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.

\"\"<\/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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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.

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/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

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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

\"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

According to the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.

According to the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/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

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.

According to the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

According to the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

According to the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

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

According to the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

According to the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively.

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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.

According to the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech.

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

\"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

According to the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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.

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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

According to the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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.

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

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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/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

According to the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

According to the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

According to the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

According to the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

According to the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

According to the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

According to the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

According to the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

According to the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

According to the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

According to the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

According to the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

According to the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

According to the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features.

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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features.

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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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.

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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 Middle Eastern market has seen a rise in need for reliable security systems recently. Most of this need comes from medium-to-large sized businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection 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

Anviz<\/a> is set to the forthcoming\u00a0Intersec Expo. From 16th to 18th January 2024, you can visit Booth SA-F33 at the Dubai World Trade Centre\u2014to see their latest products revealed.<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Middle Eastern market has seen a rise in need for reliable security systems recently. Most of this need comes from medium-to-large sized businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\n

Exhibitors like Baldwin Boxall, HD Fire, Corodex, Inim, Pentair, Kopler, Fire Safety Science, SVT Products, Viking, and Erse Kablo will add further diversity to the showcase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis blend of established and fresh exhibitors underscores the global appeal and collaborative spirit that defines Intersec as a pivotal platform for the fire and safety community,\u201d Tuchten added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec 2024 Fire & Rescue Conference, hosted by Dubai Civil Defence, will address industry-shaping topics on the latest developments crucial for advancing fire protection and safety globally.<\/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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

Anviz<\/a> is set to the forthcoming\u00a0Intersec Expo. From 16th to 18th January 2024, you can visit Booth SA-F33 at the Dubai World Trade Centre\u2014to see their latest products revealed.<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Middle Eastern market has seen a rise in need for reliable security systems recently. Most of this need comes from medium-to-large sized businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

Anviz<\/a> is set to the forthcoming\u00a0Intersec Expo. From 16th to 18th January 2024, you can visit Booth SA-F33 at the Dubai World Trade Centre\u2014to see their latest products revealed.<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Middle Eastern market has seen a rise in need for reliable security systems recently. Most of this need comes from medium-to-large sized businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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.

Anviz<\/a> is set to the forthcoming\u00a0Intersec Expo. From 16th to 18th January 2024, you can visit Booth SA-F33 at the Dubai World Trade Centre\u2014to see their latest products revealed.<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Middle Eastern market has seen a rise in need for reliable security systems recently. Most of this need comes from medium-to-large sized businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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 Middle Eastern market has seen a rise in need for reliable security systems recently. Most of this need comes from medium-to-large sized businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

Anviz<\/a> is set to the forthcoming\u00a0Intersec Expo. From 16th to 18th January 2024, you can visit Booth SA-F33 at the Dubai World Trade Centre\u2014to see their latest products revealed.<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Middle Eastern market has seen a rise in need for reliable security systems recently. Most of this need comes from medium-to-large sized businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

Anviz<\/a> is set to the forthcoming\u00a0Intersec Expo. From 16th to 18th January 2024, you can visit Booth SA-F33 at the Dubai World Trade Centre\u2014to see their latest products revealed.<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Middle Eastern market has seen a rise in need for reliable security systems recently. Most of this need comes from medium-to-large sized businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

Anviz<\/a> is set to the forthcoming\u00a0Intersec Expo. From 16th to 18th January 2024, you can visit Booth SA-F33 at the Dubai World Trade Centre\u2014to see their latest products revealed.<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Middle Eastern market has seen a rise in need for reliable security systems recently. Most of this need comes from medium-to-large sized businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\n

Our growth signifies the UAE as a vibrant hub for global fire protection, safety, and security industries.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

In addition to the exhibition, Intersec 2024 promises a rich experience, including a vast conference programme and the esteemed Intersec Awards Gala Dinner. This landmark edition is set to host 1,000 exhibitors from over 60 nations, with approximately 25% making their debut, anticipating over 45,000 trade visitors worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fire and rescue segment, boasting over 400 exhibitors across five DWTC halls, stands out as the event's fastest-growing section. Notably, 70% of the industry's global leaders will converge here, presenting a prime opportunity for Middle East business engagements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exhibitors like Baldwin Boxall, HD Fire, Corodex, Inim, Pentair, Kopler, Fire Safety Science, SVT Products, Viking, and Erse Kablo will add further diversity to the showcase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis blend of established and fresh exhibitors underscores the global appeal and collaborative spirit that defines Intersec as a pivotal platform for the fire and safety community,\u201d Tuchten added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec 2024 Fire & Rescue Conference, hosted by Dubai Civil Defence, will address industry-shaping topics on the latest developments crucial for advancing fire protection and safety globally.<\/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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

Anviz<\/a> is set to the forthcoming\u00a0Intersec Expo. From 16th to 18th January 2024, you can visit Booth SA-F33 at the Dubai World Trade Centre\u2014to see their latest products revealed.<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Middle Eastern market has seen a rise in need for reliable security systems recently. Most of this need comes from medium-to-large sized businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

Anviz<\/a> is set to the forthcoming\u00a0Intersec Expo. From 16th to 18th January 2024, you can visit Booth SA-F33 at the Dubai World Trade Centre\u2014to see their latest products revealed.<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Middle Eastern market has seen a rise in need for reliable security systems recently. Most of this need comes from medium-to-large sized businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

Anviz<\/a> is set to the forthcoming\u00a0Intersec Expo. From 16th to 18th January 2024, you can visit Booth SA-F33 at the Dubai World Trade Centre\u2014to see their latest products revealed.<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Middle Eastern market has seen a rise in need for reliable security systems recently. Most of this need comes from medium-to-large sized businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

How are you finding the current market here in the Middle East?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"It\u2019s so invigorating to spend time in a part of the world with such clear 2030 Vision goals. That leads to some really positive conversations about how things could be in the future, how security technologies can evolve in line with the needs of an organisation, and how our software will help get them there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It\u2019s a region with a real appetite for innovation, demonstrated by just how quickly new technology is being adopted and consumed. There is also an interest in cloud and hybrid-cloud infrastructure as a means of optimising the productivity, connectivity and cost of security and operations. Even where systems are currently housed on-premises there\u2019s a real desire to understand how they can become \u201ccloud-ready\u201d for the longer term.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you feel you are offering that sets you aside from your competitors?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"For Genetec, I would say that our true differentiators are unified security and our long-standing commitment to ensuring the highest possible standards for the cybersecurity of our physical security systems. Cybersecurity is everybody\u2019s responsibility and it\u2019s much easier to maintain through a unified security platform than one built entirely on integrations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz<\/a> is set to the forthcoming\u00a0Intersec Expo. From 16th to 18th January 2024, you can visit Booth SA-F33 at the Dubai World Trade Centre\u2014to see their latest products revealed.<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Middle Eastern market has seen a rise in need for reliable security systems recently. Most of this need comes from medium-to-large sized businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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 leads to some really positive conversations about how things could be in the future, how security technologies can evolve in line with the needs of an organisation, and how our software will help get them there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It\u2019s a region with a real appetite for innovation, demonstrated by just how quickly new technology is being adopted and consumed. There is also an interest in cloud and hybrid-cloud infrastructure as a means of optimising the productivity, connectivity and cost of security and operations. Even where systems are currently housed on-premises there\u2019s a real desire to understand how they can become \u201ccloud-ready\u201d for the longer term.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz<\/a> is set to the forthcoming\u00a0Intersec Expo. From 16th to 18th January 2024, you can visit Booth SA-F33 at the Dubai World Trade Centre\u2014to see their latest products revealed.<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Middle Eastern market has seen a rise in need for reliable security systems recently. Most of this need comes from medium-to-large sized businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\n

Our growth signifies the UAE as a vibrant hub for global fire protection, safety, and security industries.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

In addition to the exhibition, Intersec 2024 promises a rich experience, including a vast conference programme and the esteemed Intersec Awards Gala Dinner. This landmark edition is set to host 1,000 exhibitors from over 60 nations, with approximately 25% making their debut, anticipating over 45,000 trade visitors worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fire and rescue segment, boasting over 400 exhibitors across five DWTC halls, stands out as the event's fastest-growing section. Notably, 70% of the industry's global leaders will converge here, presenting a prime opportunity for Middle East business engagements.<\/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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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 Middle Eastern market has seen a rise in need for reliable security systems recently. Most of this need comes from medium-to-large sized businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

Anviz<\/a> is set to the forthcoming\u00a0Intersec Expo. From 16th to 18th January 2024, you can visit Booth SA-F33 at the Dubai World Trade Centre\u2014to see their latest products revealed.<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Middle Eastern market has seen a rise in need for reliable security systems recently. Most of this need comes from medium-to-large sized businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features.

