Messe Frankfurt Middle East has revealed that the 25th edition of Intersec, the world's leading business event for safety, security, and fire protection, held in Dubai earlier this year, resulted in a potential business buying capacity of over US$16.7 billion (\u00a313.11bn) for the industry.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

According to the organisers, the event saw significant deals, including a strategic agreement between Moro Hub, a subsidiary of Digital DEWA, and the Judicial Inspection Authority (JIA) to implement a comprehensive Judicial Performance Management system and develop an advanced website for the authority. Moro Hub also signed a strategic agreement with the Security Industry Regulatory Agency (SIRA) at Intersec<\/a> 2024, establishing a collaboration to strengthen coordination and cooperation in smart city security. Digital Mobility Services (DMS) - Econocom also formed a strategic partnership with Streamax to develop smart transportation systems in Saudi Arabia, utilising advanced AI to enhance public transport efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Intersec organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \"This monumental achievement underscores the importance of Intersec as a pivotal platform for fostering business partnerships and driving the industry's growth. The potential buying capacity generated at Intersec highlights the event's influence and its critical role in facilitating groundbreaking deals and collaborations that shape the future of safety, security, and fire protection.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Business Market Insights forecasts that the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) homeland security market will be worth US$15,601.75 million by 2028. As Intersec prepares to return to the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) for its 26th edition from 14-16 January 2025, the event is poised to continue fostering significant business opportunities and partnerships, with factors such as digitalisation and the rise in the number of airports and passenger traffic driving the industry forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event will also feature 12 country pavilions, including the UK, France and Singapore, highlighting Intersec's global reach as a hub for networking and innovation in safety, security, and fire protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Show highlights for 2025 include the debut of the CISO Business Briefing, an exclusive, closed-door gathering for Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) across various industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis forum represents a vital addition to Intersec, offering a unique platform for CISOs to engage in strategic discussions, knowledge sharing, and collaborative problem-solving. Under Chatham House rules, participants will explore cutting-edge technologies, threat intelligence, regulatory compliance, and best practices, engaging in high-level dialogues with industry experts and thought leaders, addressing the latest challenges in cybersecurity,\" Tuchten explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the organisers, the event saw significant deals, including a strategic agreement between Moro Hub, a subsidiary of Digital DEWA, and the Judicial Inspection Authority (JIA) to implement a comprehensive Judicial Performance Management system and develop an advanced website for the authority.

Business Market Insights forecasts that the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) homeland security market will be worth US$15,601.75 million by 2028. As Intersec prepares to return to the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) for its 26th edition from 14-16 January 2025, the event is poised to continue fostering significant business opportunities and partnerships, with factors such as digitalisation and the rise in the number of airports and passenger traffic driving the industry forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec Saudi Arabia, the country\u2019s leading trade fair for security, safety, and fire protection, will highlight the importance of fire safety strategies in the built environment in a panel discussion with Neil Odin, Chief Fire Officer from the UK National Fire Chiefs Council, a leading figure in fire safety.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

These projects encompass a wide range of sectors, including residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure construction, underscoring the need for an effective Fire Safe Design strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A response strategy cannot stand alone; it must be intricately linked with fire-safe building designs and comprehensive prevention strategies. Understanding the root causes of fire disasters and sharing this knowledge is key to innovating effective solutions,\" said Odin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Middle East, particularly Saudi Arabia, holds the potential to lead in global fire management through its focus on designing out risks in new developments,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The session at the show<\/a> will discuss the crucial phases following a fire, highlighting best practices and innovative approaches to post-incident recovery, focusing on restoring normality in affected populations, buildings, and responder teams.

Intersec Saudi Arabia, the country\u2019s leading trade fair for security, safety, and fire protection, will highlight the importance of fire safety strategies in the built environment in a panel discussion with Neil Odin, Chief Fire Officer from the UK National Fire Chiefs Council, a leading figure in fire safety.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With more than 30 years of experience in the UK fire service, Odin will bring unique insights into the challenges faced by the Middle East as part of his panel discussion, Crisis to Recovery: Strategies for Effective Fire Post-Incident Management, which takes place on the opening day of the exhibition as part of the Fire Protection & Technology Summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A response strategy cannot stand alone; it must be intricately linked with fire-safe building designs and comprehensive prevention strategies. Understanding the root causes of fire disasters and sharing this knowledge is key to innovating effective solutions,\" said Odin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Middle East, particularly Saudi Arabia, holds the potential to lead in global fire management through its focus on designing out risks in new developments,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The session at the show<\/a> will discuss the crucial phases following a fire, highlighting best practices and innovative approaches to post-incident recovery, focusing on restoring normality in affected populations, buildings, and responder teams.

Intersec Saudi Arabia, the country\u2019s leading trade fair for security, safety, and fire protection, will highlight the importance of fire safety strategies in the built environment in a panel discussion with Neil Odin, Chief Fire Officer from the UK National Fire Chiefs Council, a leading figure in fire safety.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

With more than 30 years of experience in the UK fire service, Odin will bring unique insights into the challenges faced by the Middle East as part of his panel discussion, Crisis to Recovery: Strategies for Effective Fire Post-Incident Management, which takes place on the opening day of the exhibition as part of the Fire Protection & Technology Summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These projects encompass a wide range of sectors, including residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure construction, underscoring the need for an effective Fire Safe Design strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A response strategy cannot stand alone; it must be intricately linked with fire-safe building designs and comprehensive prevention strategies. Understanding the root causes of fire disasters and sharing this knowledge is key to innovating effective solutions,\" said Odin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Middle East, particularly Saudi Arabia, holds the potential to lead in global fire management through its focus on designing out risks in new developments,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These projects encompass a wide range of sectors, including residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure construction, underscoring the need for an effective Fire Safe Design strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A response strategy cannot stand alone; it must be intricately linked with fire-safe building designs and comprehensive prevention strategies. Understanding the root causes of fire disasters and sharing this knowledge is key to innovating effective solutions,\" said Odin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Middle East, particularly Saudi Arabia, holds the potential to lead in global fire management through its focus on designing out risks in new developments,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec Saudi Arabia, the country\u2019s leading trade fair for security, safety, and fire protection, will highlight the importance of fire safety strategies in the built environment in a panel discussion with Neil Odin, Chief Fire Officer from the UK National Fire Chiefs Council, a leading figure in fire safety.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Middle East, particularly Saudi Arabia, holds the potential to lead in global fire management through its focus on designing out risks in new developments,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec Saudi Arabia, the country\u2019s leading trade fair for security, safety, and fire protection, will highlight the importance of fire safety strategies in the built environment in a panel discussion with Neil Odin, Chief Fire Officer from the UK National Fire Chiefs Council, a leading figure in fire safety.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\"A response strategy cannot stand alone; it must be intricately linked with fire-safe building designs and comprehensive prevention strategies. Understanding the root causes of fire disasters and sharing this knowledge is key to innovating effective solutions,\" said Odin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Middle East, particularly Saudi Arabia, holds the potential to lead in global fire management through its focus on designing out risks in new developments,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These projects encompass a wide range of sectors, including residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure construction, underscoring the need for an effective Fire Safe Design strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A response strategy cannot stand alone; it must be intricately linked with fire-safe building designs and comprehensive prevention strategies. Understanding the root causes of fire disasters and sharing this knowledge is key to innovating effective solutions,\" said Odin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Middle East, particularly Saudi Arabia, holds the potential to lead in global fire management through its focus on designing out risks in new developments,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The session at the show<\/a> will discuss the crucial phases following a fire, highlighting best practices and innovative approaches to post-incident recovery, focusing on restoring normality in affected populations, buildings, and responder teams. Jamal Al Ghamdi, Corporate Process Safety Director, Sadara Chemical Company, will join Odin on the panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second day of the Summit will see a full agenda addressing topics such as Integrating IoT and AI in Fire Safety Systems, Maturity of Robotics Deployment in Fire Fighting, Safeguarding Fire Safety Infrastructure Against Threats and Challenges, and Fire Challenges Due to Climate Change with a range of experts from various fields critical to fire safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saudi Arabia is rapidly modernising and diversifying its economy under Vision 2030, aiming to reduce oil dependency and develop key public sectors. A critical element of this transformation is the growth of the security services sector, driven by expanding urban centres, the need to protect critical infrastructure, and a diversifying economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Astute Analytica, the Saudi security services market is projected to reach $14.59 billion (\u00a310.98bn) by 2032, growing at a compound annual rate of 8.1% from 2024 to 2032.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Intersec prepares to return to the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) for its 26th edition from 14-16 January 2025, the event is poised to continue fostering significant business opportunities and partnerships, with factors such as digitalisation and the rise in the number of airports and passenger traffic driving the industry forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Intersec 2025, themed \"The world\u2019s number one event mapping the future in safety, security, and fire protection,\" will offer a platform for networking, conducting business, and showcasing innovative technology and innovations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2025 edition of Intersec is expected to see an increase in participation and attendance, with a 15% growth in exhibitors to 1,200 and a 10% rise in visitor numbers to 52,000 from 47,506, with attendees from over 140 countries.

