive real-time updates on weather conditions, air quality and other environmental parameters, helping to create a more sustainable and safer urban environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A focus on partnership<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.
Exclusive Playbook: We'll be giving out an exclusive DFR playbook distilling learnings from early DFR adopters so your agency can get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.
Exclusive Playbook: We'll be giving out an exclusive DFR playbook distilling learnings from early DFR adopters so your agency can get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want a Sneak Peak?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the Expo, Genetec will also showcase its open SaaS (software as a service) solution offering, which allows organisations to connect directly to the cloud with the latest Axis cameras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security Center SaaS takes full advantage of the Axis Cloud Connect solution and Axis Network Door Controller Powered by Genetec. Security Center SaaS enables customers to securely connect, enroll and manage Axis devices in a variety of deployment options, including direct streaming of video, metadata and access control data from the devices to the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key solutions showcased at the Show<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will showcase its latest developments within smart city management in three key areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Public safety: The Genetec unified security platform enables cities to centralise monitoring, collect digital evidence and support emergency response teams. This will improve coordination between public and private agencies, ensuring a fast and effective response.
\u2022 Urban mobility: Genetec offers video-based traffic management solutions that optimise traffic flow and improve road safety.

A focus on partnership<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats.

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.
Exclusive Playbook: We'll be giving out an exclusive DFR playbook distilling learnings from early DFR adopters so your agency can get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want a Sneak Peak?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec<\/a> will be present at the Smart City Expo World Congress which is to be held in Barcelona from the 5th -7th November 2024. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company will join its strategic partner, Axis Communications, in Hall 3, Stand 121, where they will present their innovative solutions designed to address today's smart city challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will emphasise its commitment to the deep unification of systems and its prominent role in improving city security and mobility efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its native open architecture platform Genetec brings together diverse systems and technologies such as video surveillance, access control, Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), communications and video analytics through one intuitive interface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This facilitates decision-making by helping operators to make sense of the data collected, thus contributing to the creation of safer and more resilient urban environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the Expo, Genetec will also showcase its open SaaS (software as a service) solution offering, which allows organisations to connect directly to the cloud with the latest Axis cameras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security Center SaaS takes full advantage of the Axis Cloud Connect solution and Axis Network Door Controller Powered by Genetec. Security Center SaaS enables customers to securely connect, enroll and manage Axis devices in a variety of deployment options, including direct streaming of video, metadata and access control data from the devices to the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key solutions showcased at the Show<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will showcase its latest developments within smart city management in three key areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Public safety: The Genetec unified security platform enables cities to centralise monitoring, collect digital evidence and support emergency response teams. This will improve coordination between public and private agencies, ensuring a fast and effective response.
\u2022 Urban mobility: Genetec offers video-based traffic management solutions that optimise traffic flow and improve road safety. These solutions include vehicle recognition, roadway monitoring, automated incident detection, and the facilitation of real-time decision making through advanced data analytics.

A focus on partnership<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time.

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.
Exclusive Playbook: We'll be giving out an exclusive DFR playbook distilling learnings from early DFR adopters so your agency can get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want a Sneak Peak?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec<\/a> will be present at the Smart City Expo World Congress which is to be held in Barcelona from the 5th -7th November 2024. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company will join its strategic partner, Axis Communications, in Hall 3, Stand 121, where they will present their innovative solutions designed to address today's smart city challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will emphasise its commitment to the deep unification of systems and its prominent role in improving city security and mobility efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its native open architecture platform Genetec brings together diverse systems and technologies such as video surveillance, access control, Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), communications and video analytics through one intuitive interface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the Expo, Genetec will also showcase its open SaaS (software as a service) solution offering, which allows organisations to connect directly to the cloud with the latest Axis cameras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security Center SaaS takes full advantage of the Axis Cloud Connect solution and Axis Network Door Controller Powered by Genetec. Security Center SaaS enables customers to securely connect, enroll and manage Axis devices in a variety of deployment options, including direct streaming of video, metadata and access control data from the devices to the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key solutions showcased at the Show<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will showcase its latest developments within smart city management in three key areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Public safety: The Genetec unified security platform enables cities to centralise monitoring, collect digital evidence and support emergency response teams. This will improve coordination between public and private agencies, ensuring a fast and effective response.
\u2022 Urban mobility: Genetec offers video-based traffic management solutions that optimise traffic flow and improve road safety.

A focus on partnership<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec 2024 to welcome 1,000 exhibitors, and 45,000 visitors, and showcase cutting-edge security, safety and fire protection innovations<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.
Exclusive Playbook: We'll be giving out an exclusive DFR playbook distilling learnings from early DFR adopters so your agency can get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec<\/a> will be present at the Smart City Expo World Congress which is to be held in Barcelona from the 5th -7th November 2024. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company will join its strategic partner, Axis Communications, in Hall 3, Stand 121, where they will present their innovative solutions designed to address today's smart city challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will emphasise its commitment to the deep unification of systems and its prominent role in improving city security and mobility efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its native open architecture platform Genetec brings together diverse systems and technologies such as video surveillance, access control, Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), communications and video analytics through one intuitive interface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This facilitates decision-making by helping operators to make sense of the data collected, thus contributing to the creation of safer and more resilient urban environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the Expo, Genetec will also showcase its open SaaS (software as a service) solution offering, which allows organisations to connect directly to the cloud with the latest Axis cameras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security Center SaaS takes full advantage of the Axis Cloud Connect solution and Axis Network Door Controller Powered by Genetec. Security Center SaaS enables customers to securely connect, enroll and manage Axis devices in a variety of deployment options, including direct streaming of video, metadata and access control data from the devices to the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key solutions showcased at the Show<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will showcase its latest developments within smart city management in three key areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Public safety: The Genetec unified security platform enables cities to centralise monitoring, collect digital evidence and support emergency response teams. This will improve coordination between public and private agencies, ensuring a fast and effective response.
\u2022 Urban mobility: Genetec offers video-based traffic management solutions that optimise traffic flow and improve road safety. These solutions include vehicle recognition, roadway monitoring, automated incident detection, and the facilitation of real-time decision making through advanced data analytics.
\u2022 Environmental monitoring: With the integration of video and IoT, cities can receive real-time updates on weather conditions, air quality and other environmental parameters, helping to create a more sustainable and safer urban environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A focus on partnership<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time.

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the Expo, Genetec will also showcase its open SaaS (software as a service) solution offering, which allows organisations to connect directly to the cloud with the latest Axis cameras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security Center SaaS takes full advantage of the Axis Cloud Connect solution and Axis Network Door Controller Powered by Genetec. Security Center SaaS enables customers to securely connect, enroll and manage Axis devices in a variety of deployment options, including direct streaming of video, metadata and access control data from the devices to the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key solutions showcased at the Show<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will showcase its latest developments within smart city management in three key areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Public safety: The Genetec unified security platform enables cities to centralise monitoring, collect digital evidence and support emergency response teams. This will improve coordination between public and private agencies, ensuring a fast and effective response.
\u2022 Urban mobility: Genetec offers video-based traffic management solutions that optimise traffic flow and improve road safety.

A focus on partnership<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time.

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A focus on partnership<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec<\/a> will be present at the Smart City Expo World Congress which is to be held in Barcelona from the 5th -7th November 2024. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company will join its strategic partner, Axis Communications, in Hall 3, Stand 121, where they will present their innovative solutions designed to address today's smart city challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will emphasise its commitment to the deep unification of systems and its prominent role in improving city security and mobility efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its native open architecture platform Genetec brings together diverse systems and technologies such as video surveillance, access control, Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), communications and video analytics through one intuitive interface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the Expo, Genetec will also showcase its open SaaS (software as a service) solution offering, which allows organisations to connect directly to the cloud with the latest Axis cameras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security Center SaaS takes full advantage of the Axis Cloud Connect solution and Axis Network Door Controller Powered by Genetec. Security Center SaaS enables customers to securely connect, enroll and manage Axis devices in a variety of deployment options, including direct streaming of video, metadata and access control data from the devices to the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key solutions showcased at the Show<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will showcase its latest developments within smart city management in three key areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Public safety: The Genetec unified security platform enables cities to centralise monitoring, collect digital evidence and support emergency response teams. This will improve coordination between public and private agencies, ensuring a fast and effective response.
\u2022 Urban mobility: Genetec offers video-based traffic management solutions that optimise traffic flow and improve road safety.

\u2022 Environmental monitoring: With the integration of video and IoT, cities can receive real-time updates on weather conditions, air quality and other environmental parameters, helping to create a more sustainable and safer urban environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A focus on partnership<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.
Exclusive Playbook: We'll be giving out an exclusive DFR playbook distilling learnings from early DFR adopters so your agency can get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec<\/a> will be present at the Smart City Expo World Congress which is to be held in Barcelona from the 5th -7th November 2024. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company will join its strategic partner, Axis Communications, in Hall 3, Stand 121, where they will present their innovative solutions designed to address today's smart city challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will emphasise its commitment to the deep unification of systems and its prominent role in improving city security and mobility efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its native open architecture platform Genetec brings together diverse systems and technologies such as video surveillance, access control, Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), communications and video analytics through one intuitive interface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This facilitates decision-making by helping operators to make sense of the data collected, thus contributing to the creation of safer and more resilient urban environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the Expo, Genetec will also showcase its open SaaS (software as a service) solution offering, which allows organisations to connect directly to the cloud with the latest Axis cameras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security Center SaaS takes full advantage of the Axis Cloud Connect solution and Axis Network Door Controller Powered by Genetec. Security Center SaaS enables customers to securely connect, enroll and manage Axis devices in a variety of deployment options, including direct streaming of video, metadata and access control data from the devices to the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key solutions showcased at the Show<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will showcase its latest developments within smart city management in three key areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Public safety: The Genetec unified security platform enables cities to centralise monitoring, collect digital evidence and support emergency response teams. This will improve coordination between public and private agencies, ensuring a fast and effective response.
\u2022 Urban mobility: Genetec offers video-based traffic management solutions that optimise traffic flow and improve road safety. These solutions include vehicle recognition, roadway monitoring, automated incident detection, and the facilitation of real-time decision making through advanced data analytics.
\u2022 Environmental monitoring: With the integration of video and IoT, cities can receive real-time updates on weather conditions, air quality and other environmental parameters, helping to create a more sustainable and safer urban environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A focus on partnership<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.
Exclusive Playbook: We'll be giving out an exclusive DFR playbook distilling learnings from early DFR adopters so your agency can get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec<\/a> will be present at the Smart City Expo World Congress which is to be held in Barcelona from the 5th -7th November 2024. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company will join its strategic partner, Axis Communications, in Hall 3, Stand 121, where they will present their innovative solutions designed to address today's smart city challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will emphasise its commitment to the deep unification of systems and its prominent role in improving city security and mobility efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its native open architecture platform Genetec brings together diverse systems and technologies such as video surveillance, access control, Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), communications and video analytics through one intuitive interface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This facilitates decision-making by helping operators to make sense of the data collected, thus contributing to the creation of safer and more resilient urban environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the Expo, Genetec will also showcase its open SaaS (software as a service) solution offering, which allows organisations to connect directly to the cloud with the latest Axis cameras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security Center SaaS takes full advantage of the Axis Cloud Connect solution and Axis Network Door Controller Powered by Genetec. Security Center SaaS enables customers to securely connect, enroll and manage Axis devices in a variety of deployment options, including direct streaming of video, metadata and access control data from the devices to the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key solutions showcased at the Show<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will showcase its latest developments within smart city management in three key areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Public safety: The Genetec unified security platform enables cities to centralise monitoring, collect digital evidence and support emergency response teams. This will improve coordination between public and private agencies, ensuring a fast and effective response.
\u2022 Urban mobility: Genetec offers video-based traffic management solutions that optimise traffic flow and improve road safety. These solutions include vehicle recognition, roadway monitoring, automated incident detection, and the facilitation of real-time decision making through advanced data analytics.
\u2022 Environmental monitoring: With the integration of video and IoT, cities can receive real-time updates on weather conditions, air quality and other environmental parameters, helping to create a more sustainable and safer urban environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A focus on partnership<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats.