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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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 marks the first opportunity to see the latest version of Security Center, our flagship unified security platform at a major global tradeshow. With this release we\u2019re moving to a continuous software delivery model that ensures our users can access new features as soon as they become available, so we look forward to sharing more about what we\u2019ll be introducing throughout 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We also look forward to unveiling our brand new Experience Centre to our end users and partners located at One Central, which is attached to the World Trade free zone where Intersec takes place. Intersec is an amazing opportunity to meet with our end users and partners, but it\u2019s important they know we\u2019re also here for them for all 12 months of the year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How are you finding the current market here in the Middle East?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"It\u2019s so invigorating to spend time in a part of the world with such clear 2030 Vision goals. That leads to some really positive conversations about how things could be in the future, how security technologies can evolve in line with the needs of an organisation, and how our software will help get them there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It\u2019s a region with a real appetite for innovation, demonstrated by just how quickly new technology is being adopted and consumed. There is also an interest in cloud and hybrid-cloud infrastructure as a means of optimising the productivity, connectivity and cost of security and operations. Even where systems are currently housed on-premises there\u2019s a real desire to understand how they can become \u201ccloud-ready\u201d for the longer term.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz<\/a> is set to the forthcoming\u00a0Intersec Expo. From 16th to 18th January 2024, you can visit Booth SA-F33 at the Dubai World Trade Centre\u2014to see their latest products revealed.<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Middle Eastern market has seen a rise in need for reliable security systems recently. Most of this need comes from medium-to-large sized businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

GT: \"Visitors can expect to see a full portfolio of solutions that simplify operations and protect the everyday. Intersec marks the first opportunity to see the latest version of Security Center, our flagship unified security platform at a major global tradeshow. With this release we\u2019re moving to a continuous software delivery model that ensures our users can access new features as soon as they become available, so we look forward to sharing more about what we\u2019ll be introducing throughout 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We also look forward to unveiling our brand new Experience Centre to our end users and partners located at One Central, which is attached to the World Trade free zone where Intersec takes place. Intersec is an amazing opportunity to meet with our end users and partners, but it\u2019s important they know we\u2019re also here for them for all 12 months of the year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How are you finding the current market here in the Middle East?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"It\u2019s so invigorating to spend time in a part of the world with such clear 2030 Vision goals. That leads to some really positive conversations about how things could be in the future, how security technologies can evolve in line with the needs of an organisation, and how our software will help get them there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It\u2019s a region with a real appetite for innovation, demonstrated by just how quickly new technology is being adopted and consumed. There is also an interest in cloud and hybrid-cloud infrastructure as a means of optimising the productivity, connectivity and cost of security and operations. Even where systems are currently housed on-premises there\u2019s a real desire to understand how they can become \u201ccloud-ready\u201d for the longer term.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you feel you are offering that sets you aside from your competitors?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"For Genetec, I would say that our true differentiators are unified security and our long-standing commitment to ensuring the highest possible standards for the cybersecurity of our physical security systems. Cybersecurity is everybody\u2019s responsibility and it\u2019s much easier to maintain through a unified security platform than one built entirely on integrations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are you doing to develop your existing footprint in the region?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"Over the past 18 months we\u2019ve doubled our headcount across sales, service and support, and opened our dedicated Genetec Experience Center in Dubai. It\u2019s the perfect space for our channel, our partners and end users to come together and devise solutions to their most pressing business problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz<\/a> is set to the forthcoming\u00a0Intersec Expo. From 16th to 18th January 2024, you can visit Booth SA-F33 at the Dubai World Trade Centre\u2014to see their latest products revealed.<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Middle Eastern market has seen a rise in need for reliable security systems recently. Most of this need comes from medium-to-large sized businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\n

As Intersec, the leading international exhibition for fire, security, emergency services, safety, policing, and cybersecurity, gears up for its 25th-anniversary edition, the focus will be on remarkable innovation and collaborations within the fire and safety sector.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Intersec 2024 will convene from 16 \u2013 18 January at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC). This historic edition, themed \u2018Innovating security tech for a quarter century\u2019, is poised to be the largest in its history, with a significant emphasis on fire and rescue innovations, in collaboration with Dubai Civil Defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exhibitors like Baldwin Boxall, HD Fire, Corodex, Inim, Pentair, Kopler, Fire Safety Science, SVT Products, Viking, and Erse Kablo will add further diversity to the showcase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis blend of established and fresh exhibitors underscores the global appeal and collaborative spirit that defines Intersec as a pivotal platform for the fire and safety community,\u201d Tuchten added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec 2024 Fire & Rescue Conference, hosted by Dubai Civil Defence, will address industry-shaping topics on the latest developments crucial for advancing fire protection and safety globally.<\/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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

What can visitors to your Intersec stand expect to see?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"Visitors can expect to see a full portfolio of solutions that simplify operations and protect the everyday. Intersec marks the first opportunity to see the latest version of Security Center, our flagship unified security platform at a major global tradeshow. With this release we\u2019re moving to a continuous software delivery model that ensures our users can access new features as soon as they become available, so we look forward to sharing more about what we\u2019ll be introducing throughout 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We also look forward to unveiling our brand new Experience Centre to our end users and partners located at One Central, which is attached to the World Trade free zone where Intersec takes place.

Visitors to the show can see the latest version of Security Center<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How are you finding the current market here in the Middle East?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"It\u2019s so invigorating to spend time in a part of the world with such clear 2030 Vision goals. That leads to some really positive conversations about how things could be in the future, how security technologies can evolve in line with the needs of an organisation, and how our software will help get them there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you feel you are offering that sets you aside from your competitors?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"For Genetec, I would say that our true differentiators are unified security and our long-standing commitment to ensuring the highest possible standards for the cybersecurity of our physical security systems. Cybersecurity is everybody\u2019s responsibility and it\u2019s much easier to maintain through a unified security platform than one built entirely on integrations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are you doing to develop your existing footprint in the region?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"Over the past 18 months we\u2019ve doubled our headcount across sales, service and support, and opened our dedicated Genetec Experience Center in Dubai. It\u2019s the perfect space for our channel, our partners and end users to come together and devise solutions to their most pressing business problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Middle Eastern market has seen a rise in need for reliable security systems recently. Most of this need comes from medium-to-large sized businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\n

As Intersec, the leading international exhibition for fire, security, emergency services, safety, policing, and cybersecurity, gears up for its 25th-anniversary edition, the focus will be on remarkable innovation and collaborations within the fire and safety sector.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Intersec 2024 will convene from 16 \u2013 18 January at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).