Show highlights for 2025 include the debut of the CISO Business Briefing, an exclusive, closed-door gathering for Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) across various industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis forum represents a vital addition to Intersec, offering a unique platform for CISOs to engage in strategic discussions, knowledge sharing, and collaborative problem-solving. Under Chatham House rules, participants will explore cutting-edge technologies, threat intelligence, regulatory compliance, and best practices, engaging in high-level dialogues with industry experts and thought leaders, addressing the latest challenges in cybersecurity,\" Tuchten explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor young professionals, this sector offers numerous opportunities for career advancement. Entry-level roles in corporate security, consulting, and other specialised areas quickly lead to managerial or executive positions with the correct training, certification, and continuous development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saudi Arabia is rapidly modernising and diversifying its economy under Vision 2030, aiming to reduce oil dependency and develop key public sectors. A critical element of this transformation is the growth of the security services sector, driven by expanding urban centres, the need to protect critical infrastructure, and a diversifying economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Astute Analytica, the Saudi security services market is projected to reach $14.59 billion (\u00a310.98bn) by 2032, growing at a compound annual rate of 8.1% from 2024 to 2032.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As outlined by Meshal, a commitment to learning ensures that security professionals remain equipped to tackle new challenges and seize emerging opportunities in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOngoing education is key to staying competitive in the constantly evolving security landscape. As new technologies, risks, and practices emerge, professionals must stay informed through certifications, conferences, formal education, self-study and joining professional security associations such as ASIS International.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The packed Future Security and Safety Summit agenda on the opening day addressed a range of topics, including the integrated security strategies for mega events in Saudi Arabia, which included insights from Helmut Spahn, Director Safety, Security & Access, FIFA, and Ammar Almubayedh, NEOM Security.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riham Sedik, Show Manager \u2013 Intersec Saudi Arabia, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \u201cThe security industry in the Middle East is evolving rapidly, presenting tremendous career progression opportunities for professionals at all levels. With major infrastructure, technology, and cybersecurity investments, particularly in regions like Saudi Arabia, there is an increasing demand for skilled individuals across various security sectors. Whether in digital security, fire protection, or perimeter defence, professionals can leverage these growth areas to advance their careers and significantly impact the region\u2019s security landscape.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Middle East\u2019s dynamic and rapidly evolving security sector is on an upward trajectory, and demand for industry professionals able to adapt to emerging technologies, tackle new threats, and ensure the protection of assets, individuals, and organisations is creating a wealth of opportunities for those interested in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor young professionals, this sector offers numerous opportunities for career advancement. Entry-level roles in corporate security, consulting, and other specialised areas quickly lead to managerial or executive positions with the correct training, certification, and continuous development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saudi Arabia is rapidly modernising and diversifying its economy under Vision 2030, aiming to reduce oil dependency and develop key public sectors. A critical element of this transformation is the growth of the security services sector, driven by expanding urban centres, the need to protect critical infrastructure, and a diversifying economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Astute Analytica, the Saudi security services market is projected to reach $14.59 billion (\u00a310.98bn) by 2032, growing at a compound annual rate of 8.1% from 2024 to 2032.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As outlined by Meshal, a commitment to learning ensures that security professionals remain equipped to tackle new challenges and seize emerging opportunities in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOngoing education is key to staying competitive in the constantly evolving security landscape. As new technologies, risks, and practices emerge, professionals must stay informed through certifications, conferences, formal education, self-study and joining professional security associations such as ASIS International.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The packed Future Security and Safety Summit agenda on the opening day addressed a range of topics, including the integrated security strategies for mega events in Saudi Arabia, which included insights from Helmut Spahn, Director Safety, Security & Access, FIFA, and Ammar Almubayedh, NEOM Security.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riham Sedik, Show Manager \u2013 Intersec Saudi Arabia, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \u201cThe security industry in the Middle East is evolving rapidly, presenting tremendous career progression opportunities for professionals at all levels. With major infrastructure, technology, and cybersecurity investments, particularly in regions like Saudi Arabia, there is an increasing demand for skilled individuals across various security sectors. Whether in digital security, fire protection, or perimeter defence, professionals can leverage these growth areas to advance their careers and significantly impact the region\u2019s security landscape.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running concurrently with the Future Security and Safety Summit is the Fire Protection and Technology Summit. It was opened by a keynote address from Major General Dr. Hamoud bin Suleiman Al-Faraj, General Directorate of Saudi Civil Defense, in which he highlighted the latest strategies and technologies employed for the nation's safety through preventive awareness measures to create a safe society free of risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow will see presentations from various experts, with topics focused on \u2018Promoting a diverse and inclusive culture for the security workforce\u2019, \u2018AI on security and safety industry: impact and concerns\u2019, \u2018Physical Security Vs Cybersecurity\u2019, and \u2018Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)\u2019, amongst others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Fire Protection & Technology Summit, the agenda will be led by discussions on \u2018Effectiveness of deployed technologies in fire detection\u2019, \u2018Harnessing the potential of IoT in early fire detection\u2019 and \u2018Fire safety of health facilities\u2019, taking centre stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bilal Al Barmawi, CEO and Founder of 1st<\/sup> Arabia Trade Shows & Conferences, said: \u201cWith the 2024 edition of Intersec Saudi Arabia expected to be the largest to date by welcoming 17,000 visitors, the next two days promise to be a game-changer for the industry in Saudi Arabia.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking during the opening day of Intersect Saudi Arabia as part of the Future Security and Safety Summit, Meshal Al Johani, an industry expert with more than 16 years of experience across the security spectrum, predominantly at Aramco, outlined the opportunities for the next generation of security experts and the required skillset, during his session, \u2018Roadmap to a successful security career\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Middle East\u2019s dynamic and rapidly evolving security sector is on an upward trajectory, and demand for industry professionals able to adapt to emerging technologies, tackle new threats, and ensure the protection of assets, individuals, and organisations is creating a wealth of opportunities for those interested in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor young professionals, this sector offers numerous opportunities for career advancement. Entry-level roles in corporate security, consulting, and other specialised areas quickly lead to managerial or executive positions with the correct training, certification, and continuous development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saudi Arabia is rapidly modernising and diversifying its economy under Vision 2030, aiming to reduce oil dependency and develop key public sectors. A critical element of this transformation is the growth of the security services sector, driven by expanding urban centres, the need to protect critical infrastructure, and a diversifying economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Astute Analytica, the Saudi security services market is projected to reach $14.59 billion (\u00a310.98bn) by 2032, growing at a compound annual rate of 8.1% from 2024 to 2032.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As outlined by Meshal, a commitment to learning ensures that security professionals remain equipped to tackle new challenges and seize emerging opportunities in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOngoing education is key to staying competitive in the constantly evolving security landscape. As new technologies, risks, and practices emerge, professionals must stay informed through certifications, conferences, formal education, self-study and joining professional security associations such as ASIS International.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The packed Future Security and Safety Summit agenda on the opening day addressed a range of topics, including the integrated security strategies for mega events in Saudi Arabia, which included insights from Helmut Spahn, Director Safety, Security & Access, FIFA, and Ammar Almubayedh, NEOM Security.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riham Sedik, Show Manager \u2013 Intersec Saudi Arabia, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \u201cThe security industry in the Middle East is evolving rapidly, presenting tremendous career progression opportunities for professionals at all levels. With major infrastructure, technology, and cybersecurity investments, particularly in regions like Saudi Arabia, there is an increasing demand for skilled individuals across various security sectors. Whether in digital security, fire protection, or perimeter defence, professionals can leverage these growth areas to advance their careers and significantly impact the region\u2019s security landscape.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running concurrently with the Future Security and Safety Summit is the Fire Protection and Technology Summit. It was opened by a keynote address from Major General Dr. Hamoud bin Suleiman Al-Faraj, General Directorate of Saudi Civil Defense, in which he highlighted the latest strategies and technologies employed for the nation's safety through preventive awareness measures to create a safe society free of risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow will see presentations from various experts, with topics focused on \u2018Promoting a diverse and inclusive culture for the security workforce\u2019, \u2018AI on security and safety industry: impact and concerns\u2019, \u2018Physical Security Vs Cybersecurity\u2019, and \u2018Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)\u2019, amongst others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Fire Protection & Technology Summit, the agenda will be led by discussions on \u2018Effectiveness of deployed technologies in fire detection\u2019, \u2018Harnessing the potential of IoT in early fire detection\u2019 and \u2018Fire safety of health facilities\u2019, taking centre stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bilal Al Barmawi, CEO and Founder of 1st<\/sup> Arabia Trade Shows & Conferences, said: \u201cWith the 2024 edition of Intersec Saudi Arabia expected to be the largest to date by welcoming 17,000 visitors, the next two days promise to be a game-changer for the industry in Saudi Arabia.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking during the opening day of Intersect Saudi Arabia as part of the Future Security and Safety Summit, Meshal Al Johani, an industry expert with more than 16 years of experience across the security spectrum, predominantly at Aramco, outlined the opportunities for the next generation of security experts and the required skillset, during his session, \u2018Roadmap to a successful security career\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Middle East\u2019s dynamic and rapidly evolving security sector is on an upward trajectory, and demand for industry professionals able to adapt to emerging technologies, tackle new threats, and ensure the protection of assets, individuals, and organisations is creating a wealth of opportunities for those interested in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor young professionals, this sector offers numerous opportunities for career advancement. Entry-level roles in corporate security, consulting, and other specialised areas quickly lead to managerial or executive positions with the correct training, certification, and continuous development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saudi Arabia is rapidly modernising and diversifying its economy under Vision 2030, aiming to reduce oil dependency and develop key public sectors. A critical element of this transformation is the growth of the security services sector, driven by expanding urban centres, the need to protect critical infrastructure, and a diversifying economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Astute Analytica, the Saudi security services market is projected to reach $14.59 billion (\u00a310.98bn) by 2032, growing at a compound annual rate of 8.1% from 2024 to 2032.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As outlined by Meshal, a commitment to learning ensures that security professionals remain equipped to tackle new challenges and seize emerging opportunities in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOngoing education is key to staying competitive in the constantly evolving security landscape. As new technologies, risks, and practices emerge, professionals must stay informed through certifications, conferences, formal education, self-study and joining professional security associations such as ASIS International.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The packed Future Security and Safety Summit agenda on the opening day addressed a range of topics, including the integrated security strategies for mega events in Saudi Arabia, which included insights from Helmut Spahn, Director Safety, Security & Access, FIFA, and Ammar Almubayedh, NEOM Security.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riham Sedik, Show Manager \u2013 Intersec Saudi Arabia, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \u201cThe security industry in the Middle East is evolving rapidly, presenting tremendous career progression opportunities for professionals at all levels. With major infrastructure, technology, and cybersecurity investments, particularly in regions like Saudi Arabia, there is an increasing demand for skilled individuals across various security sectors. Whether in digital security, fire protection, or perimeter defence, professionals can leverage these growth areas to advance their careers and significantly impact the region\u2019s security landscape.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running concurrently with the Future Security and Safety Summit is the Fire Protection and Technology Summit. It was opened by a keynote address from Major General Dr. Hamoud bin Suleiman Al-Faraj, General Directorate of Saudi Civil Defense, in which he highlighted the latest strategies and technologies employed for the nation's safety through preventive awareness measures to create a safe society free of risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow will see presentations from various experts, with topics focused on \u2018Promoting a diverse and inclusive culture for the security workforce\u2019, \u2018AI on security and safety industry: impact and concerns\u2019, \u2018Physical Security Vs Cybersecurity\u2019, and \u2018Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)\u2019, amongst others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Fire Protection & Technology Summit, the agenda will be led by discussions on \u2018Effectiveness of deployed technologies in fire detection\u2019, \u2018Harnessing the potential of IoT in early fire detection\u2019 and \u2018Fire safety of health facilities\u2019, taking centre stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bilal Al Barmawi, CEO and Founder of 1st<\/sup> Arabia Trade Shows & Conferences, said: \u201cWith the 2024 edition of Intersec Saudi Arabia expected to be the largest to date by welcoming 17,000 visitors, the next two days promise to be a game-changer for the industry in Saudi Arabia.