The organiser of Intersec 2024, the world's leading trade fair for safety, security, and fire protection, is preparing to host the largest edition in the show\u2019s 25-year history.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking place from 16-18 January 2024 at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), under the theme of \u2018Innovating security tech for a quarter century\u2019, the exhibition is expecting a remarkable 20% year-on-year increase in international exhibitor participation and more than 45,000 trade visitors from around the world travelling to attend the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The silver jubilee edition of Intersec 2024 will feature increased support from key UAE Government bodies and exhibitor numbers will be up 20% on last year. All will be reinforcing the importance of safety, security and fire safety technology in the MENA region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the silver jubilee edition of Intersec will host 1,000 exhibitors from more than 60 nations, with around a quarter of these appearing for the first time. Occupying 13 halls at DWTC, the exhibition signifies a 20 per cent growth compared to 2023, reaffirming its status as a critical networking hub for global security, safety, and fire protection industries. Uniting buyers, sellers, and decision-makers, Intersec provides a dynamic nexus for networking, deal-making, and the global unveiling of cutting-edge technology and innovations in Dubai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In particular, every element of Intersec is affiliated with the relevant UAE government entities, demonstrating the commitment of the UAE Government to these important industries. Dubai Police and the Security Industry Regulatory Authority (SIRA) are affiliated with the security sector; Dubai Civil Defence with the Fire & Rescue element of Intersec; while Dubai Municipality supports the safety sector and the Cyber Security Council and Dubai Electronic Security Center (DESC) underscore the importance of the cyber sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alex Nicholl, Group Commercial Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \u201cWith two months to the largest edition of Intersec, we look forward to providing a platform for bringing the leading industry players together for three days of discovery, networking, knowledge sharing and most of all, driving the industry forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to exhibitor showcases, Intersec 2024 will continue to set the stage for a safer and more secure world with the return of its high-impact conference programmes, including the exclusive Security Leaders' Summit (ISLS)<\/a> exploring trends in sustainable security and geopolitical risk intelligence, the Cyber Security Conference<\/a>, hosted by the UAE Cybersecurity Council, delving into metaverse security and Zero Trust Architecture, and the Safety & Health Conference<\/a> emphasising workplace safety and well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the Fire & Rescue Conference, hosted by Dubai Civil Defence, will discuss strategies and best practices across topics such as emergency response planning, fire safety and compliance and community engagement. At the same time, the Thought Leadership Pavilion, hosted by the Access Control Executive Brief, will address a range of topics across a central theme of the future of the access control and smart lock industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese conferences and workshops serve as the intellectual heartbeat of Intersec, providing a platform where pressing issues are dissected, innovative solutions are unveiled, and the seeds of progress are sown,\u201d added Nicholl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event's diverse features encompass the Drone Threats & Counter Measures Workshop, the Emergency Crisis Management & Communication Workshop, live demonstrations in the Attack Zone, a catwalk show of industrial safety gear at the Safety Walk and the Future Defenders Hack Arena for students and professionals. Moreover, the Intersec Awards will recognise outstanding achievements across key sectors, and The Premium Club will provide a key networking programme for industry professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 25th edition of Intersec will encompass five broad product sections: Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, offering tailored solutions for each industry segment under one roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec<\/a> will be present at the Smart City Expo World Congress which is to be held in Barcelona from the 5th -7th November 2024. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company will join its strategic partner, Axis Communications, in Hall 3, Stand 121, where they will present their innovative solutions designed to address today's smart city challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will emphasise its commitment to the deep unification of systems and its prominent role in improving city security and mobility efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its native open architecture platform Genetec brings together diverse systems and technologies such as video surveillance, access control, Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), communications and video analytics through one intuitive interface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This facilitates decision-making by helping operators to make sense of the data collected, thus contributing to the creation of safer and more resilient urban environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the Expo, Genetec will also showcase its open SaaS (software as a service) solution offering, which allows organisations to connect directly to the cloud with the latest Axis cameras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security Center SaaS takes full advantage of the Axis Cloud Connect solution and Axis Network Door Controller Powered by Genetec. Security Center SaaS enables customers to securely connect, enroll and manage Axis devices in a variety of deployment options, including direct streaming of video, metadata and access control data from the devices to the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key solutions showcased at the Show<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will showcase its latest developments within smart city management in three key areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Public safety: The Genetec unified security platform enables cities to centralise monitoring, collect digital evidence and support emergency response teams. This will improve coordination between public and private agencies, ensuring a fast and effective response.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.
Exclusive Playbook: We'll be giving out an exclusive DFR playbook distilling learnings from early DFR adopters so your agency can get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A focus on partnership<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A record-breaking 15,336 visitors attended Intersec Saudi Arabia in 2023, and 17,000 visitors are expected at the upcoming edition. The exhibition space for Intersec Saudi Arabia 2024 has increased by 34% from 2023, covering a total area of 23,000 sqm across five halls and one outdoor showcase.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The show, which will take place from October 1-3 at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Center (RICEC), is considered as the region's leading trade fair for safety, security, and fire protection, and draws thousands of security and safety professionals from around the GCC each year to procure, learn and develop their knowledge of a rapidly growing industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking place from 16-18 January 2024 at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), under the theme of \u2018Innovating security tech for a quarter century\u2019, the exhibition is expecting a remarkable 20% year-on-year increase in international exhibitor participation and more than 45,000 trade visitors from around the world travelling to attend the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The silver jubilee edition of Intersec 2024 will feature increased support from key UAE Government bodies and exhibitor numbers will be up 20% on last year. All will be reinforcing the importance of safety, security and fire safety technology in the MENA region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the silver jubilee edition of Intersec will host 1,000 exhibitors from more than 60 nations, with around a quarter of these appearing for the first time. Occupying 13 halls at DWTC, the exhibition signifies a 20 per cent growth compared to 2023, reaffirming its status as a critical networking hub for global security, safety, and fire protection industries. Uniting buyers, sellers, and decision-makers, Intersec provides a dynamic nexus for networking, deal-making, and the global unveiling of cutting-edge technology and innovations in Dubai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In particular, every element of Intersec is affiliated with the relevant UAE government entities, demonstrating the commitment of the UAE Government to these important industries. Dubai Police and the Security Industry Regulatory Authority (SIRA) are affiliated with the security sector; Dubai Civil Defence with the Fire & Rescue element of Intersec; while Dubai Municipality supports the safety sector and the Cyber Security Council and Dubai Electronic Security Center (DESC) underscore the importance of the cyber sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alex Nicholl, Group Commercial Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \u201cWith two months to the largest edition of Intersec, we look forward to providing a platform for bringing the leading industry players together for three days of discovery, networking, knowledge sharing and most of all, driving the industry forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring.

Genetec<\/a> will be present at the Smart City Expo World Congress which is to be held in Barcelona from the 5th -7th November 2024. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company will join its strategic partner, Axis Communications, in Hall 3, Stand 121, where they will present their innovative solutions designed to address today's smart city challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will emphasise its commitment to the deep unification of systems and its prominent role in improving city security and mobility efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its native open architecture platform Genetec brings together diverse systems and technologies such as video surveillance, access control, Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), communications and video analytics through one intuitive interface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This facilitates decision-making by helping operators to make sense of the data collected, thus contributing to the creation of safer and more resilient urban environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the Expo, Genetec will also showcase its open SaaS (software as a service) solution offering, which allows organisations to connect directly to the cloud with the latest Axis cameras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security Center SaaS takes full advantage of the Axis Cloud Connect solution and Axis Network Door Controller Powered by Genetec. Security Center SaaS enables customers to securely connect, enroll and manage Axis devices in a variety of deployment options, including direct streaming of video, metadata and access control data from the devices to the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key solutions showcased at the Show<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will showcase its latest developments within smart city management in three key areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Public safety: The Genetec unified security platform enables cities to centralise monitoring, collect digital evidence and support emergency response teams. This will improve coordination between public and private agencies, ensuring a fast and effective response.
\u2022 Urban mobility: Genetec offers video-based traffic management solutions that optimise traffic flow and improve road safety.

A focus on partnership<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.
Exclusive Playbook: We'll be giving out an exclusive DFR playbook distilling learnings from early DFR adopters so your agency can get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors.

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers.

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec<\/a> will be present at the Smart City Expo World Congress which is to be held in Barcelona from the 5th -7th November 2024. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company will join its strategic partner, Axis Communications, in Hall 3, Stand 121, where they will present their innovative solutions designed to address today's smart city challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will emphasise its commitment to the deep unification of systems and its prominent role in improving city security and mobility efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its native open architecture platform Genetec brings together diverse systems and technologies such as video surveillance, access control, Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), communications and video analytics through one intuitive interface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This facilitates decision-making by helping operators to make sense of the data collected, thus contributing to the creation of safer and more resilient urban environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the Expo, Genetec will also showcase its open SaaS (software as a service) solution offering, which allows organisations to connect directly to the cloud with the latest Axis cameras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security Center SaaS takes full advantage of the Axis Cloud Connect solution and Axis Network Door Controller Powered by Genetec. Security Center SaaS enables customers to securely connect, enroll and manage Axis devices in a variety of deployment options, including direct streaming of video, metadata and access control data from the devices to the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key solutions showcased at the Show<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will showcase its latest developments within smart city management in three key areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Public safety: The Genetec unified security platform enables cities to centralise monitoring, collect digital evidence and support emergency response teams. This will improve coordination between public and private agencies, ensuring a fast and effective response.
\u2022 Urban mobility: Genetec offers video-based traffic management solutions that optimise traffic flow and improve road safety.