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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

What can visitors to your Intersec stand expect to see?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"Visitors can expect to see a full portfolio of solutions that simplify operations and protect the everyday. Intersec marks the first opportunity to see the latest version of Security Center, our flagship unified security platform at a major global tradeshow. With this release we\u2019re moving to a continuous software delivery model that ensures our users can access new features as soon as they become available, so we look forward to sharing more about what we\u2019ll be introducing throughout 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We also look forward to unveiling our brand new Experience Centre to our end users and partners located at One Central, which is attached to the World Trade free zone where Intersec takes place.

How are you finding the current market here in the Middle East?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"It\u2019s so invigorating to spend time in a part of the world with such clear 2030 Vision goals. That leads to some really positive conversations about how things could be in the future, how security technologies can evolve in line with the needs of an organisation, and how our software will help get them there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It\u2019s a region with a real appetite for innovation, demonstrated by just how quickly new technology is being adopted and consumed. There is also an interest in cloud and hybrid-cloud infrastructure as a means of optimising the productivity, connectivity and cost of security and operations. Even where systems are currently housed on-premises there\u2019s a real desire to understand how they can become \u201ccloud-ready\u201d for the longer term.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you feel you are offering that sets you aside from your competitors?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"For Genetec, I would say that our true differentiators are unified security and our long-standing commitment to ensuring the highest possible standards for the cybersecurity of our physical security systems. Cybersecurity is everybody\u2019s responsibility and it\u2019s much easier to maintain through a unified security platform than one built entirely on integrations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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, the globally renowned technology provider of unified security, public safety, operations, and business intelligence solutions will be present at this year's Intersec trade show, on stand S1 F11<\/a>. Visitors will get a chance to see its latest version of Security Center, and it will be unveiling its new Experience Centre. In this exclusive interview with Georges Tannous, Area Vice President Of Sales In The UK, Ireland, Middle East And Africa (pictured top), we hear all about the brand's upcoming appearance.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

What can visitors to your Intersec stand expect to see?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"Visitors can expect to see a full portfolio of solutions that simplify operations and protect the everyday. Intersec marks the first opportunity to see the latest version of Security Center, our flagship unified security platform at a major global tradeshow. With this release we\u2019re moving to a continuous software delivery model that ensures our users can access new features as soon as they become available, so we look forward to sharing more about what we\u2019ll be introducing throughout 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We also look forward to unveiling our brand new Experience Centre to our end users and partners located at One Central, which is attached to the World Trade free zone where Intersec takes place. Intersec is an amazing opportunity to meet with our end users and partners, but it\u2019s important they know we\u2019re also here for them for all 12 months of the year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How are you finding the current market here in the Middle East?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"It\u2019s so invigorating to spend time in a part of the world with such clear 2030 Vision goals. That leads to some really positive conversations about how things could be in the future, how security technologies can evolve in line with the needs of an organisation, and how our software will help get them there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It\u2019s a region with a real appetite for innovation, demonstrated by just how quickly new technology is being adopted and consumed. There is also an interest in cloud and hybrid-cloud infrastructure as a means of optimising the productivity, connectivity and cost of security and operations. Even where systems are currently housed on-premises there\u2019s a real desire to understand how they can become \u201ccloud-ready\u201d for the longer term.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you feel you are offering that sets you aside from your competitors?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz<\/a> is set to the forthcoming\u00a0Intersec Expo. From 16th to 18th January 2024, you can visit Booth SA-F33 at the Dubai World Trade Centre\u2014to see their latest products revealed.<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Middle Eastern market has seen a rise in need for reliable security systems recently. Most of this need comes from medium-to-large sized businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/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

Genetec, the globally renowned technology provider of unified security, public safety, operations, and business intelligence solutions will be present at this year's Intersec trade show, on stand S1 F11<\/a>. Visitors will get a chance to see its latest version of Security Center, and it will be unveiling its new Experience Centre. In this exclusive interview with Georges Tannous, Area Vice President Of Sales In The UK, Ireland, Middle East And Africa (pictured top), we hear all about the brand's upcoming appearance.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

What can visitors to your Intersec stand expect to see?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"Visitors can expect to see a full portfolio of solutions that simplify operations and protect the everyday. Intersec marks the first opportunity to see the latest version of Security Center, our flagship unified security platform at a major global tradeshow. With this release we\u2019re moving to a continuous software delivery model that ensures our users can access new features as soon as they become available, so we look forward to sharing more about what we\u2019ll be introducing throughout 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We also look forward to unveiling our brand new Experience Centre to our end users and partners located at One Central, which is attached to the World Trade free zone where Intersec takes place. Intersec is an amazing opportunity to meet with our end users and partners, but it\u2019s important they know we\u2019re also here for them for all 12 months of the year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Genetec
Visitors to the show can see the latest version of Security Center<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How are you finding the current market here in the Middle East?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"It\u2019s so invigorating to spend time in a part of the world with such clear 2030 Vision goals. That leads to some really positive conversations about how things could be in the future, how security technologies can evolve in line with the needs of an organisation, and how our software will help get them there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It\u2019s a region with a real appetite for innovation, demonstrated by just how quickly new technology is being adopted and consumed. There is also an interest in cloud and hybrid-cloud infrastructure as a means of optimising the productivity, connectivity and cost of security and operations. Even where systems are currently housed on-premises there\u2019s a real desire to understand how they can become \u201ccloud-ready\u201d for the longer term.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you feel you are offering that sets you aside from your competitors?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"For Genetec, I would say that our true differentiators are unified security and our long-standing commitment to ensuring the highest possible standards for the cybersecurity of our physical security systems. Cybersecurity is everybody\u2019s responsibility and it\u2019s much easier to maintain through a unified security platform than one built entirely on integrations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are you doing to develop your existing footprint in the region?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"Over the past 18 months we\u2019ve doubled our headcount across sales, service and support, and opened our dedicated Genetec Experience Center in Dubai. It\u2019s the perfect space for our channel, our partners and end users to come together and devise solutions to their most pressing business problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Genetec is proud to be the platform of choice for all Middle East organisations who are seeking a provider who can match the pace of innovation required to deliver on their ambitious plans. We\u2019re already involved in the biggest projects in the region and plan to continue our contribution in this region's security infrastructure and beyond.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz<\/a> is set to the forthcoming\u00a0Intersec Expo. From 16th to 18th January 2024, you can visit Booth SA-F33 at the Dubai World Trade Centre\u2014to see their latest products revealed.<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Middle Eastern market has seen a rise in need for reliable security systems recently. Most of this need comes from medium-to-large sized businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\n

As Intersec, the leading international exhibition for fire, security, emergency services, safety, policing, and cybersecurity, gears up for its 25th-anniversary edition, the focus will be on remarkable innovation and collaborations within the fire and safety sector.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Intersec 2024 will convene from 16 \u2013 18 January at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC). This historic edition, themed \u2018Innovating security tech for a quarter century\u2019, is poised to be the largest in its history, with a significant emphasis on fire and rescue innovations, in collaboration with Dubai Civil Defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to 6Wresearch, the UAE fire safety systems and equipment market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.0% during 2020 - 2026. Increased investment in the industrial sector, aiming to diversify the economy, along with ongoing social infrastructure projects like UAE Vision 2021, Maritime Vision 2030, and Dubai's Industrial Strategy 2030, will boost the demand for fire safety systems and equipment in the UAE in the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"Intersec 2024 marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of fire and safety technology. This year, our spotlight shines brightly on the fire and rescue segment, where collaboration with Dubai Civil Defence stands as a testament to our commitment to advancing regional safety and security. Our growth signifies the UAE as a vibrant hub for global fire protection, safety, and security industries.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