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec Saudi Arabia<\/a>, the country\u2019s leading trade fair for security, safety, and fire protection, has underscored the burgeoning career opportunities in the Middle East\u2019s security sector, as industry experts underscored the industry\u2019 diverse nature and opportunities for growth, innovation, and leadership.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Speaking during the opening day of Intersect Saudi Arabia as part of the Future Security and Safety Summit, Meshal Al Johani, an industry expert with more than 16 years of experience across the security spectrum, predominantly at Aramco, outlined the opportunities for the next generation of security experts and the required skillset, during his session, \u2018Roadmap to a successful security career\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Middle East\u2019s dynamic and rapidly evolving security sector is on an upward trajectory, and demand for industry professionals able to adapt to emerging technologies, tackle new threats, and ensure the protection of assets, individuals, and organisations is creating a wealth of opportunities for those interested in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor young professionals, this sector offers numerous opportunities for career advancement. Entry-level roles in corporate security, consulting, and other specialised areas quickly lead to managerial or executive positions with the correct training, certification, and continuous development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saudi Arabia is rapidly modernising and diversifying its economy under Vision 2030, aiming to reduce oil dependency and develop key public sectors. A critical element of this transformation is the growth of the security services sector, driven by expanding urban centres, the need to protect critical infrastructure, and a diversifying economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Astute Analytica, the Saudi security services market is projected to reach $14.59 billion (\u00a310.98bn) by 2032, growing at a compound annual rate of 8.1% from 2024 to 2032.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As outlined by Meshal, a commitment to learning ensures that security professionals remain equipped to tackle new challenges and seize emerging opportunities in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOngoing education is key to staying competitive in the constantly evolving security landscape. As new technologies, risks, and practices emerge, professionals must stay informed through certifications, conferences, formal education, self-study and joining professional security associations such as ASIS International.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The packed Future Security and Safety Summit agenda on the opening day addressed a range of topics, including the integrated security strategies for mega events in Saudi Arabia, which included insights from Helmut Spahn, Director Safety, Security & Access, FIFA, and Ammar Almubayedh, NEOM Security.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riham Sedik, Show Manager \u2013 Intersec Saudi Arabia, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \u201cThe security industry in the Middle East is evolving rapidly, presenting tremendous career progression opportunities for professionals at all levels. With major infrastructure, technology, and cybersecurity investments, particularly in regions like Saudi Arabia, there is an increasing demand for skilled individuals across various security sectors. Whether in digital security, fire protection, or perimeter defence, professionals can leverage these growth areas to advance their careers and significantly impact the region\u2019s security landscape.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running concurrently with the Future Security and Safety Summit is the Fire Protection and Technology Summit. It was opened by a keynote address from Major General Dr. Hamoud bin Suleiman Al-Faraj, General Directorate of Saudi Civil Defense, in which he highlighted the latest strategies and technologies employed for the nation's safety through preventive awareness measures to create a safe society free of risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow will see presentations from various experts, with topics focused on \u2018Promoting a diverse and inclusive culture for the security workforce\u2019, \u2018AI on security and safety industry: impact and concerns\u2019, \u2018Physical Security Vs Cybersecurity\u2019, and \u2018Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)\u2019, amongst others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Fire Protection & Technology Summit, the agenda will be led by discussions on \u2018Effectiveness of deployed technologies in fire detection\u2019, \u2018Harnessing the potential of IoT in early fire detection\u2019 and \u2018Fire safety of health facilities\u2019, taking centre stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bilal Al Barmawi, CEO and Founder of 1st<\/sup> Arabia Trade Shows & Conferences, said: \u201cWith the 2024 edition of Intersec Saudi Arabia expected to be the largest to date by welcoming 17,000 visitors, the next two days promise to be a game-changer for the industry in Saudi Arabia.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec Saudi Arabia<\/a>, the country\u2019s leading trade fair for security, safety, and fire protection, has underscored the burgeoning career opportunities in the Middle East\u2019s security sector, as industry experts underscored the industry\u2019 diverse nature and opportunities for growth, innovation, and leadership.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Speaking during the opening day of Intersect Saudi Arabia as part of the Future Security and Safety Summit, Meshal Al Johani, an industry expert with more than 16 years of experience across the security spectrum, predominantly at Aramco, outlined the opportunities for the next generation of security experts and the required skillset, during his session, \u2018Roadmap to a successful security career\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Middle East\u2019s dynamic and rapidly evolving security sector is on an upward trajectory, and demand for industry professionals able to adapt to emerging technologies, tackle new threats, and ensure the protection of assets, individuals, and organisations is creating a wealth of opportunities for those interested in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor young professionals, this sector offers numerous opportunities for career advancement. Entry-level roles in corporate security, consulting, and other specialised areas quickly lead to managerial or executive positions with the correct training, certification, and continuous development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saudi Arabia is rapidly modernising and diversifying its economy under Vision 2030, aiming to reduce oil dependency and develop key public sectors. A critical element of this transformation is the growth of the security services sector, driven by expanding urban centres, the need to protect critical infrastructure, and a diversifying economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Astute Analytica, the Saudi security services market is projected to reach $14.59 billion (\u00a310.98bn) by 2032, growing at a compound annual rate of 8.1% from 2024 to 2032.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As outlined by Meshal, a commitment to learning ensures that security professionals remain equipped to tackle new challenges and seize emerging opportunities in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOngoing education is key to staying competitive in the constantly evolving security landscape. As new technologies, risks, and practices emerge, professionals must stay informed through certifications, conferences, formal education, self-study and joining professional security associations such as ASIS International.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The packed Future Security and Safety Summit agenda on the opening day addressed a range of topics, including the integrated security strategies for mega events in Saudi Arabia, which included insights from Helmut Spahn, Director Safety, Security & Access, FIFA, and Ammar Almubayedh, NEOM Security.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riham Sedik, Show Manager \u2013 Intersec Saudi Arabia, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \u201cThe security industry in the Middle East is evolving rapidly, presenting tremendous career progression opportunities for professionals at all levels. With major infrastructure, technology, and cybersecurity investments, particularly in regions like Saudi Arabia, there is an increasing demand for skilled individuals across various security sectors. Whether in digital security, fire protection, or perimeter defence, professionals can leverage these growth areas to advance their careers and significantly impact the region\u2019s security landscape.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running concurrently with the Future Security and Safety Summit is the Fire Protection and Technology Summit. It was opened by a keynote address from Major General Dr. Hamoud bin Suleiman Al-Faraj, General Directorate of Saudi Civil Defense, in which he highlighted the latest strategies and technologies employed for the nation's safety through preventive awareness measures to create a safe society free of risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow will see presentations from various experts, with topics focused on \u2018Promoting a diverse and inclusive culture for the security workforce\u2019, \u2018AI on security and safety industry: impact and concerns\u2019, \u2018Physical Security Vs Cybersecurity\u2019, and \u2018Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)\u2019, amongst others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Fire Protection & Technology Summit, the agenda will be led by discussions on \u2018Effectiveness of deployed technologies in fire detection\u2019, \u2018Harnessing the potential of IoT in early fire detection\u2019 and \u2018Fire safety of health facilities\u2019, taking centre stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bilal Al Barmawi, CEO and Founder of 1st<\/sup> Arabia Trade Shows & Conferences, said: \u201cWith the 2024 edition of Intersec Saudi Arabia expected to be the largest to date by welcoming 17,000 visitors, the next two days promise to be a game-changer for the industry in Saudi Arabia.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec Saudi Arabia<\/a>, the country\u2019s leading trade fair for security, safety, and fire protection, has underscored the burgeoning career opportunities in the Middle East\u2019s security sector, as industry experts underscored the industry\u2019 diverse nature and opportunities for growth, innovation, and leadership.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Speaking during the opening day of Intersect Saudi Arabia as part of the Future Security and Safety Summit, Meshal Al Johani, an industry expert with more than 16 years of experience across the security spectrum, predominantly at Aramco, outlined the opportunities for the next generation of security experts and the required skillset, during his session, \u2018Roadmap to a successful security career\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Middle East\u2019s dynamic and rapidly evolving security sector is on an upward trajectory, and demand for industry professionals able to adapt to emerging technologies, tackle new threats, and ensure the protection of assets, individuals, and organisations is creating a wealth of opportunities for those interested in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor young professionals, this sector offers numerous opportunities for career advancement. Entry-level roles in corporate security, consulting, and other specialised areas quickly lead to managerial or executive positions with the correct training, certification, and continuous development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saudi Arabia is rapidly modernising and diversifying its economy under Vision 2030, aiming to reduce oil dependency and develop key public sectors. A critical element of this transformation is the growth of the security services sector, driven by expanding urban centres, the need to protect critical infrastructure, and a diversifying economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Astute Analytica, the Saudi security services market is projected to reach $14.59 billion (\u00a310.98bn) by 2032, growing at a compound annual rate of 8.1% from 2024 to 2032.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As outlined by Meshal, a commitment to learning ensures that security professionals remain equipped to tackle new challenges and seize emerging opportunities in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOngoing education is key to staying competitive in the constantly evolving security landscape. As new technologies, risks, and practices emerge, professionals must stay informed through certifications, conferences, formal education, self-study and joining professional security associations such as ASIS International.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The packed Future Security and Safety Summit agenda on the opening day addressed a range of topics, including the integrated security strategies for mega events in Saudi Arabia, which included insights from Helmut Spahn, Director Safety, Security & Access, FIFA, and Ammar Almubayedh, NEOM Security.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riham Sedik, Show Manager \u2013 Intersec Saudi Arabia, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \u201cThe security industry in the Middle East is evolving rapidly, presenting tremendous career progression opportunities for professionals at all levels. With major infrastructure, technology, and cybersecurity investments, particularly in regions like Saudi Arabia, there is an increasing demand for skilled individuals across various security sectors. Whether in digital security, fire protection, or perimeter defence, professionals can leverage these growth areas to advance their careers and significantly impact the region\u2019s security landscape.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running concurrently with the Future Security and Safety Summit is the Fire Protection and Technology Summit. It was opened by a keynote address from Major General Dr. Hamoud bin Suleiman Al-Faraj, General Directorate of Saudi Civil Defense, in which he highlighted the latest strategies and technologies employed for the nation's safety through preventive awareness measures to create a safe society free of risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow will see presentations from various experts, with topics focused on \u2018Promoting a diverse and inclusive culture for the security workforce\u2019, \u2018AI on security and safety industry: impact and concerns\u2019, \u2018Physical Security Vs Cybersecurity\u2019, and \u2018Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)\u2019, amongst others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Fire Protection & Technology Summit, the agenda will be led by discussions on \u2018Effectiveness of deployed technologies in fire detection\u2019, \u2018Harnessing the potential of IoT in early fire detection\u2019 and \u2018Fire safety of health facilities\u2019, taking centre stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bilal Al Barmawi, CEO and Founder of 1st<\/sup> Arabia Trade Shows & Conferences, said: \u201cWith the 2024 edition of Intersec Saudi Arabia expected to be the largest to date by welcoming 17,000 visitors, the next two days promise to be a game-changer for the industry in Saudi Arabia.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec Saudi Arabia, the country\u2019s leading trade fair for security, safety, and fire protection, will highlight the importance of fire safety strategies in the built environment in a panel discussion with Neil Odin, Chief Fire Officer from the UK National Fire Chiefs Council, a leading figure in fire safety.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

With more than 30 years of experience in the UK fire service, Odin will bring unique insights into the challenges faced by the Middle East as part of his panel discussion, Crisis to Recovery: Strategies for Effective Fire Post-Incident Management, which takes place on the opening day of the exhibition as part of the Fire Protection & Technology Summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to research from Mordor Intelligence, Saudi Arabia currently has over 5,200 ongoing construction projects, with an estimated total value exceeding $819 billion (US). These projects encompass a wide range of sectors, including residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure construction, underscoring the need for an effective Fire Safe Design strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A response strategy cannot stand alone; it must be intricately linked with fire-safe building designs and comprehensive prevention strategies. Understanding the root causes of fire disasters and sharing this knowledge is key to innovating effective solutions,\" said Odin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Middle East, particularly Saudi Arabia, holds the potential to lead in global fire management through its focus on designing out risks in new developments,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The session at the show<\/a> will discuss the crucial phases following a fire, highlighting best practices and innovative approaches to post-incident recovery, focusing on restoring normality in affected populations, buildings, and responder teams.