A focus on partnership<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

SoS was shown the specialized medium to long-range camera offerings from Silent Sentinel, a Motorola Solutions company following acquisition last year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes.

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec 2024 to welcome 1,000 exhibitors, and 45,000 visitors, and showcase cutting-edge security, safety and fire protection innovations<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.

SoS was shown the specialized medium to long-range camera offerings from Silent Sentinel, a Motorola Solutions company following acquisition last year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time.

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.

SoS was shown the specialized medium to long-range camera offerings from Silent Sentinel, a Motorola Solutions company following acquisition last year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS was shown the specialized medium to long-range camera offerings from Silent Sentinel, a Motorola Solutions company following acquisition last year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS was shown the specialized medium to long-range camera offerings from Silent Sentinel, a Motorola Solutions company following acquisition last year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.

SoS was shown the specialized medium to long-range camera offerings from Silent Sentinel, a Motorola Solutions company following acquisition last year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.

IDEMIA manufactures equipment in Normandy and has a major office in La D\u00e9fense, a Paris metropolitan area. There is an R&D centre in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arun Nair, who works in product marketing, explained how six billion passwords are stolen globally each year. He explained the high levels of identification needed at the more than 50 major banks who use IDEMIA as well as the military and pharmaceutical clients. In the banking sector, IDEMIA's software can check that a user who has identified themselves to the system is working within usual parameters in terms of transaction volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS was shown the specialized medium to long-range camera offerings from Silent Sentinel, a Motorola Solutions company following acquisition last year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients do not just benefit from virtually factoring out unauthorised entry to their sites, they can also use reports from the control software to analyse footfall around their premises and perhaps modify layouts based on these reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA manufactures equipment in Normandy and has a major office in La D\u00e9fense, a Paris metropolitan area. There is an R&D centre in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arun Nair, who works in product marketing, explained how six billion passwords are stolen globally each year. He explained the high levels of identification needed at the more than 50 major banks who use IDEMIA as well as the military and pharmaceutical clients. In the banking sector, IDEMIA's software can check that a user who has identified themselves to the system is working within usual parameters in terms of transaction volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS was shown the specialized medium to long-range camera offerings from Silent Sentinel, a Motorola Solutions company following acquisition last year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A focus on partnership<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA<\/a> is also showcasing mobile credential identification of legitimate staff with Wallet, an app on iPhones or Apple Watches. The app can give users access to a gate, door or turnstile. Apple is the go-to option here but there is also provision for Android using near-field communication (NFC) which is a short-range wireless technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients do not just benefit from virtually factoring out unauthorised entry to their sites, they can also use reports from the control software to analyse footfall around their premises and perhaps modify layouts based on these reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA manufactures equipment in Normandy and has a major office in La D\u00e9fense, a Paris metropolitan area. There is an R&D centre in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arun Nair, who works in product marketing, explained how six billion passwords are stolen globally each year. He explained the high levels of identification needed at the more than 50 major banks who use IDEMIA as well as the military and pharmaceutical clients. In the banking sector, IDEMIA's software can check that a user who has identified themselves to the system is working within usual parameters in terms of transaction volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS was shown the specialized medium to long-range camera offerings from Silent Sentinel, a Motorola Solutions company following acquisition last year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.

The company's case studies include many banks with high volume cash-handling. Data centres (also an important sector in the Middle East and set to grow significantly) usually require multiple factor identification for staff. A combination of biometrics (possibly even dual biometrics) and pin code is common. The many construction sites in the Middle East must be secured with zero chance of workers impersonating each other in order to share or change shifts without authorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA<\/a> is also showcasing mobile credential identification of legitimate staff with Wallet, an app on iPhones or Apple Watches. The app can give users access to a gate, door or turnstile. Apple is the go-to option here but there is also provision for Android using near-field communication (NFC) which is a short-range wireless technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients do not just benefit from virtually factoring out unauthorised entry to their sites, they can also use reports from the control software to analyse footfall around their premises and perhaps modify layouts based on these reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA manufactures equipment in Normandy and has a major office in La D\u00e9fense, a Paris metropolitan area. There is an R&D centre in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arun Nair, who works in product marketing, explained how six billion passwords are stolen globally each year. He explained the high levels of identification needed at the more than 50 major banks who use IDEMIA as well as the military and pharmaceutical clients. In the banking sector, IDEMIA's software can check that a user who has identified themselves to the system is working within usual parameters in terms of transaction volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS was shown the specialized medium to long-range camera offerings from Silent Sentinel, a Motorola Solutions company following acquisition last year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats.

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.

Responsive and aware of local culture, IDEMIA has the agility to focus more on biometric recognition from fingerprints in the Middle East where women employees and site visitors may have head coverings so making facial recognition problematic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's case studies include many banks with high volume cash-handling. Data centres (also an important sector in the Middle East and set to grow significantly) usually require multiple factor identification for staff. A combination of biometrics (possibly even dual biometrics) and pin code is common. The many construction sites in the Middle East must be secured with zero chance of workers impersonating each other in order to share or change shifts without authorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA<\/a> is also showcasing mobile credential identification of legitimate staff with Wallet, an app on iPhones or Apple Watches. The app can give users access to a gate, door or turnstile. Apple is the go-to option here but there is also provision for Android using near-field communication (NFC) which is a short-range wireless technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients do not just benefit from virtually factoring out unauthorised entry to their sites, they can also use reports from the control software to analyse footfall around their premises and perhaps modify layouts based on these reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA manufactures equipment in Normandy and has a major office in La D\u00e9fense, a Paris metropolitan area. There is an R&D centre in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arun Nair, who works in product marketing, explained how six billion passwords are stolen globally each year. He explained the high levels of identification needed at the more than 50 major banks who use IDEMIA as well as the military and pharmaceutical clients. In the banking sector, IDEMIA's software can check that a user who has identified themselves to the system is working within usual parameters in terms of transaction volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS was shown the specialized medium to long-range camera offerings from Silent Sentinel, a Motorola Solutions company following acquisition last year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.
Exclusive Playbook: We'll be giving out an exclusive DFR playbook distilling learnings from early DFR adopters so your agency can get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA sees facial recognition as a crucial modality. The company's offering on this is already sophisticated but is being further developed, and facial recognition can be integrated into QR codes so that as the user presents the code, a check is also done on the face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responsive and aware of local culture, IDEMIA has the agility to focus more on biometric recognition from fingerprints in the Middle East where women employees and site visitors may have head coverings so making facial recognition problematic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's case studies include many banks with high volume cash-handling. Data centres (also an important sector in the Middle East and set to grow significantly) usually require multiple factor identification for staff. A combination of biometrics (possibly even dual biometrics) and pin code is common. The many construction sites in the Middle East must be secured with zero chance of workers impersonating each other in order to share or change shifts without authorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA<\/a> is also showcasing mobile credential identification of legitimate staff with Wallet, an app on iPhones or Apple Watches. The app can give users access to a gate, door or turnstile. Apple is the go-to option here but there is also provision for Android using near-field communication (NFC) which is a short-range wireless technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients do not just benefit from virtually factoring out unauthorised entry to their sites, they can also use reports from the control software to analyse footfall around their premises and perhaps modify layouts based on these reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA manufactures equipment in Normandy and has a major office in La D\u00e9fense, a Paris metropolitan area. There is an R&D centre in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arun Nair, who works in product marketing, explained how six billion passwords are stolen globally each year. He explained the high levels of identification needed at the more than 50 major banks who use IDEMIA as well as the military and pharmaceutical clients. In the banking sector, IDEMIA's software can check that a user who has identified themselves to the system is working within usual parameters in terms of transaction volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS was shown the specialized medium to long-range camera offerings from Silent Sentinel, a Motorola Solutions company following acquisition last year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength.

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec<\/a> will be present at the Smart City Expo World Congress which is to be held in Barcelona from the 5th -7th November 2024. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company will join its strategic partner, Axis Communications, in Hall 3, Stand 121, where they will present their innovative solutions designed to address today's smart city challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security Center SaaS takes full advantage of the Axis Cloud Connect solution and Axis Network Door Controller Powered by Genetec. Security Center SaaS enables customers to securely connect, enroll and manage Axis devices in a variety of deployment options, including direct streaming of video, metadata and access control data from the devices to the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key solutions showcased at the Show<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will showcase its latest developments within smart city management in three key areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Public safety: The Genetec unified security platform enables cities to centralise monitoring, collect digital evidence and support emergency response teams. This will improve coordination between public and private agencies, ensuring a fast and effective response.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romain Verollet, a product manager with the company, explained how biometrics will always have an advantage over cards, fobs and even smart devices since potential for \"buddy punching\", passback and tailgating is eliminated. Biometrics simply cannot be shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA sees facial recognition as a crucial modality. The company's offering on this is already sophisticated but is being further developed, and facial recognition can be integrated into QR codes so that as the user presents the code, a check is also done on the face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responsive and aware of local culture, IDEMIA has the agility to focus more on biometric recognition from fingerprints in the Middle East where women employees and site visitors may have head coverings so making facial recognition problematic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's case studies include many banks with high volume cash-handling. Data centres (also an important sector in the Middle East and set to grow significantly) usually require multiple factor identification for staff. A combination of biometrics (possibly even dual biometrics) and pin code is common. The many construction sites in the Middle East must be secured with zero chance of workers impersonating each other in order to share or change shifts without authorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA<\/a> is also showcasing mobile credential identification of legitimate staff with Wallet, an app on iPhones or Apple Watches. The app can give users access to a gate, door or turnstile. Apple is the go-to option here but there is also provision for Android using near-field communication (NFC) which is a short-range wireless technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients do not just benefit from virtually factoring out unauthorised entry to their sites, they can also use reports from the control software to analyse footfall around their premises and perhaps modify layouts based on these reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA manufactures equipment in Normandy and has a major office in La D\u00e9fense, a Paris metropolitan area. There is an R&D centre in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arun Nair, who works in product marketing, explained how six billion passwords are stolen globally each year. He explained the high levels of identification needed at the more than 50 major banks who use IDEMIA as well as the military and pharmaceutical clients. In the banking sector, IDEMIA's software can check that a user who has identified themselves to the system is working within usual parameters in terms of transaction volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS was shown the specialized medium to long-range camera offerings from Silent Sentinel, a Motorola Solutions company following acquisition last year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Urban mobility: Genetec offers video-based traffic management solutions that optimise traffic flow and improve road safety. These solutions include vehicle recognition, roadway monitoring, automated incident detection, and the facilitation of real-time decision making through advanced data analytics.
\u2022 Environmental monitoring: With the integration of video and IoT, cities can receive real-time updates on weather conditions, air quality and other environmental parameters, helping to create a more sustainable and safer urban environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A focus on partnership<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.