In addition to the exhibition, Intersec 2024 promises a rich experience, including a vast conference programme and the esteemed Intersec Awards Gala Dinner. This landmark edition is set to host 1,000 exhibitors from over 60 nations, with approximately 25% making their debut, anticipating over 45,000 trade visitors worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fire and rescue segment, boasting over 400 exhibitors across five DWTC halls, stands out as the event's fastest-growing section. Notably, 70% of the industry's global leaders will converge here, presenting a prime opportunity for Middle East business engagements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leading UAE-based fire and safety entity NAFFCO, known for top-tier firefighting equipment and safety engineering, will showcase various innovative solutions. Exhibitors like Baldwin Boxall, HD Fire, Corodex, Inim, Pentair, Kopler, Fire Safety Science, SVT Products, Viking, and Erse Kablo will add further diversity to the showcase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis blend of established and fresh exhibitors underscores the global appeal and collaborative spirit that defines Intersec as a pivotal platform for the fire and safety community,\u201d Tuchten added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec 2024 Fire & Rescue Conference, hosted by Dubai Civil Defence, will address industry-shaping topics on the latest developments crucial for advancing fire protection and safety globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key topics at the conference include emergency response planning, industrial firefighting, and innovations in fire prevention, among others, with esteemed speakers such as Gary Barthram, Chief Fire Officer at Heathrow Airport, UK, Mohammed Saeefan, Fire Protection, Saudi Aramco, Saudi Arabia, and Terrance Wh Tsang, Chief Fire Officer (Kowloon) at the Hong Kong Fire Services Department, sharing invaluable insights and expertise.<\/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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

GT: \"Visitors can expect to see a full portfolio of solutions that simplify operations and protect the everyday. Intersec marks the first opportunity to see the latest version of Security Center, our flagship unified security platform at a major global tradeshow. With this release we\u2019re moving to a continuous software delivery model that ensures our users can access new features as soon as they become available, so we look forward to sharing more about what we\u2019ll be introducing throughout 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We also look forward to unveiling our brand new Experience Centre to our end users and partners located at One Central, which is attached to the World Trade free zone where Intersec takes place. Intersec is an amazing opportunity to meet with our end users and partners, but it\u2019s important they know we\u2019re also here for them for all 12 months of the year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How are you finding the current market here in the Middle East?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"It\u2019s so invigorating to spend time in a part of the world with such clear 2030 Vision goals. That leads to some really positive conversations about how things could be in the future, how security technologies can evolve in line with the needs of an organisation, and how our software will help get them there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It\u2019s a region with a real appetite for innovation, demonstrated by just how quickly new technology is being adopted and consumed. There is also an interest in cloud and hybrid-cloud infrastructure as a means of optimising the productivity, connectivity and cost of security and operations.

The Middle Eastern market has seen a rise in need for reliable security systems recently. Most of this need comes from medium-to-large sized businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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, the globally renowned technology provider of unified security, public safety, operations, and business intelligence solutions will be present at this year's Intersec trade show, on stand S1 F11<\/a>. Visitors will get a chance to see its latest version of Security Center, and it will be unveiling its new Experience Centre. In this exclusive interview with Georges Tannous, Area Vice President Of Sales In The UK, Ireland, Middle East And Africa (pictured top), we hear all about the brand's upcoming appearance.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

What can visitors to your Intersec stand expect to see?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"Visitors can expect to see a full portfolio of solutions that simplify operations and protect the everyday. Intersec marks the first opportunity to see the latest version of Security Center, our flagship unified security platform at a major global tradeshow. With this release we\u2019re moving to a continuous software delivery model that ensures our users can access new features as soon as they become available, so we look forward to sharing more about what we\u2019ll be introducing throughout 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We also look forward to unveiling our brand new Experience Centre to our end users and partners located at One Central, which is attached to the World Trade free zone where Intersec takes place. Intersec is an amazing opportunity to meet with our end users and partners, but it\u2019s important they know we\u2019re also here for them for all 12 months of the year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Genetec

How are you finding the current market here in the Middle East?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"It\u2019s so invigorating to spend time in a part of the world with such clear 2030 Vision goals. That leads to some really positive conversations about how things could be in the future, how security technologies can evolve in line with the needs of an organisation, and how our software will help get them there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It\u2019s a region with a real appetite for innovation, demonstrated by just how quickly new technology is being adopted and consumed. There is also an interest in cloud and hybrid-cloud infrastructure as a means of optimising the productivity, connectivity and cost of security and operations. Even where systems are currently housed on-premises there\u2019s a real desire to understand how they can become \u201ccloud-ready\u201d for the longer term.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you feel you are offering that sets you aside from your competitors?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"For Genetec, I would say that our true differentiators are unified security and our long-standing commitment to ensuring the highest possible standards for the cybersecurity of our physical security systems. Cybersecurity is everybody\u2019s responsibility and it\u2019s much easier to maintain through a unified security platform than one built entirely on integrations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are you doing to develop your existing footprint in the region?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"Over the past 18 months we\u2019ve doubled our headcount across sales, service and support, and opened our dedicated Genetec Experience Center in Dubai.

Anviz<\/a> is set to the forthcoming\u00a0Intersec Expo. From 16th to 18th January 2024, you can visit Booth SA-F33 at the Dubai World Trade Centre\u2014to see their latest products revealed.<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Middle Eastern market has seen a rise in need for reliable security systems recently. Most of this need comes from medium-to-large sized businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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, the globally renowned technology provider of unified security, public safety, operations, and business intelligence solutions will be present at this year's Intersec trade show, on stand S1 F11<\/a>. Visitors will get a chance to see its latest version of Security Center, and it will be unveiling its new Experience Centre. In this exclusive interview with Georges Tannous, Area Vice President Of Sales In The UK, Ireland, Middle East And Africa (pictured top), we hear all about the brand's upcoming appearance.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

What can visitors to your Intersec stand expect to see?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"Visitors can expect to see a full portfolio of solutions that simplify operations and protect the everyday. Intersec marks the first opportunity to see the latest version of Security Center, our flagship unified security platform at a major global tradeshow. With this release we\u2019re moving to a continuous software delivery model that ensures our users can access new features as soon as they become available, so we look forward to sharing more about what we\u2019ll be introducing throughout 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We also look forward to unveiling our brand new Experience Centre to our end users and partners located at One Central, which is attached to the World Trade free zone where Intersec takes place. Intersec is an amazing opportunity to meet with our end users and partners, but it\u2019s important they know we\u2019re also here for them for all 12 months of the year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How are you finding the current market here in the Middle East?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"It\u2019s so invigorating to spend time in a part of the world with such clear 2030 Vision goals. That leads to some really positive conversations about how things could be in the future, how security technologies can evolve in line with the needs of an organisation, and how our software will help get them there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It\u2019s a region with a real appetite for innovation, demonstrated by just how quickly new technology is being adopted and consumed. There is also an interest in cloud and hybrid-cloud infrastructure as a means of optimising the productivity, connectivity and cost of security and operations. Even where systems are currently housed on-premises there\u2019s a real desire to understand how they can become \u201ccloud-ready\u201d for the longer term.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you feel you are offering that sets you aside from your competitors?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"For Genetec, I would say that our true differentiators are unified security and our long-standing commitment to ensuring the highest possible standards for the cybersecurity of our physical security systems. Cybersecurity is everybody\u2019s responsibility and it\u2019s much easier to maintain through a unified security platform than one built entirely on integrations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are you doing to develop your existing footprint in the region?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"Over the past 18 months we\u2019ve doubled our headcount across sales, service and support, and opened our dedicated Genetec Experience Center in Dubai.

\"Genetec is proud to be the platform of choice for all Middle East organisations who are seeking a provider who can match the pace of innovation required to deliver on their ambitious plans.