Intersec Saudi Arabia<\/a>, the country\u2019s leading trade fair for security, safety, and fire protection, has underscored the burgeoning career opportunities in the Middle East\u2019s security sector, as industry experts underscored the industry\u2019 diverse nature and opportunities for growth, innovation, and leadership.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Speaking during the opening day of Intersect Saudi Arabia as part of the Future Security and Safety Summit, Meshal Al Johani, an industry expert with more than 16 years of experience across the security spectrum, predominantly at Aramco, outlined the opportunities for the next generation of security experts and the required skillset, during his session, \u2018Roadmap to a successful security career\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Middle East\u2019s dynamic and rapidly evolving security sector is on an upward trajectory, and demand for industry professionals able to adapt to emerging technologies, tackle new threats, and ensure the protection of assets, individuals, and organisations is creating a wealth of opportunities for those interested in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor young professionals, this sector offers numerous opportunities for career advancement. Entry-level roles in corporate security, consulting, and other specialised areas quickly lead to managerial or executive positions with the correct training, certification, and continuous development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saudi Arabia is rapidly modernising and diversifying its economy under Vision 2030, aiming to reduce oil dependency and develop key public sectors. A critical element of this transformation is the growth of the security services sector, driven by expanding urban centres, the need to protect critical infrastructure, and a diversifying economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Astute Analytica, the Saudi security services market is projected to reach $14.59 billion (\u00a310.98bn) by 2032, growing at a compound annual rate of 8.1% from 2024 to 2032.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As outlined by Meshal, a commitment to learning ensures that security professionals remain equipped to tackle new challenges and seize emerging opportunities in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOngoing education is key to staying competitive in the constantly evolving security landscape. As new technologies, risks, and practices emerge, professionals must stay informed through certifications, conferences, formal education, self-study and joining professional security associations such as ASIS International.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec Saudi Arabia<\/a>, the country\u2019s leading trade fair for security, safety, and fire protection, has underscored the burgeoning career opportunities in the Middle East\u2019s security sector, as industry experts underscored the industry\u2019 diverse nature and opportunities for growth, innovation, and leadership.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Speaking during the opening day of Intersect Saudi Arabia as part of the Future Security and Safety Summit, Meshal Al Johani, an industry expert with more than 16 years of experience across the security spectrum, predominantly at Aramco, outlined the opportunities for the next generation of security experts and the required skillset, during his session, \u2018Roadmap to a successful security career\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Middle East\u2019s dynamic and rapidly evolving security sector is on an upward trajectory, and demand for industry professionals able to adapt to emerging technologies, tackle new threats, and ensure the protection of assets, individuals, and organisations is creating a wealth of opportunities for those interested in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor young professionals, this sector offers numerous opportunities for career advancement. Entry-level roles in corporate security, consulting, and other specialised areas quickly lead to managerial or executive positions with the correct training, certification, and continuous development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saudi Arabia is rapidly modernising and diversifying its economy under Vision 2030, aiming to reduce oil dependency and develop key public sectors. A critical element of this transformation is the growth of the security services sector, driven by expanding urban centres, the need to protect critical infrastructure, and a diversifying economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Astute Analytica, the Saudi security services market is projected to reach $14.59 billion (\u00a310.98bn) by 2032, growing at a compound annual rate of 8.1% from 2024 to 2032.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As outlined by Meshal, a commitment to learning ensures that security professionals remain equipped to tackle new challenges and seize emerging opportunities in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOngoing education is key to staying competitive in the constantly evolving security landscape. As new technologies, risks, and practices emerge, professionals must stay informed through certifications, conferences, formal education, self-study and joining professional security associations such as ASIS International.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The packed Future Security and Safety Summit agenda on the opening day addressed a range of topics, including the integrated security strategies for mega events in Saudi Arabia, which included insights from Helmut Spahn, Director Safety, Security & Access, FIFA, and Ammar Almubayedh, NEOM Security.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riham Sedik, Show Manager \u2013 Intersec Saudi Arabia, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \u201cThe security industry in the Middle East is evolving rapidly, presenting tremendous career progression opportunities for professionals at all levels. With major infrastructure, technology, and cybersecurity investments, particularly in regions like Saudi Arabia, there is an increasing demand for skilled individuals across various security sectors. Whether in digital security, fire protection, or perimeter defence, professionals can leverage these growth areas to advance their careers and significantly impact the region\u2019s security landscape.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running concurrently with the Future Security and Safety Summit is the Fire Protection and Technology Summit. It was opened by a keynote address from Major General Dr. Hamoud bin Suleiman Al-Faraj, General Directorate of Saudi Civil Defense, in which he highlighted the latest strategies and technologies employed for the nation's safety through preventive awareness measures to create a safe society free of risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow will see presentations from various experts, with topics focused on \u2018Promoting a diverse and inclusive culture for the security workforce\u2019, \u2018AI on security and safety industry: impact and concerns\u2019, \u2018Physical Security Vs Cybersecurity\u2019, and \u2018Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)\u2019, amongst others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Fire Protection & Technology Summit, the agenda will be led by discussions on \u2018Effectiveness of deployed technologies in fire detection\u2019, \u2018Harnessing the potential of IoT in early fire detection\u2019 and \u2018Fire safety of health facilities\u2019, taking centre stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bilal Al Barmawi, CEO and Founder of 1st<\/sup> Arabia Trade Shows & Conferences, said: \u201cWith the 2024 edition of Intersec Saudi Arabia expected to be the largest to date by welcoming 17,000 visitors, the next two days promise to be a game-changer for the industry in Saudi Arabia.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec Saudi Arabia<\/a>, the country\u2019s leading trade fair for security, safety, and fire protection, has underscored the burgeoning career opportunities in the Middle East\u2019s security sector, as industry experts underscored the industry\u2019 diverse nature and opportunities for growth, innovation, and leadership.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Speaking during the opening day of Intersect Saudi Arabia as part of the Future Security and Safety Summit, Meshal Al Johani, an industry expert with more than 16 years of experience across the security spectrum, predominantly at Aramco, outlined the opportunities for the next generation of security experts and the required skillset, during his session, \u2018Roadmap to a successful security career\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Middle East\u2019s dynamic and rapidly evolving security sector is on an upward trajectory, and demand for industry professionals able to adapt to emerging technologies, tackle new threats, and ensure the protection of assets, individuals, and organisations is creating a wealth of opportunities for those interested in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor young professionals, this sector offers numerous opportunities for career advancement. Entry-level roles in corporate security, consulting, and other specialised areas quickly lead to managerial or executive positions with the correct training, certification, and continuous development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saudi Arabia is rapidly modernising and diversifying its economy under Vision 2030, aiming to reduce oil dependency and develop key public sectors. A critical element of this transformation is the growth of the security services sector, driven by expanding urban centres, the need to protect critical infrastructure, and a diversifying economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Astute Analytica, the Saudi security services market is projected to reach $14.59 billion (\u00a310.98bn) by 2032, growing at a compound annual rate of 8.1% from 2024 to 2032.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As outlined by Meshal, a commitment to learning ensures that security professionals remain equipped to tackle new challenges and seize emerging opportunities in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOngoing education is key to staying competitive in the constantly evolving security landscape. As new technologies, risks, and practices emerge, professionals must stay informed through certifications, conferences, formal education, self-study and joining professional security associations such as ASIS International.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The packed Future Security and Safety Summit agenda on the opening day addressed a range of topics, including the integrated security strategies for mega events in Saudi Arabia, which included insights from Helmut Spahn, Director Safety, Security & Access, FIFA, and Ammar Almubayedh, NEOM Security.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riham Sedik, Show Manager \u2013 Intersec Saudi Arabia, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \u201cThe security industry in the Middle East is evolving rapidly, presenting tremendous career progression opportunities for professionals at all levels. With major infrastructure, technology, and cybersecurity investments, particularly in regions like Saudi Arabia, there is an increasing demand for skilled individuals across various security sectors. Whether in digital security, fire protection, or perimeter defence, professionals can leverage these growth areas to advance their careers and significantly impact the region\u2019s security landscape.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running concurrently with the Future Security and Safety Summit is the Fire Protection and Technology Summit. It was opened by a keynote address from Major General Dr. Hamoud bin Suleiman Al-Faraj, General Directorate of Saudi Civil Defense, in which he highlighted the latest strategies and technologies employed for the nation's safety through preventive awareness measures to create a safe society free of risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow will see presentations from various experts, with topics focused on \u2018Promoting a diverse and inclusive culture for the security workforce\u2019, \u2018AI on security and safety industry: impact and concerns\u2019, \u2018Physical Security Vs Cybersecurity\u2019, and \u2018Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)\u2019, amongst others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Fire Protection & Technology Summit, the agenda will be led by discussions on \u2018Effectiveness of deployed technologies in fire detection\u2019, \u2018Harnessing the potential of IoT in early fire detection\u2019 and \u2018Fire safety of health facilities\u2019, taking centre stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bilal Al Barmawi, CEO and Founder of 1st<\/sup> Arabia Trade Shows & Conferences, said: \u201cWith the 2024 edition of Intersec Saudi Arabia expected to be the largest to date by welcoming 17,000 visitors, the next two days promise to be a game-changer for the industry in Saudi Arabia.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec Saudi Arabia<\/a>, the country\u2019s leading trade fair for security, safety, and fire protection, has underscored the burgeoning career opportunities in the Middle East\u2019s security sector, as industry experts underscored the industry\u2019 diverse nature and opportunities for growth, innovation, and leadership.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Speaking during the opening day of Intersect Saudi Arabia as part of the Future Security and Safety Summit, Meshal Al Johani, an industry expert with more than 16 years of experience across the security spectrum, predominantly at Aramco, outlined the opportunities for the next generation of security experts and the required skillset, during his session, \u2018Roadmap to a successful security career\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Middle East\u2019s dynamic and rapidly evolving security sector is on an upward trajectory, and demand for industry professionals able to adapt to emerging technologies, tackle new threats, and ensure the protection of assets, individuals, and organisations is creating a wealth of opportunities for those interested in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor young professionals, this sector offers numerous opportunities for career advancement. Entry-level roles in corporate security, consulting, and other specialised areas quickly lead to managerial or executive positions with the correct training, certification, and continuous development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saudi Arabia is rapidly modernising and diversifying its economy under Vision 2030, aiming to reduce oil dependency and develop key public sectors. A critical element of this transformation is the growth of the security services sector, driven by expanding urban centres, the need to protect critical infrastructure, and a diversifying economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Astute Analytica, the Saudi security services market is projected to reach $14.59 billion (\u00a310.98bn) by 2032, growing at a compound annual rate of 8.1% from 2024 to 2032.