SOS visited the company's stand at Intersec (S2 D30) to learn about how types of biometric identification are developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romain Verollet, a product manager with the company, explained how biometrics will always have an advantage over cards, fobs and even smart devices since potential for \"buddy punching\", passback and tailgating is eliminated. Biometrics simply cannot be shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA sees facial recognition as a crucial modality. The company's offering on this is already sophisticated but is being further developed, and facial recognition can be integrated into QR codes so that as the user presents the code, a check is also done on the face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responsive and aware of local culture, IDEMIA has the agility to focus more on biometric recognition from fingerprints in the Middle East where women employees and site visitors may have head coverings so making facial recognition problematic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's case studies include many banks with high volume cash-handling. Data centres (also an important sector in the Middle East and set to grow significantly) usually require multiple factor identification for staff. A combination of biometrics (possibly even dual biometrics) and pin code is common. The many construction sites in the Middle East must be secured with zero chance of workers impersonating each other in order to share or change shifts without authorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA<\/a> is also showcasing mobile credential identification of legitimate staff with Wallet, an app on iPhones or Apple Watches. The app can give users access to a gate, door or turnstile. Apple is the go-to option here but there is also provision for Android using near-field communication (NFC) which is a short-range wireless technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients do not just benefit from virtually factoring out unauthorised entry to their sites, they can also use reports from the control software to analyse footfall around their premises and perhaps modify layouts based on these reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA manufactures equipment in Normandy and has a major office in La D\u00e9fense, a Paris metropolitan area. There is an R&D centre in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arun Nair, who works in product marketing, explained how six billion passwords are stolen globally each year. He explained the high levels of identification needed at the more than 50 major banks who use IDEMIA as well as the military and pharmaceutical clients. In the banking sector, IDEMIA's software can check that a user who has identified themselves to the system is working within usual parameters in terms of transaction volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS was shown the specialized medium to long-range camera offerings from Silent Sentinel, a Motorola Solutions company following acquisition last year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A record-breaking 15,336 visitors attended Intersec Saudi Arabia in 2023, and 17,000 visitors are expected at the upcoming edition. The exhibition space for Intersec Saudi Arabia 2024 has increased by 34% from 2023, covering a total area of 23,000 sqm across five halls and one outdoor showcase.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect at IACP?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Demonstrations: Experience firsthand the capabilities of our existing drone platforms and a look at what is next.
Expert Insights: Engage with our team, including former LEOs, to understand the transformative potential of DFR in emergency response.

SOS visited the company's stand at Intersec (S2 D30) to learn about how types of biometric identification are developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romain Verollet, a product manager with the company, explained how biometrics will always have an advantage over cards, fobs and even smart devices since potential for \"buddy punching\", passback and tailgating is eliminated. Biometrics simply cannot be shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA sees facial recognition as a crucial modality. The company's offering on this is already sophisticated but is being further developed, and facial recognition can be integrated into QR codes so that as the user presents the code, a check is also done on the face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responsive and aware of local culture, IDEMIA has the agility to focus more on biometric recognition from fingerprints in the Middle East where women employees and site visitors may have head coverings so making facial recognition problematic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's case studies include many banks with high volume cash-handling. Data centres (also an important sector in the Middle East and set to grow significantly) usually require multiple factor identification for staff. A combination of biometrics (possibly even dual biometrics) and pin code is common. The many construction sites in the Middle East must be secured with zero chance of workers impersonating each other in order to share or change shifts without authorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA<\/a> is also showcasing mobile credential identification of legitimate staff with Wallet, an app on iPhones or Apple Watches. The app can give users access to a gate, door or turnstile. Apple is the go-to option here but there is also provision for Android using near-field communication (NFC) which is a short-range wireless technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients do not just benefit from virtually factoring out unauthorised entry to their sites, they can also use reports from the control software to analyse footfall around their premises and perhaps modify layouts based on these reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA manufactures equipment in Normandy and has a major office in La D\u00e9fense, a Paris metropolitan area. There is an R&D centre in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arun Nair, who works in product marketing, explained how six billion passwords are stolen globally each year. He explained the high levels of identification needed at the more than 50 major banks who use IDEMIA as well as the military and pharmaceutical clients. In the banking sector, IDEMIA's software can check that a user who has identified themselves to the system is working within usual parameters in terms of transaction volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS was shown the specialized medium to long-range camera offerings from Silent Sentinel, a Motorola Solutions company following acquisition last year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA Public Security is a manufacturer of biometric-based access control solutions with headquarters in Courbevoie, France.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SOS visited the company's stand at Intersec (S2 D30) to learn about how types of biometric identification are developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romain Verollet, a product manager with the company, explained how biometrics will always have an advantage over cards, fobs and even smart devices since potential for \"buddy punching\", passback and tailgating is eliminated. Biometrics simply cannot be shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA sees facial recognition as a crucial modality. The company's offering on this is already sophisticated but is being further developed, and facial recognition can be integrated into QR codes so that as the user presents the code, a check is also done on the face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responsive and aware of local culture, IDEMIA has the agility to focus more on biometric recognition from fingerprints in the Middle East where women employees and site visitors may have head coverings so making facial recognition problematic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's case studies include many banks with high volume cash-handling. Data centres (also an important sector in the Middle East and set to grow significantly) usually require multiple factor identification for staff. A combination of biometrics (possibly even dual biometrics) and pin code is common. The many construction sites in the Middle East must be secured with zero chance of workers impersonating each other in order to share or change shifts without authorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA<\/a> is also showcasing mobile credential identification of legitimate staff with Wallet, an app on iPhones or Apple Watches. The app can give users access to a gate, door or turnstile. Apple is the go-to option here but there is also provision for Android using near-field communication (NFC) which is a short-range wireless technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients do not just benefit from virtually factoring out unauthorised entry to their sites, they can also use reports from the control software to analyse footfall around their premises and perhaps modify layouts based on these reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA manufactures equipment in Normandy and has a major office in La D\u00e9fense, a Paris metropolitan area. There is an R&D centre in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arun Nair, who works in product marketing, explained how six billion passwords are stolen globally each year. He explained the high levels of identification needed at the more than 50 major banks who use IDEMIA as well as the military and pharmaceutical clients. In the banking sector, IDEMIA's software can check that a user who has identified themselves to the system is working within usual parameters in terms of transaction volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS was shown the specialized medium to long-range camera offerings from Silent Sentinel, a Motorola Solutions company following acquisition last year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA Public Security is a manufacturer of biometric-based access control solutions with headquarters in Courbevoie, France.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SOS visited the company's stand at Intersec (S2 D30) to learn about how types of biometric identification are developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romain Verollet, a product manager with the company, explained how biometrics will always have an advantage over cards, fobs and even smart devices since potential for \"buddy punching\", passback and tailgating is eliminated. Biometrics simply cannot be shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA sees facial recognition as a crucial modality. The company's offering on this is already sophisticated but is being further developed, and facial recognition can be integrated into QR codes so that as the user presents the code, a check is also done on the face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responsive and aware of local culture, IDEMIA has the agility to focus more on biometric recognition from fingerprints in the Middle East where women employees and site visitors may have head coverings so making facial recognition problematic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's case studies include many banks with high volume cash-handling. Data centres (also an important sector in the Middle East and set to grow significantly) usually require multiple factor identification for staff. A combination of biometrics (possibly even dual biometrics) and pin code is common. The many construction sites in the Middle East must be secured with zero chance of workers impersonating each other in order to share or change shifts without authorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA<\/a> is also showcasing mobile credential identification of legitimate staff with Wallet, an app on iPhones or Apple Watches. The app can give users access to a gate, door or turnstile. Apple is the go-to option here but there is also provision for Android using near-field communication (NFC) which is a short-range wireless technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients do not just benefit from virtually factoring out unauthorised entry to their sites, they can also use reports from the control software to analyse footfall around their premises and perhaps modify layouts based on these reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA manufactures equipment in Normandy and has a major office in La D\u00e9fense, a Paris metropolitan area. There is an R&D centre in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arun Nair, who works in product marketing, explained how six billion passwords are stolen globally each year. He explained the high levels of identification needed at the more than 50 major banks who use IDEMIA as well as the military and pharmaceutical clients. In the banking sector, IDEMIA's software can check that a user who has identified themselves to the system is working within usual parameters in terms of transaction volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS was shown the specialized medium to long-range camera offerings from Silent Sentinel, a Motorola Solutions company following acquisition last year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA Public Security is a manufacturer of biometric-based access control solutions with headquarters in Courbevoie, France.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SOS visited the company's stand at Intersec (S2 D30) to learn about how types of biometric identification are developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romain Verollet, a product manager with the company, explained how biometrics will always have an advantage over cards, fobs and even smart devices since potential for \"buddy punching\", passback and tailgating is eliminated. Biometrics simply cannot be shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA sees facial recognition as a crucial modality. The company's offering on this is already sophisticated but is being further developed, and facial recognition can be integrated into QR codes so that as the user presents the code, a check is also done on the face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responsive and aware of local culture, IDEMIA has the agility to focus more on biometric recognition from fingerprints in the Middle East where women employees and site visitors may have head coverings so making facial recognition problematic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's case studies include many banks with high volume cash-handling. Data centres (also an important sector in the Middle East and set to grow significantly) usually require multiple factor identification for staff. A combination of biometrics (possibly even dual biometrics) and pin code is common. The many construction sites in the Middle East must be secured with zero chance of workers impersonating each other in order to share or change shifts without authorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA<\/a> is also showcasing mobile credential identification of legitimate staff with Wallet, an app on iPhones or Apple Watches. The app can give users access to a gate, door or turnstile. Apple is the go-to option here but there is also provision for Android using near-field communication (NFC) which is a short-range wireless technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients do not just benefit from virtually factoring out unauthorised entry to their sites, they can also use reports from the control software to analyse footfall around their premises and perhaps modify layouts based on these reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA manufactures equipment in Normandy and has a major office in La D\u00e9fense, a Paris metropolitan area. There is an R&D centre in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arun Nair, who works in product marketing, explained how six billion passwords are stolen globally each year. He explained the high levels of identification needed at the more than 50 major banks who use IDEMIA as well as the military and pharmaceutical clients. In the banking sector, IDEMIA's software can check that a user who has identified themselves to the system is working within usual parameters in terms of transaction volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS was shown the specialized medium to long-range camera offerings from Silent Sentinel, a Motorola Solutions company following acquisition last year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time.