Anviz<\/a> is set to the forthcoming\u00a0Intersec Expo. From 16th to 18th January 2024, you can visit Booth SA-F33 at the Dubai World Trade Centre\u2014to see their latest products revealed.<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Middle Eastern market has seen a rise in need for reliable security systems recently. Most of this need comes from medium-to-large sized businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\n

As Intersec, the leading international exhibition for fire, security, emergency services, safety, policing, and cybersecurity, gears up for its 25th-anniversary edition, the focus will be on remarkable innovation and collaborations within the fire and safety sector.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Intersec 2024 will convene from 16 \u2013 18 January at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC). This historic edition, themed \u2018Innovating security tech for a quarter century\u2019, is poised to be the largest in its history, with a significant emphasis on fire and rescue innovations, in collaboration with Dubai Civil Defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to 6Wresearch, the UAE fire safety systems and equipment market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.0% during 2020 - 2026. Increased investment in the industrial sector, aiming to diversify the economy, along with ongoing social infrastructure projects like UAE Vision 2021, Maritime Vision 2030, and Dubai's Industrial Strategy 2030, will boost the demand for fire safety systems and equipment in the UAE in the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"Intersec 2024 marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of fire and safety technology. This year, our spotlight shines brightly on the fire and rescue segment, where collaboration with Dubai Civil Defence stands as a testament to our commitment to advancing regional safety and security. Our growth signifies the UAE as a vibrant hub for global fire protection, safety, and security industries.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

In addition to the exhibition, Intersec 2024 promises a rich experience, including a vast conference programme and the esteemed Intersec Awards Gala Dinner. This landmark edition is set to host 1,000 exhibitors from over 60 nations, with approximately 25% making their debut, anticipating over 45,000 trade visitors worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fire and rescue segment, boasting over 400 exhibitors across five DWTC halls, stands out as the event's fastest-growing section. Notably, 70% of the industry's global leaders will converge here, presenting a prime opportunity for Middle East business engagements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leading UAE-based fire and safety entity NAFFCO, known for top-tier firefighting equipment and safety engineering, will showcase various innovative solutions. Exhibitors like Baldwin Boxall, HD Fire, Corodex, Inim, Pentair, Kopler, Fire Safety Science, SVT Products, Viking, and Erse Kablo will add further diversity to the showcase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis blend of established and fresh exhibitors underscores the global appeal and collaborative spirit that defines Intersec as a pivotal platform for the fire and safety community,\u201d Tuchten added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec 2024 Fire & Rescue Conference, hosted by Dubai Civil Defence, will address industry-shaping topics on the latest developments crucial for advancing fire protection and safety globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key topics at the conference include emergency response planning, industrial firefighting, and innovations in fire prevention, among others, with esteemed speakers such as Gary Barthram, Chief Fire Officer at Heathrow Airport, UK, Mohammed Saeefan, Fire Protection, Saudi Aramco, Saudi Arabia, and Terrance Wh Tsang, Chief Fire Officer (Kowloon) at the Hong Kong Fire Services Department, sharing invaluable insights and expertise.<\/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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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 Middle Eastern market has seen a rise in need for reliable security systems recently. Most of this need comes from medium-to-large sized businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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, the globally renowned technology provider of unified security, public safety, operations, and business intelligence solutions will be present at this year's Intersec trade show, on stand S1 F11<\/a>. Visitors will get a chance to see its latest version of Security Center, and it will be unveiling its new Experience Centre. In this exclusive interview with Georges Tannous, Area Vice President Of Sales In The UK, Ireland, Middle East And Africa (pictured top), we hear all about the brand's upcoming appearance.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

What can visitors to your Intersec stand expect to see?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"Visitors can expect to see a full portfolio of solutions that simplify operations and protect the everyday. Intersec marks the first opportunity to see the latest version of Security Center, our flagship unified security platform at a major global tradeshow. With this release we\u2019re moving to a continuous software delivery model that ensures our users can access new features as soon as they become available, so we look forward to sharing more about what we\u2019ll be introducing throughout 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We also look forward to unveiling our brand new Experience Centre to our end users and partners located at One Central, which is attached to the World Trade free zone where Intersec takes place. Intersec is an amazing opportunity to meet with our end users and partners, but it\u2019s important they know we\u2019re also here for them for all 12 months of the year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How are you finding the current market here in the Middle East?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"It\u2019s so invigorating to spend time in a part of the world with such clear 2030 Vision goals. That leads to some really positive conversations about how things could be in the future, how security technologies can evolve in line with the needs of an organisation, and how our software will help get them there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It\u2019s a region with a real appetite for innovation, demonstrated by just how quickly new technology is being adopted and consumed. There is also an interest in cloud and hybrid-cloud infrastructure as a means of optimising the productivity, connectivity and cost of security and operations. Even where systems are currently housed on-premises there\u2019s a real desire to understand how they can become \u201ccloud-ready\u201d for the longer term.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz<\/a> is set to the forthcoming\u00a0Intersec Expo. From 16th to 18th January 2024, you can visit Booth SA-F33 at the Dubai World Trade Centre\u2014to see their latest products revealed.<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Middle Eastern market has seen a rise in need for reliable security systems recently. Most of this need comes from medium-to-large sized businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/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

Genetec, the globally renowned technology provider of unified security, public safety, operations, and business intelligence solutions will be present at this year's Intersec trade show, on stand S1 F11<\/a>. Visitors will get a chance to see its latest version of Security Center, and it will be unveiling its new Experience Centre. In this exclusive interview with Georges Tannous, Area Vice President Of Sales In The UK, Ireland, Middle East And Africa (pictured top), we hear all about the brand's upcoming appearance.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

What can visitors to your Intersec stand expect to see?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"Visitors can expect to see a full portfolio of solutions that simplify operations and protect the everyday. Intersec marks the first opportunity to see the latest version of Security Center, our flagship unified security platform at a major global tradeshow. With this release we\u2019re moving to a continuous software delivery model that ensures our users can access new features as soon as they become available, so we look forward to sharing more about what we\u2019ll be introducing throughout 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We also look forward to unveiling our brand new Experience Centre to our end users and partners located at One Central, which is attached to the World Trade free zone where Intersec takes place. Intersec is an amazing opportunity to meet with our end users and partners, but it\u2019s important they know we\u2019re also here for them for all 12 months of the year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Genetec

How are you finding the current market here in the Middle East?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"It\u2019s so invigorating to spend time in a part of the world with such clear 2030 Vision goals. That leads to some really positive conversations about how things could be in the future, how security technologies can evolve in line with the needs of an organisation, and how our software will help get them there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It\u2019s a region with a real appetite for innovation, demonstrated by just how quickly new technology is being adopted and consumed. There is also an interest in cloud and hybrid-cloud infrastructure as a means of optimising the productivity, connectivity and cost of security and operations. Even where systems are currently housed on-premises there\u2019s a real desire to understand how they can become \u201ccloud-ready\u201d for the longer term.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"For Genetec, I would say that our true differentiators are unified security and our long-standing commitment to ensuring the highest possible standards for the cybersecurity of our physical security systems. Cybersecurity is everybody\u2019s responsibility and it\u2019s much easier to maintain through a unified security platform than one built entirely on integrations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are you doing to develop your existing footprint in the region?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"Over the past 18 months we\u2019ve doubled our headcount across sales, service and support, and opened our dedicated Genetec Experience Center in Dubai.