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As outlined by Meshal, a commitment to learning ensures that security professionals remain equipped to tackle new challenges and seize emerging opportunities in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOngoing education is key to staying competitive in the constantly evolving security landscape. As new technologies, risks, and practices emerge, professionals must stay informed through certifications, conferences, formal education, self-study and joining professional security associations such as ASIS International.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The packed Future Security and Safety Summit agenda on the opening day addressed a range of topics, including the integrated security strategies for mega events in Saudi Arabia, which included insights from Helmut Spahn, Director Safety, Security & Access, FIFA, and Ammar Almubayedh, NEOM Security.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riham Sedik, Show Manager \u2013 Intersec Saudi Arabia, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \u201cThe security industry in the Middle East is evolving rapidly, presenting tremendous career progression opportunities for professionals at all levels. With major infrastructure, technology, and cybersecurity investments, particularly in regions like Saudi Arabia, there is an increasing demand for skilled individuals across various security sectors. Whether in digital security, fire protection, or perimeter defence, professionals can leverage these growth areas to advance their careers and significantly impact the region\u2019s security landscape.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running concurrently with the Future Security and Safety Summit is the Fire Protection and Technology Summit. It was opened by a keynote address from Major General Dr. Hamoud bin Suleiman Al-Faraj, General Directorate of Saudi Civil Defense, in which he highlighted the latest strategies and technologies employed for the nation's safety through preventive awareness measures to create a safe society free of risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec Saudi Arabia<\/a>, the country\u2019s leading trade fair for security, safety, and fire protection, has underscored the burgeoning career opportunities in the Middle East\u2019s security sector, as industry experts underscored the industry\u2019 diverse nature and opportunities for growth, innovation, and leadership.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Speaking during the opening day of Intersect Saudi Arabia as part of the Future Security and Safety Summit, Meshal Al Johani, an industry expert with more than 16 years of experience across the security spectrum, predominantly at Aramco, outlined the opportunities for the next generation of security experts and the required skillset, during his session, \u2018Roadmap to a successful security career\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Middle East\u2019s dynamic and rapidly evolving security sector is on an upward trajectory, and demand for industry professionals able to adapt to emerging technologies, tackle new threats, and ensure the protection of assets, individuals, and organisations is creating a wealth of opportunities for those interested in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor young professionals, this sector offers numerous opportunities for career advancement. Entry-level roles in corporate security, consulting, and other specialised areas quickly lead to managerial or executive positions with the correct training, certification, and continuous development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saudi Arabia is rapidly modernising and diversifying its economy under Vision 2030, aiming to reduce oil dependency and develop key public sectors. A critical element of this transformation is the growth of the security services sector, driven by expanding urban centres, the need to protect critical infrastructure, and a diversifying economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Astute Analytica, the Saudi security services market is projected to reach $14.59 billion (\u00a310.98bn) by 2032, growing at a compound annual rate of 8.1% from 2024 to 2032.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As outlined by Meshal, a commitment to learning ensures that security professionals remain equipped to tackle new challenges and seize emerging opportunities in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOngoing education is key to staying competitive in the constantly evolving security landscape. As new technologies, risks, and practices emerge, professionals must stay informed through certifications, conferences, formal education, self-study and joining professional security associations such as ASIS International.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The packed Future Security and Safety Summit agenda on the opening day addressed a range of topics, including the integrated security strategies for mega events in Saudi Arabia, which included insights from Helmut Spahn, Director Safety, Security & Access, FIFA, and Ammar Almubayedh, NEOM Security.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riham Sedik, Show Manager \u2013 Intersec Saudi Arabia, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \u201cThe security industry in the Middle East is evolving rapidly, presenting tremendous career progression opportunities for professionals at all levels. With major infrastructure, technology, and cybersecurity investments, particularly in regions like Saudi Arabia, there is an increasing demand for skilled individuals across various security sectors. Whether in digital security, fire protection, or perimeter defence, professionals can leverage these growth areas to advance their careers and significantly impact the region\u2019s security landscape.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running concurrently with the Future Security and Safety Summit is the Fire Protection and Technology Summit. It was opened by a keynote address from Major General Dr. Hamoud bin Suleiman Al-Faraj, General Directorate of Saudi Civil Defense, in which he highlighted the latest strategies and technologies employed for the nation's safety through preventive awareness measures to create a safe society free of risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow will see presentations from various experts, with topics focused on \u2018Promoting a diverse and inclusive culture for the security workforce\u2019, \u2018AI on security and safety industry: impact and concerns\u2019, \u2018Physical Security Vs Cybersecurity\u2019, and \u2018Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)\u2019, amongst others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Fire Protection & Technology Summit, the agenda will be led by discussions on \u2018Effectiveness of deployed technologies in fire detection\u2019, \u2018Harnessing the potential of IoT in early fire detection\u2019 and \u2018Fire safety of health facilities\u2019, taking centre stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entry-level roles in corporate security, consulting, and other specialised areas quickly lead to managerial or executive positions with the correct training, certification, and continuous development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saudi Arabia is rapidly modernising and diversifying its economy under Vision 2030, aiming to reduce oil dependency and develop key public sectors. A critical element of this transformation is the growth of the security services sector, driven by expanding urban centres, the need to protect critical infrastructure, and a diversifying economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Astute Analytica, the Saudi security services market is projected to reach $14.59 billion (\u00a310.98bn) by 2032, growing at a compound annual rate of 8.1% from 2024 to 2032.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As outlined by Meshal, a commitment to learning ensures that security professionals remain equipped to tackle new challenges and seize emerging opportunities in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOngoing education is key to staying competitive in the constantly evolving security landscape. As new technologies, risks, and practices emerge, professionals must stay informed through certifications, conferences, formal education, self-study and joining professional security associations such as ASIS International.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The packed Future Security and Safety Summit agenda on the opening day addressed a range of topics, including the integrated security strategies for mega events in Saudi Arabia, which included insights from Helmut Spahn, Director Safety, Security & Access, FIFA, and Ammar Almubayedh, NEOM Security.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riham Sedik, Show Manager \u2013 Intersec Saudi Arabia, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \u201cThe security industry in the Middle East is evolving rapidly, presenting tremendous career progression opportunities for professionals at all levels. With major infrastructure, technology, and cybersecurity investments, particularly in regions like Saudi Arabia, there is an increasing demand for skilled individuals across various security sectors. Whether in digital security, fire protection, or perimeter defence, professionals can leverage these growth areas to advance their careers and significantly impact the region\u2019s security landscape.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running concurrently with the Future Security and Safety Summit is the Fire Protection and Technology Summit. It was opened by a keynote address from Major General Dr. Hamoud bin Suleiman Al-Faraj, General Directorate of Saudi Civil Defense, in which he highlighted the latest strategies and technologies employed for the nation's safety through preventive awareness measures to create a safe society free of risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow will see presentations from various experts, with topics focused on \u2018Promoting a diverse and inclusive culture for the security workforce\u2019, \u2018AI on security and safety industry: impact and concerns\u2019, \u2018Physical Security Vs Cybersecurity\u2019, and \u2018Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)\u2019, amongst others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Fire Protection & Technology Summit, the agenda will be led by discussions on \u2018Effectiveness of deployed technologies in fire detection\u2019, \u2018Harnessing the potential of IoT in early fire detection\u2019 and \u2018Fire safety of health facilities\u2019, taking centre stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bilal Al Barmawi, CEO and Founder of 1st<\/sup> Arabia Trade Shows & Conferences, said: \u201cWith the 2024 edition of Intersec Saudi Arabia expected to be the largest to date by welcoming 17,000 visitors, the next two days promise to be a game-changer for the industry in Saudi Arabia.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPrivacy issues from using AI in surveillance and data analysis raise significant privacy concerns. Bias, discrimination, and fairness are where AI systems can inherit biases from their training data, leading to unfair decision-making by targeting or profiling certain individuals or groups,\u201d said Al Utaibi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, job displacement is a concern as automation of security and safety monitoring and management tasks could lead to job losses. Ethical and legal concerns are always there when engaging with AI in decision-making processes, such as predictive policing, which raises ethical questions about accountability and transparency, as well as long-term cultural perception,\u201d he added.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUltimately, AI has the potential to have a big, positive impact; however, there are many concerns,\u201d concluded Al Utaibi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elsewhere, on the final day, the Future Readiness Programme, a key platform for government officials and security leaders, will focus on navigating today\u2019s security landscape and developing future-ready solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the programme, sessions address the evolution of security threats, offering insights into trends, challenges, and emerging risks. Highlighting national transformation efforts to modernise security entities, the sessions will focus on talent development, innovation, mission readiness, and future capabilities. Additionally, it explores advanced technologies, such as AI and machine learning, equipping leaders with critical strategies to tackle evolving challenges and ensure resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riham Sedik, Show Manager\u2014Intersec Saudi Arabia, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said, \u201cIntersec Saudi Arabia 2024 plays a pivotal role in spotlighting the groundbreaking advancements and contributions of GCC nations in reshaping the fire, safety and security industry. The event is a testament to Saudi Arabia\u2019s commitment to showcasing pioneering technology integration, particularly in AI, redefining the future of safety and crisis management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec Saudi Arabia<\/a>, the country\u2019s leading trade fair for security, safety, and fire protection, has underscored the burgeoning career opportunities in the Middle East\u2019s security sector, as industry experts underscored the industry\u2019 diverse nature and opportunities for growth, innovation, and leadership.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Speaking during the opening day of Intersect Saudi Arabia as part of the Future Security and Safety Summit, Meshal Al Johani, an industry expert with more than 16 years of experience across the security spectrum, predominantly at Aramco, outlined the opportunities for the next generation of security experts and the required skillset, during his session, \u2018Roadmap to a successful security career\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Middle East\u2019s dynamic and rapidly evolving security sector is on an upward trajectory, and demand for industry professionals able to adapt to emerging technologies, tackle new threats, and ensure the protection of assets, individuals, and organisations is creating a wealth of opportunities for those interested in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor young professionals, this sector offers numerous opportunities for career advancement. Entry-level roles in corporate security, consulting, and other specialised areas quickly lead to managerial or executive positions with the correct training, certification, and continuous development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saudi Arabia is rapidly modernising and diversifying its economy under Vision 2030, aiming to reduce oil dependency and develop key public sectors. A critical element of this transformation is the growth of the security services sector, driven by expanding urban centres, the need to protect critical infrastructure, and a diversifying economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Astute Analytica, the Saudi security services market is projected to reach $14.59 billion (\u00a310.98bn) by 2032, growing at a compound annual rate of 8.1% from 2024 to 2032.