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA Public Security is a manufacturer of biometric-based access control solutions with headquarters in Courbevoie, France.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SOS visited the company's stand at Intersec (S2 D30) to learn about how types of biometric identification are developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romain Verollet, a product manager with the company, explained how biometrics will always have an advantage over cards, fobs and even smart devices since potential for \"buddy punching\", passback and tailgating is eliminated. Biometrics simply cannot be shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA sees facial recognition as a crucial modality. The company's offering on this is already sophisticated but is being further developed, and facial recognition can be integrated into QR codes so that as the user presents the code, a check is also done on the face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responsive and aware of local culture, IDEMIA has the agility to focus more on biometric recognition from fingerprints in the Middle East where women employees and site visitors may have head coverings so making facial recognition problematic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's case studies include many banks with high volume cash-handling. Data centres (also an important sector in the Middle East and set to grow significantly) usually require multiple factor identification for staff. A combination of biometrics (possibly even dual biometrics) and pin code is common. The many construction sites in the Middle East must be secured with zero chance of workers impersonating each other in order to share or change shifts without authorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA<\/a> is also showcasing mobile credential identification of legitimate staff with Wallet, an app on iPhones or Apple Watches. The app can give users access to a gate, door or turnstile. Apple is the go-to option here but there is also provision for Android using near-field communication (NFC) which is a short-range wireless technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients do not just benefit from virtually factoring out unauthorised entry to their sites, they can also use reports from the control software to analyse footfall around their premises and perhaps modify layouts based on these reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA manufactures equipment in Normandy and has a major office in La D\u00e9fense, a Paris metropolitan area. There is an R&D centre in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arun Nair, who works in product marketing, explained how six billion passwords are stolen globally each year. He explained the high levels of identification needed at the more than 50 major banks who use IDEMIA as well as the military and pharmaceutical clients. In the banking sector, IDEMIA's software can check that a user who has identified themselves to the system is working within usual parameters in terms of transaction volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS was shown the specialized medium to long-range camera offerings from Silent Sentinel, a Motorola Solutions company following acquisition last year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec<\/a> will be present at the Smart City Expo World Congress which is to be held in Barcelona from the 5th -7th November 2024. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company will join its strategic partner, Axis Communications, in Hall 3, Stand 121, where they will present their innovative solutions designed to address today's smart city challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security Center SaaS takes full advantage of the Axis Cloud Connect solution and Axis Network Door Controller Powered by Genetec. Security Center SaaS enables customers to securely connect, enroll and manage Axis devices in a variety of deployment options, including direct streaming of video, metadata and access control data from the devices to the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key solutions showcased at the Show<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will showcase its latest developments within smart city management in three key areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Public safety: The Genetec unified security platform enables cities to centralise monitoring, collect digital evidence and support emergency response teams. This will improve coordination between public and private agencies, ensuring a fast and effective response.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA Public Security is a manufacturer of biometric-based access control solutions with headquarters in Courbevoie, France.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SOS visited the company's stand at Intersec (S2 D30) to learn about how types of biometric identification are developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romain Verollet, a product manager with the company, explained how biometrics will always have an advantage over cards, fobs and even smart devices since potential for \"buddy punching\", passback and tailgating is eliminated. Biometrics simply cannot be shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA sees facial recognition as a crucial modality. The company's offering on this is already sophisticated but is being further developed, and facial recognition can be integrated into QR codes so that as the user presents the code, a check is also done on the face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responsive and aware of local culture, IDEMIA has the agility to focus more on biometric recognition from fingerprints in the Middle East where women employees and site visitors may have head coverings so making facial recognition problematic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's case studies include many banks with high volume cash-handling. Data centres (also an important sector in the Middle East and set to grow significantly) usually require multiple factor identification for staff. A combination of biometrics (possibly even dual biometrics) and pin code is common. The many construction sites in the Middle East must be secured with zero chance of workers impersonating each other in order to share or change shifts without authorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA<\/a> is also showcasing mobile credential identification of legitimate staff with Wallet, an app on iPhones or Apple Watches. The app can give users access to a gate, door or turnstile. Apple is the go-to option here but there is also provision for Android using near-field communication (NFC) which is a short-range wireless technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients do not just benefit from virtually factoring out unauthorised entry to their sites, they can also use reports from the control software to analyse footfall around their premises and perhaps modify layouts based on these reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA manufactures equipment in Normandy and has a major office in La D\u00e9fense, a Paris metropolitan area. There is an R&D centre in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arun Nair, who works in product marketing, explained how six billion passwords are stolen globally each year. He explained the high levels of identification needed at the more than 50 major banks who use IDEMIA as well as the military and pharmaceutical clients. In the banking sector, IDEMIA's software can check that a user who has identified themselves to the system is working within usual parameters in terms of transaction volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS was shown the specialized medium to long-range camera offerings from Silent Sentinel, a Motorola Solutions company following acquisition last year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA Public Security is a manufacturer of biometric-based access control solutions with headquarters in Courbevoie, France.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SOS visited the company's stand at Intersec (S2 D30) to learn about how types of biometric identification are developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romain Verollet, a product manager with the company, explained how biometrics will always have an advantage over cards, fobs and even smart devices since potential for \"buddy punching\", passback and tailgating is eliminated. Biometrics simply cannot be shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA sees facial recognition as a crucial modality. The company's offering on this is already sophisticated but is being further developed, and facial recognition can be integrated into QR codes so that as the user presents the code, a check is also done on the face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responsive and aware of local culture, IDEMIA has the agility to focus more on biometric recognition from fingerprints in the Middle East where women employees and site visitors may have head coverings so making facial recognition problematic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's case studies include many banks with high volume cash-handling. Data centres (also an important sector in the Middle East and set to grow significantly) usually require multiple factor identification for staff. A combination of biometrics (possibly even dual biometrics) and pin code is common. The many construction sites in the Middle East must be secured with zero chance of workers impersonating each other in order to share or change shifts without authorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA<\/a> is also showcasing mobile credential identification of legitimate staff with Wallet, an app on iPhones or Apple Watches. The app can give users access to a gate, door or turnstile. Apple is the go-to option here but there is also provision for Android using near-field communication (NFC) which is a short-range wireless technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients do not just benefit from virtually factoring out unauthorised entry to their sites, they can also use reports from the control software to analyse footfall around their premises and perhaps modify layouts based on these reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA manufactures equipment in Normandy and has a major office in La D\u00e9fense, a Paris metropolitan area. There is an R&D centre in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arun Nair, who works in product marketing, explained how six billion passwords are stolen globally each year. He explained the high levels of identification needed at the more than 50 major banks who use IDEMIA as well as the military and pharmaceutical clients. In the banking sector, IDEMIA's software can check that a user who has identified themselves to the system is working within usual parameters in terms of transaction volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS was shown the specialized medium to long-range camera offerings from Silent Sentinel, a Motorola Solutions company following acquisition last year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A focus on partnership<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec has also employed centralised security platforms in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and Albuquerque (USA), improving incident response time and public safety management. These success stories, amongst others will be presented at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec invites Smart City Expo World Congress attendees to visit the Axis Communications booth (Hall 3, Booth 121) to discover how their joint solutions can help the advancement of safety, efficiency and connectivity within cities around the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA Public Security is a manufacturer of biometric-based access control solutions with headquarters in Courbevoie, France.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SOS visited the company's stand at Intersec (S2 D30) to learn about how types of biometric identification are developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romain Verollet, a product manager with the company, explained how biometrics will always have an advantage over cards, fobs and even smart devices since potential for \"buddy punching\", passback and tailgating is eliminated. Biometrics simply cannot be shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA sees facial recognition as a crucial modality. The company's offering on this is already sophisticated but is being further developed, and facial recognition can be integrated into QR codes so that as the user presents the code, a check is also done on the face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responsive and aware of local culture, IDEMIA has the agility to focus more on biometric recognition from fingerprints in the Middle East where women employees and site visitors may have head coverings so making facial recognition problematic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's case studies include many banks with high volume cash-handling. Data centres (also an important sector in the Middle East and set to grow significantly) usually require multiple factor identification for staff. A combination of biometrics (possibly even dual biometrics) and pin code is common. The many construction sites in the Middle East must be secured with zero chance of workers impersonating each other in order to share or change shifts without authorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA<\/a> is also showcasing mobile credential identification of legitimate staff with Wallet, an app on iPhones or Apple Watches. The app can give users access to a gate, door or turnstile. Apple is the go-to option here but there is also provision for Android using near-field communication (NFC) which is a short-range wireless technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients do not just benefit from virtually factoring out unauthorised entry to their sites, they can also use reports from the control software to analyse footfall around their premises and perhaps modify layouts based on these reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA manufactures equipment in Normandy and has a major office in La D\u00e9fense, a Paris metropolitan area. There is an R&D centre in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arun Nair, who works in product marketing, explained how six billion passwords are stolen globally each year. He explained the high levels of identification needed at the more than 50 major banks who use IDEMIA as well as the military and pharmaceutical clients. In the banking sector, IDEMIA's software can check that a user who has identified themselves to the system is working within usual parameters in terms of transaction volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS was shown the specialized medium to long-range camera offerings from Silent Sentinel, a Motorola Solutions company following acquisition last year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec<\/a> will be present at the Smart City Expo World Congress which is to be held in Barcelona from the 5th -7th November 2024. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company will join its strategic partner, Axis Communications, in Hall 3, Stand 121, where they will present their innovative solutions designed to address today's smart city challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will emphasise its commitment to the deep unification of systems and its prominent role in improving city security and mobility efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its native open architecture platform Genetec brings together diverse systems and technologies such as video surveillance, access control, Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), communications and video analytics through one intuitive interface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This facilitates decision-making by helping operators to make sense of the data collected, thus contributing to the creation of safer and more resilient urban environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the Expo, Genetec will also showcase its open SaaS (software as a service) solution offering, which allows organisations to connect directly to the cloud with the latest Axis cameras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security Center SaaS takes full advantage of the Axis Cloud Connect solution and Axis Network Door Controller Powered by Genetec. Security Center SaaS enables customers to securely connect, enroll and manage Axis devices in a variety of deployment options, including direct streaming of video, metadata and access control data from the devices to the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key solutions showcased at the Show<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec will showcase its latest developments within smart city management in three key areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Public safety: The Genetec unified security platform enables cities to centralise monitoring, collect digital evidence and support emergency response teams. This will improve coordination between public and private agencies, ensuring a fast and effective response.