Anviz<\/a> is set to the forthcoming\u00a0Intersec Expo. From 16th to 18th January 2024, you can visit Booth SA-F33 at the Dubai World Trade Centre\u2014to see their latest products revealed.<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Middle Eastern market has seen a rise in need for reliable security systems recently. Most of this need comes from medium-to-large sized businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\n

As Intersec, the leading international exhibition for fire, security, emergency services, safety, policing, and cybersecurity, gears up for its 25th-anniversary edition, the focus will be on remarkable innovation and collaborations within the fire and safety sector.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Intersec 2024 will convene from 16 \u2013 18 January at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC). This historic edition, themed \u2018Innovating security tech for a quarter century\u2019, is poised to be the largest in its history, with a significant emphasis on fire and rescue innovations, in collaboration with Dubai Civil Defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to 6Wresearch, the UAE fire safety systems and equipment market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.0% during 2020 - 2026. Increased investment in the industrial sector, aiming to diversify the economy, along with ongoing social infrastructure projects like UAE Vision 2021, Maritime Vision 2030, and Dubai's Industrial Strategy 2030, will boost the demand for fire safety systems and equipment in the UAE in the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"Intersec 2024 marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of fire and safety technology. This year, our spotlight shines brightly on the fire and rescue segment, where collaboration with Dubai Civil Defence stands as a testament to our commitment to advancing regional safety and security. Our growth signifies the UAE as a vibrant hub for global fire protection, safety, and security industries.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

In addition to the exhibition, Intersec 2024 promises a rich experience, including a vast conference programme and the esteemed Intersec Awards Gala Dinner. This landmark edition is set to host 1,000 exhibitors from over 60 nations, with approximately 25% making their debut, anticipating over 45,000 trade visitors worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fire and rescue segment, boasting over 400 exhibitors across five DWTC halls, stands out as the event's fastest-growing section. Notably, 70% of the industry's global leaders will converge here, presenting a prime opportunity for Middle East business engagements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leading UAE-based fire and safety entity NAFFCO, known for top-tier firefighting equipment and safety engineering, will showcase various innovative solutions. Exhibitors like Baldwin Boxall, HD Fire, Corodex, Inim, Pentair, Kopler, Fire Safety Science, SVT Products, Viking, and Erse Kablo will add further diversity to the showcase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis blend of established and fresh exhibitors underscores the global appeal and collaborative spirit that defines Intersec as a pivotal platform for the fire and safety community,\u201d Tuchten added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec 2024 Fire & Rescue Conference, hosted by Dubai Civil Defence, will address industry-shaping topics on the latest developments crucial for advancing fire protection and safety globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key topics at the conference include emergency response planning, industrial firefighting, and innovations in fire prevention, among others, with esteemed speakers such as Gary Barthram, Chief Fire Officer at Heathrow Airport, UK, Mohammed Saeefan, Fire Protection, Saudi Aramco, Saudi Arabia, and Terrance Wh Tsang, Chief Fire Officer (Kowloon) at the Hong Kong Fire Services Department, sharing invaluable insights and expertise.<\/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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

Anviz<\/a> is set to the forthcoming\u00a0Intersec Expo. From 16th to 18th January 2024, you can visit Booth SA-F33 at the Dubai World Trade Centre\u2014to see their latest products revealed.<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Middle Eastern market has seen a rise in need for reliable security systems recently. Most of this need comes from medium-to-large sized businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

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

Genetec, the globally renowned technology provider of unified security, public safety, operations, and business intelligence solutions will be present at this year's Intersec trade show, on stand S1 F11<\/a>. Visitors will get a chance to see its latest version of Security Center, and it will be unveiling its new Experience Centre. In this exclusive interview with Georges Tannous, Area Vice President Of Sales In The UK, Ireland, Middle East And Africa (pictured top), we hear all about the brand's upcoming appearance.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

What can visitors to your Intersec stand expect to see?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"Visitors can expect to see a full portfolio of solutions that simplify operations and protect the everyday. Intersec marks the first opportunity to see the latest version of Security Center, our flagship unified security platform at a major global tradeshow. With this release we\u2019re moving to a continuous software delivery model that ensures our users can access new features as soon as they become available, so we look forward to sharing more about what we\u2019ll be introducing throughout 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We also look forward to unveiling our brand new Experience Centre to our end users and partners located at One Central, which is attached to the World Trade free zone where Intersec takes place. Intersec is an amazing opportunity to meet with our end users and partners, but it\u2019s important they know we\u2019re also here for them for all 12 months of the year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Genetec

How are you finding the current market here in the Middle East?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"It\u2019s so invigorating to spend time in a part of the world with such clear 2030 Vision goals. That leads to some really positive conversations about how things could be in the future, how security technologies can evolve in line with the needs of an organisation, and how our software will help get them there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It\u2019s a region with a real appetite for innovation, demonstrated by just how quickly new technology is being adopted and consumed. There is also an interest in cloud and hybrid-cloud infrastructure as a means of optimising the productivity, connectivity and cost of security and operations.

Anviz<\/a> is set to the forthcoming\u00a0Intersec Expo. From 16th to 18th January 2024, you can visit Booth SA-F33 at the Dubai World Trade Centre\u2014to see their latest products revealed.<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Middle Eastern market has seen a rise in need for reliable security systems recently. Most of this need comes from medium-to-large sized businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\n

As Intersec, the leading international exhibition for fire, security, emergency services, safety, policing, and cybersecurity, gears up for its 25th-anniversary edition, the focus will be on remarkable innovation and collaborations within the fire and safety sector.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Intersec 2024 will convene from 16 \u2013 18 January at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC). This historic edition, themed \u2018Innovating security tech for a quarter century\u2019, is poised to be the largest in its history, with a significant emphasis on fire and rescue innovations, in collaboration with Dubai Civil Defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to 6Wresearch, the UAE fire safety systems and equipment market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.0% during 2020 - 2026. Increased investment in the industrial sector, aiming to diversify the economy, along with ongoing social infrastructure projects like UAE Vision 2021, Maritime Vision 2030, and Dubai's Industrial Strategy 2030, will boost the demand for fire safety systems and equipment in the UAE in the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"Intersec 2024 marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of fire and safety technology. This year, our spotlight shines brightly on the fire and rescue segment, where collaboration with Dubai Civil Defence stands as a testament to our commitment to advancing regional safety and security. Our growth signifies the UAE as a vibrant hub for global fire protection, safety, and security industries.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

In addition to the exhibition, Intersec 2024 promises a rich experience, including a vast conference programme and the esteemed Intersec Awards Gala Dinner. This landmark edition is set to host 1,000 exhibitors from over 60 nations, with approximately 25% making their debut, anticipating over 45,000 trade visitors worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fire and rescue segment, boasting over 400 exhibitors across five DWTC halls, stands out as the event's fastest-growing section. Notably, 70% of the industry's global leaders will converge here, presenting a prime opportunity for Middle East business engagements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leading UAE-based fire and safety entity NAFFCO, known for top-tier firefighting equipment and safety engineering, will showcase various innovative solutions. Exhibitors like Baldwin Boxall, HD Fire, Corodex, Inim, Pentair, Kopler, Fire Safety Science, SVT Products, Viking, and Erse Kablo will add further diversity to the showcase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis blend of established and fresh exhibitors underscores the global appeal and collaborative spirit that defines Intersec as a pivotal platform for the fire and safety community,\u201d Tuchten added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec 2024 Fire & Rescue Conference, hosted by Dubai Civil Defence, will address industry-shaping topics on the latest developments crucial for advancing fire protection and safety globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key topics at the conference include emergency response planning, industrial firefighting, and innovations in fire prevention, among others, with esteemed speakers such as Gary Barthram, Chief Fire Officer at Heathrow Airport, UK, Mohammed Saeefan, Fire Protection, Saudi Aramco, Saudi Arabia, and Terrance Wh Tsang, Chief Fire Officer (Kowloon) at the Hong Kong Fire Services Department, sharing invaluable insights and expertise.<\/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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