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As outlined by Meshal, a commitment to learning ensures that security professionals remain equipped to tackle new challenges and seize emerging opportunities in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOngoing education is key to staying competitive in the constantly evolving security landscape. As new technologies, risks, and practices emerge, professionals must stay informed through certifications, conferences, formal education, self-study and joining professional security associations such as ASIS International.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The packed Future Security and Safety Summit agenda on the opening day addressed a range of topics, including the integrated security strategies for mega events in Saudi Arabia, which included insights from Helmut Spahn, Director Safety, Security & Access, FIFA, and Ammar Almubayedh, NEOM Security.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riham Sedik, Show Manager \u2013 Intersec Saudi Arabia, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \u201cThe security industry in the Middle East is evolving rapidly, presenting tremendous career progression opportunities for professionals at all levels. With major infrastructure, technology, and cybersecurity investments, particularly in regions like Saudi Arabia, there is an increasing demand for skilled individuals across various security sectors. Whether in digital security, fire protection, or perimeter defence, professionals can leverage these growth areas to advance their careers and significantly impact the region\u2019s security landscape.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running concurrently with the Future Security and Safety Summit is the Fire Protection and Technology Summit. It was opened by a keynote address from Major General Dr. Hamoud bin Suleiman Al-Faraj, General Directorate of Saudi Civil Defense, in which he highlighted the latest strategies and technologies employed for the nation's safety through preventive awareness measures to create a safe society free of risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow will see presentations from various experts, with topics focused on \u2018Promoting a diverse and inclusive culture for the security workforce\u2019, \u2018AI on security and safety industry: impact and concerns\u2019, \u2018Physical Security Vs Cybersecurity\u2019, and \u2018Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)\u2019, amongst others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Fire Protection & Technology Summit, the agenda will be led by discussions on \u2018Effectiveness of deployed technologies in fire detection\u2019, \u2018Harnessing the potential of IoT in early fire detection\u2019 and \u2018Fire safety of health facilities\u2019, taking centre stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bilal Al Barmawi, CEO and Founder of 1st<\/sup> Arabia Trade Shows & Conferences, said: \u201cWith the 2024 edition of Intersec Saudi Arabia expected to be the largest to date by welcoming 17,000 visitors, the next two days promise to be a game-changer for the industry in Saudi Arabia.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the session at Intersec Saudi Arabia<\/a>, insights were also outlined as the potential concerns around using AI relating to privacy, decisions, ethics, AI security, jobs, and reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPrivacy issues from using AI in surveillance and data analysis raise significant privacy concerns. Bias, discrimination, and fairness are where AI systems can inherit biases from their training data, leading to unfair decision-making by targeting or profiling certain individuals or groups,\u201d said Al Utaibi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, job displacement is a concern as automation of security and safety monitoring and management tasks could lead to job losses. Ethical and legal concerns are always there when engaging with AI in decision-making processes, such as predictive policing, which raises ethical questions about accountability and transparency, as well as long-term cultural perception,\u201d he added.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUltimately, AI has the potential to have a big, positive impact; however, there are many concerns,\u201d concluded Al Utaibi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elsewhere, on the final day, the Future Readiness Programme, a key platform for government officials and security leaders, will focus on navigating today\u2019s security landscape and developing future-ready solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the programme, sessions address the evolution of security threats, offering insights into trends, challenges, and emerging risks. Highlighting national transformation efforts to modernise security entities, the sessions will focus on talent development, innovation, mission readiness, and future capabilities. Additionally, it explores advanced technologies, such as AI and machine learning, equipping leaders with critical strategies to tackle evolving challenges and ensure resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riham Sedik, Show Manager\u2014Intersec Saudi Arabia, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said, \u201cIntersec Saudi Arabia 2024 plays a pivotal role in spotlighting the groundbreaking advancements and contributions of GCC nations in reshaping the fire, safety and security industry. The event is a testament to Saudi Arabia\u2019s commitment to showcasing pioneering technology integration, particularly in AI, redefining the future of safety and crisis management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bilal Al Barmawi, CEO and Founder of 1st<\/sup> Arabia Trade Shows & Conferences, said: \u201cThis event serves as a knowledge-sharing platform, uniting global security professionals and exhibitors, fostering innovation, and underlining how cutting-edge technologies showcased here pave the way for safer societies globally.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec Saudi Arabia<\/a>, the country\u2019s leading trade fair for security, safety, and fire protection, has underscored the burgeoning career opportunities in the Middle East\u2019s security sector, as industry experts underscored the industry\u2019 diverse nature and opportunities for growth, innovation, and leadership.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Speaking during the opening day of Intersect Saudi Arabia as part of the Future Security and Safety Summit, Meshal Al Johani, an industry expert with more than 16 years of experience across the security spectrum, predominantly at Aramco, outlined the opportunities for the next generation of security experts and the required skillset, during his session, \u2018Roadmap to a successful security career\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Middle East\u2019s dynamic and rapidly evolving security sector is on an upward trajectory, and demand for industry professionals able to adapt to emerging technologies, tackle new threats, and ensure the protection of assets, individuals, and organisations is creating a wealth of opportunities for those interested in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor young professionals, this sector offers numerous opportunities for career advancement. Entry-level roles in corporate security, consulting, and other specialised areas quickly lead to managerial or executive positions with the correct training, certification, and continuous development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saudi Arabia is rapidly modernising and diversifying its economy under Vision 2030, aiming to reduce oil dependency and develop key public sectors. A critical element of this transformation is the growth of the security services sector, driven by expanding urban centres, the need to protect critical infrastructure, and a diversifying economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Astute Analytica, the Saudi security services market is projected to reach $14.59 billion (\u00a310.98bn) by 2032, growing at a compound annual rate of 8.1% from 2024 to 2032.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As outlined by Meshal, a commitment to learning ensures that security professionals remain equipped to tackle new challenges and seize emerging opportunities in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOngoing education is key to staying competitive in the constantly evolving security landscape. As new technologies, risks, and practices emerge, professionals must stay informed through certifications, conferences, formal education, self-study and joining professional security associations such as ASIS International.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The packed Future Security and Safety Summit agenda on the opening day addressed a range of topics, including the integrated security strategies for mega events in Saudi Arabia, which included insights from Helmut Spahn, Director Safety, Security & Access, FIFA, and Ammar Almubayedh, NEOM Security.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riham Sedik, Show Manager \u2013 Intersec Saudi Arabia, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \u201cThe security industry in the Middle East is evolving rapidly, presenting tremendous career progression opportunities for professionals at all levels. With major infrastructure, technology, and cybersecurity investments, particularly in regions like Saudi Arabia, there is an increasing demand for skilled individuals across various security sectors. Whether in digital security, fire protection, or perimeter defence, professionals can leverage these growth areas to advance their careers and significantly impact the region\u2019s security landscape.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running concurrently with the Future Security and Safety Summit is the Fire Protection and Technology Summit. It was opened by a keynote address from Major General Dr. Hamoud bin Suleiman Al-Faraj, General Directorate of Saudi Civil Defense, in which he highlighted the latest strategies and technologies employed for the nation's safety through preventive awareness measures to create a safe society free of risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow will see presentations from various experts, with topics focused on \u2018Promoting a diverse and inclusive culture for the security workforce\u2019, \u2018AI on security and safety industry: impact and concerns\u2019, \u2018Physical Security Vs Cybersecurity\u2019, and \u2018Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)\u2019, amongst others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Fire Protection & Technology Summit, the agenda will be led by discussions on \u2018Effectiveness of deployed technologies in fire detection\u2019, \u2018Harnessing the potential of IoT in early fire detection\u2019 and \u2018Fire safety of health facilities\u2019, taking centre stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bilal Al Barmawi, CEO and Founder of 1st<\/sup> Arabia Trade Shows & Conferences, said: \u201cWith the 2024 edition of Intersec Saudi Arabia expected to be the largest to date by welcoming 17,000 visitors, the next two days promise to be a game-changer for the industry in Saudi Arabia.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec Saudi Arabia, the country\u2019s leading trade fair for security, safety, and fire protection, will highlight the importance of fire safety strategies in the built environment in a panel discussion with Neil Odin, Chief Fire Officer from the UK National Fire Chiefs Council, a leading figure in fire safety.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

With more than 30 years of experience in the UK fire service, Odin will bring unique insights into the challenges faced by the Middle East as part of his panel discussion, Crisis to Recovery: Strategies for Effective Fire Post-Incident Management, which takes place on the opening day of the exhibition as part of the Fire Protection & Technology Summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to research from Mordor Intelligence, Saudi Arabia currently has over 5,200 ongoing construction projects, with an estimated total value exceeding $819 billion (US). These projects encompass a wide range of sectors, including residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure construction, underscoring the need for an effective Fire Safe Design strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A response strategy cannot stand alone; it must be intricately linked with fire-safe building designs and comprehensive prevention strategies. Understanding the root causes of fire disasters and sharing this knowledge is key to innovating effective solutions,\" said Odin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the presentation, Al Utaibi highlighted AI's many positive impacts on the security sector, relating to surveillance and situational awareness, optimal resource allocation, predictive analytics, and improved communication, among others. He also reiterated how AI has positively impacted safety, referencing the workplace, emergency response, decision-making processes and traffic safety measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the session at Intersec Saudi Arabia<\/a>, insights were also outlined as the potential concerns around using AI relating to privacy, decisions, ethics, AI security, jobs, and reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPrivacy issues from using AI in surveillance and data analysis raise significant privacy concerns. Bias, discrimination, and fairness are where AI systems can inherit biases from their training data, leading to unfair decision-making by targeting or profiling certain individuals or groups,\u201d said Al Utaibi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, job displacement is a concern as automation of security and safety monitoring and management tasks could lead to job losses. Ethical and legal concerns are always there when engaging with AI in decision-making processes, such as predictive policing, which raises ethical questions about accountability and transparency, as well as long-term cultural perception,\u201d he added.