\u2022 Urban mobility: Genetec offers video-based traffic management solutions that optimise traffic flow and improve road safety. These solutions include vehicle recognition, roadway monitoring, automated incident detection, and the facilitation of real-time decision making through advanced data analytics.
\u2022 Environmental monitoring: With the integration of video and IoT, cities can receive real-time updates on weather conditions, air quality and other environmental parameters, helping to create a more sustainable and safer urban environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A focus on partnership<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's participation in the event is part of its strategy to collaborate with key partners such as Axis Communications, to deliver innovative and scalable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These solutions aim to help cities overcome data fragmentation and work more efficiently whilst promoting privacy protection as a fundamental aspect of handling sensitive data in urban environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This synergy between Genetec solutions and Axis products such as network cameras, access controls and communications solutions, result in an infrastructure for smart cities that prioritises security and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"In partnership with Axis, the Smart City Expo World Congress will be a great occasion for Genetec to showcase our latest innovations and, in particular, the benefits of our unique unified approach whereby cities can - using a single platform - have a comprehensive way to manage their entire security: from security to IoT management, from data-driven decisions to enhanced mobility, designed with privacy and cybersecurity at its core,\" Cyrille Becker, Managing Director EMEA at Genetec, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An open platform and a strong network of Partners are two of the pillars on which Axis success has been built upon over the past 40 years,\" added Andrea Sorri, EMEA Business Development Manager, Cities at Axis. \"It is exciting for us to have Genetec join us at Smart City Expo World Congress to present concrete examples of a platform integration that enables increasingly advanced use cases, but at the same time it is simple to use for city authorities\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case studies<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetec's commitment to the creation of secure and more efficient cities is reflected in its success stories from around the world. One example being the implementation of their unified solutions in the London Borough of Harrow, where a traffic control room was opened to monitor incidents and ensure prompt responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA Public Security is a manufacturer of biometric-based access control solutions with headquarters in Courbevoie, France.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SOS visited the company's stand at Intersec (S2 D30) to learn about how types of biometric identification are developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romain Verollet, a product manager with the company, explained how biometrics will always have an advantage over cards, fobs and even smart devices since potential for \"buddy punching\", passback and tailgating is eliminated. Biometrics simply cannot be shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA sees facial recognition as a crucial modality. The company's offering on this is already sophisticated but is being further developed, and facial recognition can be integrated into QR codes so that as the user presents the code, a check is also done on the face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responsive and aware of local culture, IDEMIA has the agility to focus more on biometric recognition from fingerprints in the Middle East where women employees and site visitors may have head coverings so making facial recognition problematic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's case studies include many banks with high volume cash-handling. Data centres (also an important sector in the Middle East and set to grow significantly) usually require multiple factor identification for staff. A combination of biometrics (possibly even dual biometrics) and pin code is common. The many construction sites in the Middle East must be secured with zero chance of workers impersonating each other in order to share or change shifts without authorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA<\/a> is also showcasing mobile credential identification of legitimate staff with Wallet, an app on iPhones or Apple Watches. The app can give users access to a gate, door or turnstile. Apple is the go-to option here but there is also provision for Android using near-field communication (NFC) which is a short-range wireless technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients do not just benefit from virtually factoring out unauthorised entry to their sites, they can also use reports from the control software to analyse footfall around their premises and perhaps modify layouts based on these reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA manufactures equipment in Normandy and has a major office in La D\u00e9fense, a Paris metropolitan area. There is an R&D centre in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arun Nair, who works in product marketing, explained how six billion passwords are stolen globally each year. He explained the high levels of identification needed at the more than 50 major banks who use IDEMIA as well as the military and pharmaceutical clients. In the banking sector, IDEMIA's software can check that a user who has identified themselves to the system is working within usual parameters in terms of transaction volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS was shown the specialized medium to long-range camera offerings from Silent Sentinel, a Motorola Solutions company following acquisition last year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A record-breaking 15,336 visitors attended Intersec Saudi Arabia in 2023, and 17,000 visitors are expected at the upcoming edition. The exhibition space for Intersec Saudi Arabia 2024 has increased by 34% from 2023, covering a total area of 23,000 sqm across five halls and one outdoor showcase.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA Public Security is a manufacturer of biometric-based access control solutions with headquarters in Courbevoie, France.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SOS visited the company's stand at Intersec (S2 D30) to learn about how types of biometric identification are developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romain Verollet, a product manager with the company, explained how biometrics will always have an advantage over cards, fobs and even smart devices since potential for \"buddy punching\", passback and tailgating is eliminated. Biometrics simply cannot be shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA sees facial recognition as a crucial modality. The company's offering on this is already sophisticated but is being further developed, and facial recognition can be integrated into QR codes so that as the user presents the code, a check is also done on the face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responsive and aware of local culture, IDEMIA has the agility to focus more on biometric recognition from fingerprints in the Middle East where women employees and site visitors may have head coverings so making facial recognition problematic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's case studies include many banks with high volume cash-handling. Data centres (also an important sector in the Middle East and set to grow significantly) usually require multiple factor identification for staff. A combination of biometrics (possibly even dual biometrics) and pin code is common. The many construction sites in the Middle East must be secured with zero chance of workers impersonating each other in order to share or change shifts without authorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA<\/a> is also showcasing mobile credential identification of legitimate staff with Wallet, an app on iPhones or Apple Watches. The app can give users access to a gate, door or turnstile. Apple is the go-to option here but there is also provision for Android using near-field communication (NFC) which is a short-range wireless technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients do not just benefit from virtually factoring out unauthorised entry to their sites, they can also use reports from the control software to analyse footfall around their premises and perhaps modify layouts based on these reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA manufactures equipment in Normandy and has a major office in La D\u00e9fense, a Paris metropolitan area. There is an R&D centre in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arun Nair, who works in product marketing, explained how six billion passwords are stolen globally each year. He explained the high levels of identification needed at the more than 50 major banks who use IDEMIA as well as the military and pharmaceutical clients. In the banking sector, IDEMIA's software can check that a user who has identified themselves to the system is working within usual parameters in terms of transaction volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS was shown the specialized medium to long-range camera offerings from Silent Sentinel, a Motorola Solutions company following acquisition last year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA Public Security is a manufacturer of biometric-based access control solutions with headquarters in Courbevoie, France.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SOS visited the company's stand at Intersec (S2 D30) to learn about how types of biometric identification are developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romain Verollet, a product manager with the company, explained how biometrics will always have an advantage over cards, fobs and even smart devices since potential for \"buddy punching\", passback and tailgating is eliminated. Biometrics simply cannot be shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA sees facial recognition as a crucial modality. The company's offering on this is already sophisticated but is being further developed, and facial recognition can be integrated into QR codes so that as the user presents the code, a check is also done on the face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responsive and aware of local culture, IDEMIA has the agility to focus more on biometric recognition from fingerprints in the Middle East where women employees and site visitors may have head coverings so making facial recognition problematic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's case studies include many banks with high volume cash-handling. Data centres (also an important sector in the Middle East and set to grow significantly) usually require multiple factor identification for staff. A combination of biometrics (possibly even dual biometrics) and pin code is common. The many construction sites in the Middle East must be secured with zero chance of workers impersonating each other in order to share or change shifts without authorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA<\/a> is also showcasing mobile credential identification of legitimate staff with Wallet, an app on iPhones or Apple Watches. The app can give users access to a gate, door or turnstile. Apple is the go-to option here but there is also provision for Android using near-field communication (NFC) which is a short-range wireless technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients do not just benefit from virtually factoring out unauthorised entry to their sites, they can also use reports from the control software to analyse footfall around their premises and perhaps modify layouts based on these reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA manufactures equipment in Normandy and has a major office in La D\u00e9fense, a Paris metropolitan area. There is an R&D centre in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arun Nair, who works in product marketing, explained how six billion passwords are stolen globally each year. He explained the high levels of identification needed at the more than 50 major banks who use IDEMIA as well as the military and pharmaceutical clients. In the banking sector, IDEMIA's software can check that a user who has identified themselves to the system is working within usual parameters in terms of transaction volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS was shown the specialized medium to long-range camera offerings from Silent Sentinel, a Motorola Solutions company following acquisition last year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA Public Security is a manufacturer of biometric-based access control solutions with headquarters in Courbevoie, France.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SOS visited the company's stand at Intersec (S2 D30) to learn about how types of biometric identification are developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romain Verollet, a product manager with the company, explained how biometrics will always have an advantage over cards, fobs and even smart devices since potential for \"buddy punching\", passback and tailgating is eliminated. Biometrics simply cannot be shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA sees facial recognition as a crucial modality. The company's offering on this is already sophisticated but is being further developed, and facial recognition can be integrated into QR codes so that as the user presents the code, a check is also done on the face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responsive and aware of local culture, IDEMIA has the agility to focus more on biometric recognition from fingerprints in the Middle East where women employees and site visitors may have head coverings so making facial recognition problematic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's case studies include many banks with high volume cash-handling. Data centres (also an important sector in the Middle East and set to grow significantly) usually require multiple factor identification for staff. A combination of biometrics (possibly even dual biometrics) and pin code is common. The many construction sites in the Middle East must be secured with zero chance of workers impersonating each other in order to share or change shifts without authorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA<\/a> is also showcasing mobile credential identification of legitimate staff with Wallet, an app on iPhones or Apple Watches. The app can give users access to a gate, door or turnstile. Apple is the go-to option here but there is also provision for Android using near-field communication (NFC) which is a short-range wireless technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients do not just benefit from virtually factoring out unauthorised entry to their sites, they can also use reports from the control software to analyse footfall around their premises and perhaps modify layouts based on these reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA manufactures equipment in Normandy and has a major office in La D\u00e9fense, a Paris metropolitan area. There is an R&D centre in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arun Nair, who works in product marketing, explained how six billion passwords are stolen globally each year. He explained the high levels of identification needed at the more than 50 major banks who use IDEMIA as well as the military and pharmaceutical clients. In the banking sector, IDEMIA's software can check that a user who has identified themselves to the system is working within usual parameters in terms of transaction volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS was shown the specialized medium to long-range camera offerings from Silent Sentinel, a Motorola Solutions company following acquisition last year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA Public Security is a manufacturer of biometric-based access control solutions with headquarters in Courbevoie, France.