GT: \"It\u2019s so invigorating to spend time in a part of the world with such clear 2030 Vision goals. That leads to some really positive conversations about how things could be in the future, how security technologies can evolve in line with the needs of an organisation, and how our software will help get them there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Middle Eastern market has seen a rise in need for reliable security systems recently. Most of this need comes from medium-to-large sized businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\n

This year, our spotlight shines brightly on the fire and rescue segment, where collaboration with Dubai Civil Defence stands as a testament to our commitment to advancing regional safety and security. Our growth signifies the UAE as a vibrant hub for global fire protection, safety, and security industries.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the exhibition, Intersec 2024 promises a rich experience, including a vast conference programme and the esteemed Intersec Awards Gala Dinner. This landmark edition is set to host 1,000 exhibitors from over 60 nations, with approximately 25% making their debut, anticipating over 45,000 trade visitors worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fire and rescue segment, boasting over 400 exhibitors across five DWTC halls, stands out as the event's fastest-growing section. Notably, 70% of the industry's global leaders will converge here, presenting a prime opportunity for Middle East business engagements.<\/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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

What can visitors to your Intersec stand expect to see?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"Visitors can expect to see a full portfolio of solutions that simplify operations and protect the everyday. Intersec marks the first opportunity to see the latest version of Security Center, our flagship unified security platform at a major global tradeshow. With this release we\u2019re moving to a continuous software delivery model that ensures our users can access new features as soon as they become available, so we look forward to sharing more about what we\u2019ll be introducing throughout 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We also look forward to unveiling our brand new Experience Centre to our end users and partners located at One Central, which is attached to the World Trade free zone where Intersec takes place. Intersec is an amazing opportunity to meet with our end users and partners, but it\u2019s important they know we\u2019re also here for them for all 12 months of the year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How are you finding the current market here in the Middle East?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"It\u2019s so invigorating to spend time in a part of the world with such clear 2030 Vision goals. That leads to some really positive conversations about how things could be in the future, how security technologies can evolve in line with the needs of an organisation, and how our software will help get them there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It\u2019s a region with a real appetite for innovation, demonstrated by just how quickly new technology is being adopted and consumed. There is also an interest in cloud and hybrid-cloud infrastructure as a means of optimising the productivity, connectivity and cost of security and operations. Even where systems are currently housed on-premises there\u2019s a real desire to understand how they can become \u201ccloud-ready\u201d for the longer term.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz<\/a> is set to the forthcoming\u00a0Intersec Expo. From 16th to 18th January 2024, you can visit Booth SA-F33 at the Dubai World Trade Centre\u2014to see their latest products revealed.<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Middle Eastern market has seen a rise in need for reliable security systems recently. Most of this need comes from medium-to-large sized businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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

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

Genetec, the globally renowned technology provider of unified security, public safety, operations, and business intelligence solutions will be present at this year's Intersec trade show, on stand S1 F11<\/a>. Visitors will get a chance to see its latest version of Security Center, and it will be unveiling its new Experience Centre. In this exclusive interview with Georges Tannous, Area Vice President Of Sales In The UK, Ireland, Middle East And Africa (pictured top), we hear all about the brand's upcoming appearance.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

What can visitors to your Intersec stand expect to see?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"Visitors can expect to see a full portfolio of solutions that simplify operations and protect the everyday. Intersec marks the first opportunity to see the latest version of Security Center, our flagship unified security platform at a major global tradeshow. With this release we\u2019re moving to a continuous software delivery model that ensures our users can access new features as soon as they become available, so we look forward to sharing more about what we\u2019ll be introducing throughout 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We also look forward to unveiling our brand new Experience Centre to our end users and partners located at One Central, which is attached to the World Trade free zone where Intersec takes place. Intersec is an amazing opportunity to meet with our end users and partners, but it\u2019s important they know we\u2019re also here for them for all 12 months of the year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Genetec

How are you finding the current market here in the Middle East?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"It\u2019s so invigorating to spend time in a part of the world with such clear 2030 Vision goals. That leads to some really positive conversations about how things could be in the future, how security technologies can evolve in line with the needs of an organisation, and how our software will help get them there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It\u2019s a region with a real appetite for innovation, demonstrated by just how quickly new technology is being adopted and consumed. There is also an interest in cloud and hybrid-cloud infrastructure as a means of optimising the productivity, connectivity and cost of security and operations. Even where systems are currently housed on-premises there\u2019s a real desire to understand how they can become \u201ccloud-ready\u201d for the longer term.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you feel you are offering that sets you aside from your competitors?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cybersecurity is everybody\u2019s responsibility and it\u2019s much easier to maintain through a unified security platform than one built entirely on integrations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are you doing to develop your existing footprint in the region?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"Over the past 18 months we\u2019ve doubled our headcount across sales, service and support, and opened our dedicated Genetec Experience Center in Dubai.

Anviz<\/a> is set to the forthcoming\u00a0Intersec Expo. From 16th to 18th January 2024, you can visit Booth SA-F33 at the Dubai World Trade Centre\u2014to see their latest products revealed.<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Middle Eastern market has seen a rise in need for reliable security systems recently. Most of this need comes from medium-to-large sized businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\n

As Intersec, the leading international exhibition for fire, security, emergency services, safety, policing, and cybersecurity, gears up for its 25th-anniversary edition, the focus will be on remarkable innovation and collaborations within the fire and safety sector.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Intersec 2024 will convene from 16 \u2013 18 January at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC). This historic edition, themed \u2018Innovating security tech for a quarter century\u2019, is poised to be the largest in its history, with a significant emphasis on fire and rescue innovations, in collaboration with Dubai Civil Defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to 6Wresearch, the UAE fire safety systems and equipment market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.0% during 2020 - 2026. Increased investment in the industrial sector, aiming to diversify the economy, along with ongoing social infrastructure projects like UAE Vision 2021, Maritime Vision 2030, and Dubai's Industrial Strategy 2030, will boost the demand for fire safety systems and equipment in the UAE in the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"Intersec 2024 marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of fire and safety technology. This year, our spotlight shines brightly on the fire and rescue segment, where collaboration with Dubai Civil Defence stands as a testament to our commitment to advancing regional safety and security. Our growth signifies the UAE as a vibrant hub for global fire protection, safety, and security industries.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

In addition to the exhibition, Intersec 2024 promises a rich experience, including a vast conference programme and the esteemed Intersec Awards Gala Dinner. This landmark edition is set to host 1,000 exhibitors from over 60 nations, with approximately 25% making their debut, anticipating over 45,000 trade visitors worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fire and rescue segment, boasting over 400 exhibitors across five DWTC halls, stands out as the event's fastest-growing section. Notably, 70% of the industry's global leaders will converge here, presenting a prime opportunity for Middle East business engagements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leading UAE-based fire and safety entity NAFFCO, known for top-tier firefighting equipment and safety engineering, will showcase various innovative solutions. Exhibitors like Baldwin Boxall, HD Fire, Corodex, Inim, Pentair, Kopler, Fire Safety Science, SVT Products, Viking, and Erse Kablo will add further diversity to the showcase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis blend of established and fresh exhibitors underscores the global appeal and collaborative spirit that defines Intersec as a pivotal platform for the fire and safety community,\u201d Tuchten added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Intersec 2024 Fire & Rescue Conference, hosted by Dubai Civil Defence, will address industry-shaping topics on the latest developments crucial for advancing fire protection and safety globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key topics at the conference include emergency response planning, industrial firefighting, and innovations in fire prevention, among others, with esteemed speakers such as Gary Barthram, Chief Fire Officer at Heathrow Airport, UK, Mohammed Saeefan, Fire Protection, Saudi Aramco, Saudi Arabia, and Terrance Wh Tsang, Chief Fire Officer (Kowloon) at the Hong Kong Fire Services Department, sharing invaluable insights and expertise.<\/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.