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUltimately, AI has the potential to have a big, positive impact; however, there are many concerns,\u201d concluded Al Utaibi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elsewhere, on the final day, the Future Readiness Programme, a key platform for government officials and security leaders, will focus on navigating today\u2019s security landscape and developing future-ready solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the programme, sessions address the evolution of security threats, offering insights into trends, challenges, and emerging risks. Highlighting national transformation efforts to modernise security entities, the sessions will focus on talent development, innovation, mission readiness, and future capabilities. Additionally, it explores advanced technologies, such as AI and machine learning, equipping leaders with critical strategies to tackle evolving challenges and ensure resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riham Sedik, Show Manager\u2014Intersec Saudi Arabia, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said, \u201cIntersec Saudi Arabia 2024 plays a pivotal role in spotlighting the groundbreaking advancements and contributions of GCC nations in reshaping the fire, safety and security industry. The event is a testament to Saudi Arabia\u2019s commitment to showcasing pioneering technology integration, particularly in AI, redefining the future of safety and crisis management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec Saudi Arabia<\/a>, the country\u2019s leading trade fair for security, safety, and fire protection, has underscored the burgeoning career opportunities in the Middle East\u2019s security sector, as industry experts underscored the industry\u2019 diverse nature and opportunities for growth, innovation, and leadership.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Speaking during the opening day of Intersect Saudi Arabia as part of the Future Security and Safety Summit, Meshal Al Johani, an industry expert with more than 16 years of experience across the security spectrum, predominantly at Aramco, outlined the opportunities for the next generation of security experts and the required skillset, during his session, \u2018Roadmap to a successful security career\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Middle East\u2019s dynamic and rapidly evolving security sector is on an upward trajectory, and demand for industry professionals able to adapt to emerging technologies, tackle new threats, and ensure the protection of assets, individuals, and organisations is creating a wealth of opportunities for those interested in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor young professionals, this sector offers numerous opportunities for career advancement. Entry-level roles in corporate security, consulting, and other specialised areas quickly lead to managerial or executive positions with the correct training, certification, and continuous development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saudi Arabia is rapidly modernising and diversifying its economy under Vision 2030, aiming to reduce oil dependency and develop key public sectors. A critical element of this transformation is the growth of the security services sector, driven by expanding urban centres, the need to protect critical infrastructure, and a diversifying economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Astute Analytica, the Saudi security services market is projected to reach $14.59 billion (\u00a310.98bn) by 2032, growing at a compound annual rate of 8.1% from 2024 to 2032.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As outlined by Meshal, a commitment to learning ensures that security professionals remain equipped to tackle new challenges and seize emerging opportunities in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOngoing education is key to staying competitive in the constantly evolving security landscape. As new technologies, risks, and practices emerge, professionals must stay informed through certifications, conferences, formal education, self-study and joining professional security associations such as ASIS International.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The packed Future Security and Safety Summit agenda on the opening day addressed a range of topics, including the integrated security strategies for mega events in Saudi Arabia, which included insights from Helmut Spahn, Director Safety, Security & Access, FIFA, and Ammar Almubayedh, NEOM Security.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riham Sedik, Show Manager \u2013 Intersec Saudi Arabia, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \u201cThe security industry in the Middle East is evolving rapidly, presenting tremendous career progression opportunities for professionals at all levels. With major infrastructure, technology, and cybersecurity investments, particularly in regions like Saudi Arabia, there is an increasing demand for skilled individuals across various security sectors. Whether in digital security, fire protection, or perimeter defence, professionals can leverage these growth areas to advance their careers and significantly impact the region\u2019s security landscape.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The importance of the country\u2019s commitment to AI was underscored at the Future Security and Safety Summit by Mazyad Al Utaibi, Partner Consultant, Security Technologies, Rawand Security Surveillance, during the AI on Security & Safety Industry: Impact and Concerns session.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the presentation, Al Utaibi highlighted AI's many positive impacts on the security sector, relating to surveillance and situational awareness, optimal resource allocation, predictive analytics, and improved communication, among others. He also reiterated how AI has positively impacted safety, referencing the workplace, emergency response, decision-making processes and traffic safety measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the session at Intersec Saudi Arabia<\/a>, insights were also outlined as the potential concerns around using AI relating to privacy, decisions, ethics, AI security, jobs, and reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPrivacy issues from using AI in surveillance and data analysis raise significant privacy concerns. Bias, discrimination, and fairness are where AI systems can inherit biases from their training data, leading to unfair decision-making by targeting or profiling certain individuals or groups,\u201d said Al Utaibi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, job displacement is a concern as automation of security and safety monitoring and management tasks could lead to job losses. Ethical and legal concerns are always there when engaging with AI in decision-making processes, such as predictive policing, which raises ethical questions about accountability and transparency, as well as long-term cultural perception,\u201d he added.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUltimately, AI has the potential to have a big, positive impact; however, there are many concerns,\u201d concluded Al Utaibi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elsewhere, on the final day, the Future Readiness Programme, a key platform for government officials and security leaders, will focus on navigating today\u2019s security landscape and developing future-ready solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the programme, sessions address the evolution of security threats, offering insights into trends, challenges, and emerging risks. Highlighting national transformation efforts to modernise security entities, the sessions will focus on talent development, innovation, mission readiness, and future capabilities. Additionally, it explores advanced technologies, such as AI and machine learning, equipping leaders with critical strategies to tackle evolving challenges and ensure resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riham Sedik, Show Manager\u2014Intersec Saudi Arabia, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said, \u201cIntersec Saudi Arabia 2024 plays a pivotal role in spotlighting the groundbreaking advancements and contributions of GCC nations in reshaping the fire, safety and security industry. The event is a testament to Saudi Arabia\u2019s commitment to showcasing pioneering technology integration, particularly in AI, redefining the future of safety and crisis management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bilal Al Barmawi, CEO and Founder of 1st<\/sup> Arabia Trade Shows & Conferences, said: \u201cThis event serves as a knowledge-sharing platform, uniting global security professionals and exhibitors, fostering innovation, and underlining how cutting-edge technologies showcased here pave the way for safer societies globally.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec Saudi Arabia<\/a>, the country\u2019s leading trade fair for security, safety, and fire protection, has underscored the burgeoning career opportunities in the Middle East\u2019s security sector, as industry experts underscored the industry\u2019 diverse nature and opportunities for growth, innovation, and leadership.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Speaking during the opening day of Intersect Saudi Arabia as part of the Future Security and Safety Summit, Meshal Al Johani, an industry expert with more than 16 years of experience across the security spectrum, predominantly at Aramco, outlined the opportunities for the next generation of security experts and the required skillset, during his session, \u2018Roadmap to a successful security career\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Middle East\u2019s dynamic and rapidly evolving security sector is on an upward trajectory, and demand for industry professionals able to adapt to emerging technologies, tackle new threats, and ensure the protection of assets, individuals, and organisations is creating a wealth of opportunities for those interested in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor young professionals, this sector offers numerous opportunities for career advancement. Entry-level roles in corporate security, consulting, and other specialised areas quickly lead to managerial or executive positions with the correct training, certification, and continuous development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saudi Arabia is rapidly modernising and diversifying its economy under Vision 2030, aiming to reduce oil dependency and develop key public sectors. A critical element of this transformation is the growth of the security services sector, driven by expanding urban centres, the need to protect critical infrastructure, and a diversifying economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Astute Analytica, the Saudi security services market is projected to reach $14.59 billion (\u00a310.98bn) by 2032, growing at a compound annual rate of 8.1% from 2024 to 2032.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As outlined by Meshal, a commitment to learning ensures that security professionals remain equipped to tackle new challenges and seize emerging opportunities in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOngoing education is key to staying competitive in the constantly evolving security landscape. As new technologies, risks, and practices emerge, professionals must stay informed through certifications, conferences, formal education, self-study and joining professional security associations such as ASIS International.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The packed Future Security and Safety Summit agenda on the opening day addressed a range of topics, including the integrated security strategies for mega events in Saudi Arabia, which included insights from Helmut Spahn, Director Safety, Security & Access, FIFA, and Ammar Almubayedh, NEOM Security.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riham Sedik, Show Manager \u2013 Intersec Saudi Arabia, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \u201cThe security industry in the Middle East is evolving rapidly, presenting tremendous career progression opportunities for professionals at all levels. With major infrastructure, technology, and cybersecurity investments, particularly in regions like Saudi Arabia, there is an increasing demand for skilled individuals across various security sectors. Whether in digital security, fire protection, or perimeter defence, professionals can leverage these growth areas to advance their careers and significantly impact the region\u2019s security landscape.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running concurrently with the Future Security and Safety Summit is the Fire Protection and Technology Summit. It was opened by a keynote address from Major General Dr. Hamoud bin Suleiman Al-Faraj, General Directorate of Saudi Civil Defense, in which he highlighted the latest strategies and technologies employed for the nation's safety through preventive awareness measures to create a safe society free of risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow will see presentations from various experts, with topics focused on \u2018Promoting a diverse and inclusive culture for the security workforce\u2019, \u2018AI on security and safety industry: impact and concerns\u2019, \u2018Physical Security Vs Cybersecurity\u2019, and \u2018Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)\u2019, amongst others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Fire Protection & Technology Summit, the agenda will be led by discussions on \u2018Effectiveness of deployed technologies in fire detection\u2019, \u2018Harnessing the potential of IoT in early fire detection\u2019 and \u2018Fire safety of health facilities\u2019, taking centre stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The importance of the country\u2019s commitment to AI was underscored at the Future Security and Safety Summit by Mazyad Al Utaibi, Partner Consultant, Security Technologies, Rawand Security Surveillance, during the AI on Security & Safety Industry: Impact and Concerns session.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the presentation, Al Utaibi highlighted AI's many positive impacts on the security sector, relating to surveillance and situational awareness, optimal resource allocation, predictive analytics, and improved communication, among others. He also reiterated how AI has positively impacted safety, referencing the workplace, emergency response, decision-making processes and traffic safety measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the session at Intersec Saudi Arabia<\/a>, insights were also outlined as the potential concerns around using AI relating to privacy, decisions, ethics, AI security, jobs, and reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPrivacy issues from using AI in surveillance and data analysis raise significant privacy concerns. Bias, discrimination, and fairness are where AI systems can inherit biases from their training data, leading to unfair decision-making by targeting or profiling certain individuals or groups,\u201d said Al Utaibi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, job displacement is a concern as automation of security and safety monitoring and management tasks could lead to job losses. Ethical and legal concerns are always there when engaging with AI in decision-making processes, such as predictive policing, which raises ethical questions about accountability and transparency, as well as long-term cultural perception,\u201d he added.