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SOS visited the company's stand at Intersec (S2 D30) to learn about how types of biometric identification are developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romain Verollet, a product manager with the company, explained how biometrics will always have an advantage over cards, fobs and even smart devices since potential for \"buddy punching\", passback and tailgating is eliminated. Biometrics simply cannot be shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA sees facial recognition as a crucial modality. The company's offering on this is already sophisticated but is being further developed, and facial recognition can be integrated into QR codes so that as the user presents the code, a check is also done on the face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responsive and aware of local culture, IDEMIA has the agility to focus more on biometric recognition from fingerprints in the Middle East where women employees and site visitors may have head coverings so making facial recognition problematic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's case studies include many banks with high volume cash-handling. Data centres (also an important sector in the Middle East and set to grow significantly) usually require multiple factor identification for staff. A combination of biometrics (possibly even dual biometrics) and pin code is common. The many construction sites in the Middle East must be secured with zero chance of workers impersonating each other in order to share or change shifts without authorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA<\/a> is also showcasing mobile credential identification of legitimate staff with Wallet, an app on iPhones or Apple Watches. The app can give users access to a gate, door or turnstile. Apple is the go-to option here but there is also provision for Android using near-field communication (NFC) which is a short-range wireless technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients do not just benefit from virtually factoring out unauthorised entry to their sites, they can also use reports from the control software to analyse footfall around their premises and perhaps modify layouts based on these reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA manufactures equipment in Normandy and has a major office in La D\u00e9fense, a Paris metropolitan area. There is an R&D centre in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arun Nair, who works in product marketing, explained how six billion passwords are stolen globally each year. He explained the high levels of identification needed at the more than 50 major banks who use IDEMIA as well as the military and pharmaceutical clients. In the banking sector, IDEMIA's software can check that a user who has identified themselves to the system is working within usual parameters in terms of transaction volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS was shown the specialized medium to long-range camera offerings from Silent Sentinel, a Motorola Solutions company following acquisition last year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA Public Security is a manufacturer of biometric-based access control solutions with headquarters in Courbevoie, France.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SOS visited the company's stand at Intersec (S2 D30) to learn about how types of biometric identification are developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romain Verollet, a product manager with the company, explained how biometrics will always have an advantage over cards, fobs and even smart devices since potential for \"buddy punching\", passback and tailgating is eliminated. Biometrics simply cannot be shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA sees facial recognition as a crucial modality. The company's offering on this is already sophisticated but is being further developed, and facial recognition can be integrated into QR codes so that as the user presents the code, a check is also done on the face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responsive and aware of local culture, IDEMIA has the agility to focus more on biometric recognition from fingerprints in the Middle East where women employees and site visitors may have head coverings so making facial recognition problematic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's case studies include many banks with high volume cash-handling. Data centres (also an important sector in the Middle East and set to grow significantly) usually require multiple factor identification for staff. A combination of biometrics (possibly even dual biometrics) and pin code is common. The many construction sites in the Middle East must be secured with zero chance of workers impersonating each other in order to share or change shifts without authorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA<\/a> is also showcasing mobile credential identification of legitimate staff with Wallet, an app on iPhones or Apple Watches. The app can give users access to a gate, door or turnstile. Apple is the go-to option here but there is also provision for Android using near-field communication (NFC) which is a short-range wireless technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients do not just benefit from virtually factoring out unauthorised entry to their sites, they can also use reports from the control software to analyse footfall around their premises and perhaps modify layouts based on these reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA manufactures equipment in Normandy and has a major office in La D\u00e9fense, a Paris metropolitan area. There is an R&D centre in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arun Nair, who works in product marketing, explained how six billion passwords are stolen globally each year. He explained the high levels of identification needed at the more than 50 major banks who use IDEMIA as well as the military and pharmaceutical clients. In the banking sector, IDEMIA's software can check that a user who has identified themselves to the system is working within usual parameters in terms of transaction volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS was shown the specialized medium to long-range camera offerings from Silent Sentinel, a Motorola Solutions company following acquisition last year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA Public Security is a manufacturer of biometric-based access control solutions with headquarters in Courbevoie, France.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SOS visited the company's stand at Intersec (S2 D30) to learn about how types of biometric identification are developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romain Verollet, a product manager with the company, explained how biometrics will always have an advantage over cards, fobs and even smart devices since potential for \"buddy punching\", passback and tailgating is eliminated. Biometrics simply cannot be shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA sees facial recognition as a crucial modality. The company's offering on this is already sophisticated but is being further developed, and facial recognition can be integrated into QR codes so that as the user presents the code, a check is also done on the face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responsive and aware of local culture, IDEMIA has the agility to focus more on biometric recognition from fingerprints in the Middle East where women employees and site visitors may have head coverings so making facial recognition problematic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's case studies include many banks with high volume cash-handling. Data centres (also an important sector in the Middle East and set to grow significantly) usually require multiple factor identification for staff. A combination of biometrics (possibly even dual biometrics) and pin code is common. The many construction sites in the Middle East must be secured with zero chance of workers impersonating each other in order to share or change shifts without authorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA<\/a> is also showcasing mobile credential identification of legitimate staff with Wallet, an app on iPhones or Apple Watches. The app can give users access to a gate, door or turnstile. Apple is the go-to option here but there is also provision for Android using near-field communication (NFC) which is a short-range wireless technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients do not just benefit from virtually factoring out unauthorised entry to their sites, they can also use reports from the control software to analyse footfall around their premises and perhaps modify layouts based on these reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDEMIA manufactures equipment in Normandy and has a major office in La D\u00e9fense, a Paris metropolitan area. There is an R&D centre in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arun Nair, who works in product marketing, explained how six billion passwords are stolen globally each year. He explained the high levels of identification needed at the more than 50 major banks who use IDEMIA as well as the military and pharmaceutical clients. In the banking sector, IDEMIA's software can check that a user who has identified themselves to the system is working within usual parameters in terms of transaction volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS was shown the specialized medium to long-range camera offerings from Silent Sentinel, a Motorola Solutions company following acquisition last year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On stand SA C11, Rob Turner (sales manager Europe\/South Africa\/Oceania) explained how the cameras (they often combine thermal imaging and visible) are used in high-security environments such as international borders, maritime sites and critical national infrastructure such as oil & gas. This last sector is obviously of interest to visitors to Intersec [@messefrankfurt]. Many of these niches come under Homeland Security which is the broad target area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thermal cameras can be both cooled and uncooled and they feature leading-edge electro-optical (EO) sensors. Few orders are simply for off-the-shelf supply; Motorola is responsive in customizing a combination of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob is talking to many airport, military and police clients across the Middle East. He shows me a camera which the company claims can operate on a thermal basis to 5kms. He notes that the range includes a thermal unit which is said to be able to detect a car at 50kms. Mitigating the threat from drones is a topical issue, and Rob mentions that some of the cameras are said to be able to tilt through 150 degrees in a second, this kind of movement speed being vital with drone threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-ons can include laser dazzlers, acoustic hailers and loudspeakers. Motorola<\/a> is developing close links with the major manufacturers of perimeter protection so that the two product offerings can complement each other and be used together at high profile sites. There is similar collaboration with radar companies specializing in security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob notes that apart from the obvious focus on oil & gas, another aspect of the Middle East market is the sheer amount of space<\/em>; clients have huge estates to secure and thermal is often the way to go. Motorola is highly collaborative with other major brands and there is technical cooperation with Pelco (also a Motorola Solutions acquisition in 2020), Avigilon, Genetec and Milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may well become a case of the last man standing. There remain only two or three genuine (vendor-agnostic) companies who are dedicated to developing intelligent scene analysis algorithms.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS caught up with Chalon Dilber who is BDM for the MENA region at VCA Technology. On its Intersec stand (SA H31) [@VCAtechnology] the company can indisputably show that they are a true developer of software that can turn camera feeds into actionable data - making sense of what the camera has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of predatory mergers and acquisitions has seen almost all the true developers of video analytics bought up by camera manufacturers and VMS developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chalon sees analytics as an instance of applied intelligence. He takes pride in the fact that VCA Technology can work with any headend system, extracting meaningful incidents from camera feeds for both retrospective analysis and proactive intervention while an incident is occurring. \"Openness\" is a watchword at VCA and it runs through the whole platform - from software to user guides to software development kits (SDKs). Resources are simply open to download and analyse by partners as they work together on solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata is open standards compliant, with ONVIF being a significant part of the company's general roadmap to ease compatibility with third parties. \"Proprietary\" is not a word in the VCA Technology dictionary. Integration with just about every conceivable VMS and PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) platform is achievable and indeed, a given. This covers everything from camera selection to alerts on atypical behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VCA Technology<\/a> approach is proving particularly valuable in vertical markets which require flexibility. This can be sites with intense vehicle traffic where VCA excel at ANPR, factory automation with analytics reporting on anything unusual in a batch of products or behaviour of machinery, to contributing to the intelligence required for integrating diverse infrastructure within safe or smart cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Killer apps\" is the phrase that Chalon decides on as he describes this. The analytics can also reduce shrinkage (theft) in retail environments or simply allow site owners to analyse footfall and optimize their store layouts in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is figure-driven, to the extent of reporting on, say, the number of illegal 'U' turns in a part of a city on a given day or across a week so helping city planners and transport authorities. Many companies across the halls of Intersec describe themselves as being true integration partners with fellow technology vendors. VCA's claims in this area are powerful and demonstrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slovenia-based access control manufacturer Sigur (stand S1-F32) develops its products from the roots up, an approach that allows it to distinguish its hardware, credential mechanisms and control software from those of conglomerate competitors. The company excels in terms of responsiveness to end-user demands and the aesthetic appeal of visible hardware which always blends in with the built environment.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unreflective of the crowd\" was the phrase used to SoS as we asked about how the company distinguishes itself from what seemed like a whole aisle of similar manufacturers at Dubai World Trade Centre. Sigur also realizes that its smaller clients may well be new entrepreneurs setting up a business and its product suite has the flexibility to shape itself to evolving on-site needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur<\/a> was showing traditional card or fob-based terminals alongside biometric readers using facial scanning that exploits neural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is the norm now, the access control offering doubles as visitor management, and Sigur takes pride in its case studies at properties such as business centres with high visitor flows. A focus here is the automation of guest pass management without compromising security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigur is able to ease both end-users and integrator partners past pain points when an individual customer throws up unusual demands in terms of visitor flow or layout. Software seeks to minimize the potential for human error when issuing passes. Sigur always recognizes the human element as staff and visitors seek access to a site, and the equipment can make audible, informative and friendly voice announcements about means of identification and site conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adapt, secure, thrive\" is a strapline for Nedap, the Netherlands-based access control specialist who is active in the Middle East with impressive major case studies across the region such as Saudi Aramco who are one of the largest oil-producing companies in the world. Nedap (stand S1 E22 at Intersec) also operates in the Emirates where the project portfolio includes ADNOC Distribution, a UAE retail fuel operator at service stations across commerce, government and military.