According to the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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 Middle Eastern market has seen a rise in need for reliable security systems recently. Most of this need comes from medium-to-large sized businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Anviz will deploy a local delivery and service centre in the Middle East. The 'rat race' of the physical security industry has just begun, our comprehensive security management platform meeting the requirements of enterprise users,\" said Peter Chen, Global Integration Business Unit Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Anviz One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One is designed for midsize companies seeking a complete platform to handle workplace security, without breaking the bank. This all-in-one package includes hardware, software, and services unlike other single-category, complex security systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It only needs an edge server to smoothly combine four self-developed Anviz product lines: access control, time attendance, surveillance, smart lock, and alarm system, addressing all office situations while ensuring unified branding design, protocol, and systematic management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Philosophy and Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One's Edge AI-equipped devices change traditional post-incident verification and manual decision-making into thorough monitoring and intelligent decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anviz One includes security cameras and access control devices equipped with deep learning algorithms. For instance, upon identifying a lingering person, it starts analysing their behaviour patterns such as body language, dwell time, and facial features. If the person's behaviour seems suspicious, an alarm is activated, notifying the security staff to react accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, achieving a balance between security and user convenience was challenging. Anviz One addresses this using biometric recognition, local storage, and bank-level communication encryption technologies, ensuring physical security, data protection, and user experience at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its edge server architecture enhances compatibility with existing enterprise systems while reducing system maintenance efforts and costs.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Anviz to launch AI-boosted security products at Intersec Expo, Dubai","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"anviz-to-launch-ai-boosted-security-products-at-intersec-expo-dubai","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-03 22:18:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=20013","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19966,"post_author":"135","post_date":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-12-29 10:23:00","post_content":"\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 the latest International Air Transport Association (IATA) figures, the Middle East continues to see strong post-pandemic airline passenger traffic, with regional airlines seeing a 26.6% increase in September traffic compared to 2022. Partly because of this, emerging security challenges and threats to the aviation industry in the Middle East will be discussed in detail at\u00a0Intersec 2024<\/a>, which takes place from 16-18 January 2024 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Aaron Le Boutillier, Regional VP at ASIS International and CEO at LBG Le Boutillier Group, who is speaking ahead of the\u00a0Security Leader\u2019s Summit<\/a>\u00a0at Intersec 2024, believes these threats can be defined as political instability and conflicts, geopolitical tensions and the increased threat of cyber-attacks, and the need to develop advanced cybersecurity protocols and technologies to protect critical infrastructure, aircraft systems and passenger data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe success of regional aviation security can be attributed to the fact that some of the major airports in the Middle East region, like Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and Hamad International Airport, have invested heavily in advanced technologies and infrastructure, such as state-of-the-art passenger screening systems, advanced baggage screening technologies, and increased development of security personnel, now showing tangible results,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key trend is the strong collaboration with international organisations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), to enhance aviation security with a clear strategy to constantly update and implement regulations and security protocols to align with international standards, an Intersec press release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Boutillier added: \"International collaboration among airlines, airports, and regulatory authorities in strengthening aviation security is key to improving overall aviation security, and this is clearly seen in the Middle East with strong alliances with ICAO and TSA, which ultimately lead to more efficient security processes.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing how the aviation industry can balance stringent security measures with providing passengers a seamless and pleasant experience, Le Boutillier highlighted several strategies available to stakeholders, such as a more efficient pre-screening process and biometric systems, which could expedite security checks and better training and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an IATA study, 75% of passengers want to use biometric data instead of passports and boarding passes, and over a third have already experienced using biometric identification in their travels. In November 2022, Emirates Airlines introduced the fast-track of international passengers using biometric data, while Riyadh Airports Company, which operates and manages King Khalid International Airport, successfully ran trials of a facial recognition technology in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"The aviation industry has undergone a massive digital overhaul in the last few decades, with technological advancements significantly enhancing safety, efficiency, and service quality, but also expanding the potential for cyber threats. To maintain safety and reliability, the Security Leader's Summit allows the industry to deepen its understanding of security measures and enhance cooperation among stakeholders to counter these risks effectively. Intersec will also host world-leading technology exhibitors supporting innovation within the aviation security sector, including Nuctech, Linev System, Astrophysics, Garrett, and new exhibitors Rapsican and Vita Detection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec's 25th edition, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, marks a quarter-century of innovation in security tech. With 1,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 45,000 trade visitors, the event is a global hub for security, safety, and fire protection industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This jubilee edition will host a diverse range of conference programmes like Cyber Security, Safety & Health, Fire & Rescue, with features like the Thought Leadership Pavilion and Intersec Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into five broad product sections, the event provides tailored solutions for Commercial & Perimeter Security, Homeland Security & Policing, Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, and Cyber Security, fostering innovation and connectivity across sectors.<\/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, the globally renowned technology provider of unified security, public safety, operations, and business intelligence solutions will be present at this year's Intersec trade show, on stand S1 F11<\/a>. Visitors will get a chance to see its latest version of Security Center, and it will be unveiling its new Experience Centre. In this exclusive interview with Georges Tannous, Area Vice President Of Sales In The UK, Ireland, Middle East And Africa (pictured top), we hear all about the brand's upcoming appearance.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

What can visitors to your Intersec stand expect to see?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"Visitors can expect to see a full portfolio of solutions that simplify operations and protect the everyday. Intersec marks the first opportunity to see the latest version of Security Center, our flagship unified security platform at a major global tradeshow. With this release we\u2019re moving to a continuous software delivery model that ensures our users can access new features as soon as they become available, so we look forward to sharing more about what we\u2019ll be introducing throughout 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We also look forward to unveiling our brand new Experience Centre to our end users and partners located at One Central, which is attached to the World Trade free zone where Intersec takes place. Intersec is an amazing opportunity to meet with our end users and partners, but it\u2019s important they know we\u2019re also here for them for all 12 months of the year.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How are you finding the current market here in the Middle East?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"It\u2019s so invigorating to spend time in a part of the world with such clear 2030 Vision goals. That leads to some really positive conversations about how things could be in the future, how security technologies can evolve in line with the needs of an organisation, and how our software will help get them there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It\u2019s a region with a real appetite for innovation, demonstrated by just how quickly new technology is being adopted and consumed. There is also an interest in cloud and hybrid-cloud infrastructure as a means of optimising the productivity, connectivity and cost of security and operations. Even where systems are currently housed on-premises there\u2019s a real desire to understand how they can become \u201ccloud-ready\u201d for the longer term.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you feel you are offering that sets you aside from your competitors?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"For Genetec, I would say that our true differentiators are unified security and our long-standing commitment to ensuring the highest possible standards for the cybersecurity of our physical security systems. Cybersecurity is everybody\u2019s responsibility and it\u2019s much easier to maintain through a unified security platform than one built entirely on integrations.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are you doing to develop your existing footprint in the region?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GT: \"Over the past 18 months we\u2019ve doubled our headcount across sales, service and support, and opened our dedicated Genetec Experience Center in Dubai. It\u2019s the perfect space for our channel, our partners and end users to come together and devise solutions to their most pressing business problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Genetec is proud to be the platform of choice for all Middle East organisations who are seeking a provider who can match the pace of innovation required to deliver on their ambitious plans. We\u2019re already involved in the biggest projects in the region and plan to continue our contribution in this region's security infrastructure and beyond.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Middle Eastern market has seen a rise in need for reliable security systems recently. Most of this need comes from medium-to-large sized businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the market lies a sea of cheap but poor-quality security products, resulting from low entry barriers and technical standards. These separate systems often create compatibility problems, making them difficult to use and maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, high-quality security products exist but often come with high price tags, deterring many budget-minded enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