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And being adaptive is truly one of the company's values as the range of credential methods by which a user can identify themselves to access control readers continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to Ankith Kumar who is a Nedap<\/a> marketing manager for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar explained how Nedap is minimizing delay at readers and reducing logistical complications for end-user staff by integrating employee badges into Apple Wallet. (The R & D department is now working on a comparable offering for Android and this will be released in the future.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart watches and smartphones are almost an integral part of anybody's routine as they prepare for work. This means that delays at entrance point readers while an employee struggles to find a card or fob will soon be history though more traditional credential devices will remain in the Nedap offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing, modifying and even cancelling employee access rights can be done remotely and there is no physical distribution to cause delay or involve costs. Nedap can thus dispense with the complications of additional software from a third party and there is a positive green aspect to removing the need for plastic cards and fobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumar also took Security on Screen through a scenario of arriving by vehicle at a Nedap-protected site. He explained the functions of uPASS Go, this being Nedap's latest UHF RFID reader for long-range vehicle identification at access points. The company says that vehicles can be identified at up to 33 feet using passive UHF technology with security staff having a white list of approved vehicles and, indeed, a black list of prohibited vehicles where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the physical security sector now being a mature industry, far-sighted companies such as AMAG Technology UK (stand S1 B16) are acknowledging the need to reinvent themselves. They company has a Darwinian intelligence that prompts it to adapt to market conditions and end-user demands in order to thrive.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMAG<\/a> develops scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths across access control, video management, identity management, visitor management and command & control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoS spoke to James Clark who is the company's director of sales for EMEA & APAC. Clark stressed how AMAG clients are able to manage multiple systems from a single intuitive interface so freeing them up to focus on the core activity of their site and reducing risk for all parties as well as producing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients at transport hub sites such as airports need scalable solutions with easy upgrade paths as new terminals are added. Clark notes that new airport builds are a significant area for the Middle East region. Command & control platforms at such mission-critical environments need to be best of breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robust access control is at a premium in transport infrastructure and integrators demand a wide range of credential mechanisms by which staff can present themselves to readers. This can include many forms of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's route to market remains the same; relationships with Value Added Resellers (VARs) and integrators are crucial but AMAG recognises that the sector is in flux as physical and cyber security continue to converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen visited the Synectics stand (S1, F39<\/strong>) at Intersec 2025, and learnt how the company takes pride in moving beyond security into a multi-stream approach by which its products can multi-task and create operational efficiencies that improve the bottom line of end-users.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company offers advanced security and surveillance systems that help protect people, property, communities, and assets worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions are aimed primarily but not exclusively at industries and niche sectors that are mission-critical such as oil & gas, public space, transport and major infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telemetry and analytics using best-of-breed proprietary algorithms protect volatile environments. Synectics<\/a> claims that its camera stations will perform in ambient temperatures up to +70\u00b0C without compromise. The products are thus a go-to choice for end-users in major industrial installations including marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Synergy AI Suite exploits true intelligence in its video surveillance and analytics tools. A mobile App allows stakeholders of many types to have visibility and take ownership of their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive maintenance is a significant offering which reduces site downtime and has long term cost of ownership benefits for customers. Facility managers are empowered to take the right maintenance action at an appropriate time. Integrated maps with Synectics software allow site-mapping and optimisation of work flows as well as rapid site familiarity for new staff. Again, the multi-tasking of the products has financial benefits for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security on Screen spoke to John MacAskill of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) on stand S3 B35 at Intersec 2025.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director - Security & Export, MacAskill has done much to organise the UK Safety Pavilion at Intersec and he works with external partners in promoting British security overseas. Companies such as Todd Research who we interviewed yesterday<\/a> are on adjacent stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BSIA<\/a> works with organisations such as RISC - Security and Resilience Industry Suppliers Community - which is an alliance of associations and bodies representing the UK\u2019s security and resilience sector to Government. Other strategic partners are JSaRC, the Joint Security and Resilience Centre which is part of the UK Home Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill is enthused about Intersec and Messe Frankfurt [@messefrankfurt]. He said: \"The space in the UK Safety Pavilion is sold out and we could have sold more! It's striking testimony to the success of Intersec and how exhibitors view it. The spaces were taken up promptly by companies who value the leads they gain from this event.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill continued: \"The BSIA works with many associates including ADS who are another UK trade association advancing leadership in aerospace, defence, security and space. As physical and cyber security continue to converge, we maintain links with techUK who are an association working towards optimum cyber resilience and positive outcomes from digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember when looking at the UK Safety Pavilion here that security is worth more as an export to the British economy than defence - certainly over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MacAskill said: \"Emirati companies, trade bodies and government agencies like you to be actually here with feet on the ground. It's good to be able to collaborate with people like David Arthurs who is police & security advisor at the British Embassy here in Dubai. This event goes from strength to strength. I've looked after the Pavilion for seven years - and there's been no Seven Year Itch - certainly not yet!\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Research is demonstrating its new cabinet x-ray scanner at Intersec Dubai on stand S3 A42.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cambridgeshire-based company excels in keeping mailrooms safe from postal threats. Its products identify potential major dangers such as anthrax and ricin so safeguarding postal workers and the wider community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company's technology allows mailroom workers and their supervisors to share images of suspect packages with first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new scanner offers TIP (Threat Image Protection) integration and what the company says is a 400% image resolution improvement on the preceding model. Powder detection (EPD) has also been improved and there is optimised connectivity for remote diagnostics. Todd Research has observed international radiation compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However vigilant, well informed and well trained mailroom employees may be, Todd Research<\/a> equipment supports staff by being an automated process. The product offering also delivers huge time savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet scanner is not solely aimed at mailrooms and is designed for use at locations such as law courts, embassies, and any venue where small bags must be scanned quickly and effectively. Threats from sharps, incendiary devices as well as toxic substances in powder form can all be mitigated with the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing x-ray screening for incoming mail provides a more robust, efficient solution than reliance solely on human vigilance. X-ray scanners allow staff to examine package contents without opening them, using advanced enhancement tools to identify anything suspicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology offers a cost-effective way to improve mailroom security while ensuring timely and thorough monitoring. Additionally, remote networking capabilities enable operators to share images of suspect packages quickly with first responders for expert evaluation or to coordinate a building evacuation if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking ahead of the Intersec 2024<\/a> Security Leaders' Summit, which takes place at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 16 \u2013 18 January, Dr Daria Daniels Skodnik, Senior Scholar, International Security & Defense, and Former Deputy Commandant & Dean, NATO Defense College, said the UAE is at the forefront of reshaping security paradigms, exemplifying a pioneering approach to sustainable security within the Middle East. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges rooted in strategic rivalries between major powers in the global landscape demand an integrated, international response - a concept at the heart of the UAE's approach. Sustainable security, now encompassing multifaceted issues ranging from economic power to environmental threats, requires collaborative efforts to recognise the intricate interconnections among these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Daniels (pictured left) said: \u201cCollaboration has been transformative in Middle Eastern security, underscoring the power of diplomacy in overcoming historical divisions and fostering regional stability. The UAE's innovative security strategy revolves around anticipatory governance, aligning policies, people, resources, and technology. Emphasising diplomacy, partnerships, and multilateralism, the UAE seeks shared stability and prosperity, setting a precedent in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overcoming challenges to resilience and deterrence necessitates economic diversity, a robust infrastructure, effective governance, inclusive policies, and preparedness. Guided by the UAE's initiatives, the Middle East region redefines these principles, emphasising alliances and agreements to bolster collective security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCritical to future-proofing security is citizen engagement - a vigilant, educated, and participatory society forms the bedrock of a responsive security infrastructure. Education, civic involvement, and inclusive governance collectively contribute to a resilient security framework capable of addressing future uncertainties,\u201d Dr Daniels added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec Security Leaders' Summit gathers global thought leaders and experts aiming to innovate security strategies over two days. Dr. Skodnik will join a panel discussion on \"Future-Proofing Security\" alongside other international and regional security experts from the United Nations Office on Counter Terrorism (UNOCT), the UAE Ministry of Interior, the Canadian Armed Forces, Saudi Aramco, and Interpol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (pictured right), said: \"The UAE's proactive stance towards sustainable security serves as a driving force in reshaping global security paradigms. The Intersec Security Leaders\u2019 Summit, echoing this commitment, acts as a catalyst in advocating for new security approaches and championing sustainable security across diverse spheres.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this milestone edition of Intersec celebrates a quarter-century of innovation in security technology. The event focuses on tailored solutions for various sectors, including Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, promoting innovation and connectivity across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With drones emerging as a cost-effective means for gathering intelligence and presenting potential security threats, Intersec 2024<\/strong>, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 - 18 January<\/strong><\/strong> is to host a Counter Drone Workshop<\/strong> which aims to unveil advances in drone threat responses a<\/strong>nd address the challenges comprehensively. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop<\/a> will take place on the sidelines of the Drone & Anti Drone Zone, with over 200 sqm of drone innovations alongside state-of-the-art anti-drone technologies from the world's leading defence and security manufacturers, including Skyfend, D-fend Solutions, Dat ConAEE Aviation AxEnd Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by Innovius, the UAE drone market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected increase in market size from $380 million in 2022 to $950 million in 2030. While safety regulations remain a priority, the utilisation of drones for various purposes, including gathering intelligence or posing physical and cybersecurity threats, will be a significant topic of discussion at Intersec 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE plays a pivotal role in the global drone industry, heavily investing in unmanned arial vehicle (UAV) technology. According to TechSci Research, Dubai holds a significant share (40.21%) of the UAE drone market, followed by Abu Dhabi (28.68%) and Sharjah (14.61%) from 2018 to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Intersec20232\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Governed by the UAE\u2019s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), cybersecurity threats and potential misuse of surveillance data pose significant concerns. To address these, the UAE has taken steps to bolster drone cybersecurity, enact robust privacy laws, and actively monitor for breaches to safeguard its expanding drone fleet and ensure responsible deployment. This includes suspending all flying operations for owners, practitioners and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft by the Ministry of Interior in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec 2024 organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"It is a crucial time to host this workshop in the UAE as we delve into understanding the imminent threats, anticipating potential scenarios, and identifying the most pertinent modes of threats. Through case studies and global incident analyses, industry experts will explore methods and technologies for detecting, neutralising, and, if necessary, eliminating drone threats.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones is looking forward to welcoming visitors, where the company will share a glimpse of a drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego, October 14-17.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drones have become critical tools for SWAT and patrol officers to get eyes and ears in dangerous places. As the technology evolves, agencies are starting to establish Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs to get drones on scene first for enhanced de-escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a world where emergency response is faster, more efficient, and remarkably informed even before first responders arrive on the scene. That's the transformative power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR is a network of pre-positioned drones ready to deploy the second a call for service is made. DFR is set to redefine public safety operations and ensure the safety of both the community and officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRINC Drones said it is thrilled to share a glimpse into this drone-enabled future at IACP in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