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUltimately, AI has the potential to have a big, positive impact; however, there are many concerns,\u201d concluded Al Utaibi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elsewhere, on the final day, the Future Readiness Programme, a key platform for government officials and security leaders, will focus on navigating today\u2019s security landscape and developing future-ready solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the programme, sessions address the evolution of security threats, offering insights into trends, challenges, and emerging risks. Highlighting national transformation efforts to modernise security entities, the sessions will focus on talent development, innovation, mission readiness, and future capabilities. Additionally, it explores advanced technologies, such as AI and machine learning, equipping leaders with critical strategies to tackle evolving challenges and ensure resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riham Sedik, Show Manager\u2014Intersec Saudi Arabia, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said, \u201cIntersec Saudi Arabia 2024 plays a pivotal role in spotlighting the groundbreaking advancements and contributions of GCC nations in reshaping the fire, safety and security industry. The event is a testament to Saudi Arabia\u2019s commitment to showcasing pioneering technology integration, particularly in AI, redefining the future of safety and crisis management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bilal Al Barmawi, CEO and Founder of 1st<\/sup> Arabia Trade Shows & Conferences, said: \u201cThis event serves as a knowledge-sharing platform, uniting global security professionals and exhibitors, fostering innovation, and underlining how cutting-edge technologies showcased here pave the way for safer societies globally.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec Saudi Arabia<\/a>, the country\u2019s leading trade fair for security, safety, and fire protection, has underscored the burgeoning career opportunities in the Middle East\u2019s security sector, as industry experts underscored the industry\u2019 diverse nature and opportunities for growth, innovation, and leadership.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Speaking during the opening day of Intersect Saudi Arabia as part of the Future Security and Safety Summit, Meshal Al Johani, an industry expert with more than 16 years of experience across the security spectrum, predominantly at Aramco, outlined the opportunities for the next generation of security experts and the required skillset, during his session, \u2018Roadmap to a successful security career\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Middle East\u2019s dynamic and rapidly evolving security sector is on an upward trajectory, and demand for industry professionals able to adapt to emerging technologies, tackle new threats, and ensure the protection of assets, individuals, and organisations is creating a wealth of opportunities for those interested in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor young professionals, this sector offers numerous opportunities for career advancement. Entry-level roles in corporate security, consulting, and other specialised areas quickly lead to managerial or executive positions with the correct training, certification, and continuous development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saudi Arabia is rapidly modernising and diversifying its economy under Vision 2030, aiming to reduce oil dependency and develop key public sectors. A critical element of this transformation is the growth of the security services sector, driven by expanding urban centres, the need to protect critical infrastructure, and a diversifying economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Astute Analytica, the Saudi security services market is projected to reach $14.59 billion (\u00a310.98bn) by 2032, growing at a compound annual rate of 8.1% from 2024 to 2032.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As outlined by Meshal, a commitment to learning ensures that security professionals remain equipped to tackle new challenges and seize emerging opportunities in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOngoing education is key to staying competitive in the constantly evolving security landscape. As new technologies, risks, and practices emerge, professionals must stay informed through certifications, conferences, formal education, self-study and joining professional security associations such as ASIS International.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The packed Future Security and Safety Summit agenda on the opening day addressed a range of topics, including the integrated security strategies for mega events in Saudi Arabia, which included insights from Helmut Spahn, Director Safety, Security & Access, FIFA, and Ammar Almubayedh, NEOM Security.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riham Sedik, Show Manager \u2013 Intersec Saudi Arabia, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \u201cThe security industry in the Middle East is evolving rapidly, presenting tremendous career progression opportunities for professionals at all levels. With major infrastructure, technology, and cybersecurity investments, particularly in regions like Saudi Arabia, there is an increasing demand for skilled individuals across various security sectors. Whether in digital security, fire protection, or perimeter defence, professionals can leverage these growth areas to advance their careers and significantly impact the region\u2019s security landscape.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running concurrently with the Future Security and Safety Summit is the Fire Protection and Technology Summit. It was opened by a keynote address from Major General Dr. Hamoud bin Suleiman Al-Faraj, General Directorate of Saudi Civil Defense, in which he highlighted the latest strategies and technologies employed for the nation's safety through preventive awareness measures to create a safe society free of risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Fire Protection & Technology Summit, the agenda will be led by discussions on \u2018Effectiveness of deployed technologies in fire detection\u2019, \u2018Harnessing the potential of IoT in early fire detection\u2019 and \u2018Fire safety of health facilities\u2019, taking centre stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bilal Al Barmawi, CEO and Founder of 1st<\/sup> Arabia Trade Shows & Conferences, said: \u201cWith the 2024 edition of Intersec Saudi Arabia expected to be the largest to date by welcoming 17,000 visitors, the next two days promise to be a game-changer for the industry in Saudi Arabia.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec Saudi Arabia, the country\u2019s leading trade fair for security, safety, and fire protection, will highlight the importance of fire safety strategies in the built environment in a panel discussion with Neil Odin, Chief Fire Officer from the UK National Fire Chiefs Council, a leading figure in fire safety.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

With more than 30 years of experience in the UK fire service, Odin will bring unique insights into the challenges faced by the Middle East as part of his panel discussion, Crisis to Recovery: Strategies for Effective Fire Post-Incident Management, which takes place on the opening day of the exhibition as part of the Fire Protection & Technology Summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to experts at Intersec Saudi Arabia, the region is making significant strides in positioning the Kingdom as a global leader in AI as part of Vision 2030, with the government and private sector\u2019s efforts in utilising AI for innovation and economic progress receiving international praise \u2013 Tortoise Intelligence ranked Saudi Arabia first in its Government Strategy Index for Artificial Intelligence last year.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

The importance of the country\u2019s commitment to AI was underscored at the Future Security and Safety Summit by Mazyad Al Utaibi, Partner Consultant, Security Technologies, Rawand Security Surveillance, during the AI on Security & Safety Industry: Impact and Concerns session.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the presentation, Al Utaibi highlighted AI's many positive impacts on the security sector, relating to surveillance and situational awareness, optimal resource allocation, predictive analytics, and improved communication, among others. He also reiterated how AI has positively impacted safety, referencing the workplace, emergency response, decision-making processes and traffic safety measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the session at Intersec Saudi Arabia<\/a>, insights were also outlined as the potential concerns around using AI relating to privacy, decisions, ethics, AI security, jobs, and reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPrivacy issues from using AI in surveillance and data analysis raise significant privacy concerns. Bias, discrimination, and fairness are where AI systems can inherit biases from their training data, leading to unfair decision-making by targeting or profiling certain individuals or groups,\u201d said Al Utaibi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, job displacement is a concern as automation of security and safety monitoring and management tasks could lead to job losses. Ethical and legal concerns are always there when engaging with AI in decision-making processes, such as predictive policing, which raises ethical questions about accountability and transparency, as well as long-term cultural perception,\u201d he added.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUltimately, AI has the potential to have a big, positive impact; however, there are many concerns,\u201d concluded Al Utaibi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elsewhere, on the final day, the Future Readiness Programme, a key platform for government officials and security leaders, will focus on navigating today\u2019s security landscape and developing future-ready solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the programme, sessions address the evolution of security threats, offering insights into trends, challenges, and emerging risks. Highlighting national transformation efforts to modernise security entities, the sessions will focus on talent development, innovation, mission readiness, and future capabilities. Additionally, it explores advanced technologies, such as AI and machine learning, equipping leaders with critical strategies to tackle evolving challenges and ensure resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riham Sedik, Show Manager\u2014Intersec Saudi Arabia, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said, \u201cIntersec Saudi Arabia 2024 plays a pivotal role in spotlighting the groundbreaking advancements and contributions of GCC nations in reshaping the fire, safety and security industry. The event is a testament to Saudi Arabia\u2019s commitment to showcasing pioneering technology integration, particularly in AI, redefining the future of safety and crisis management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bilal Al Barmawi, CEO and Founder of 1st<\/sup> Arabia Trade Shows & Conferences, said: \u201cThis event serves as a knowledge-sharing platform, uniting global security professionals and exhibitors, fostering innovation, and underlining how cutting-edge technologies showcased here pave the way for safer societies globally.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec Saudi Arabia<\/a>, the country\u2019s leading trade fair for security, safety, and fire protection, has underscored the burgeoning career opportunities in the Middle East\u2019s security sector, as industry experts underscored the industry\u2019 diverse nature and opportunities for growth, innovation, and leadership.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Speaking during the opening day of Intersect Saudi Arabia as part of the Future Security and Safety Summit, Meshal Al Johani, an industry expert with more than 16 years of experience across the security spectrum, predominantly at Aramco, outlined the opportunities for the next generation of security experts and the required skillset, during his session, \u2018Roadmap to a successful security career\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Middle East\u2019s dynamic and rapidly evolving security sector is on an upward trajectory, and demand for industry professionals able to adapt to emerging technologies, tackle new threats, and ensure the protection of assets, individuals, and organisations is creating a wealth of opportunities for those interested in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor young professionals, this sector offers numerous opportunities for career advancement. Entry-level roles in corporate security, consulting, and other specialised areas quickly lead to managerial or executive positions with the correct training, certification, and continuous development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saudi Arabia is rapidly modernising and diversifying its economy under Vision 2030, aiming to reduce oil dependency and develop key public sectors. A critical element of this transformation is the growth of the security services sector, driven by expanding urban centres, the need to protect critical infrastructure, and a diversifying economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Astute Analytica, the Saudi security services market is projected to reach $14.59 billion (\u00a310.98bn) by 2032, growing at a compound annual rate of 8.1% from 2024 to 2032.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As outlined by Meshal, a commitment to learning ensures that security professionals remain equipped to tackle new challenges and seize emerging opportunities in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOngoing education is key to staying competitive in the constantly evolving security landscape. As new technologies, risks, and practices emerge, professionals must stay informed through certifications, conferences, formal education, self-study and joining professional security associations such as ASIS International.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The packed Future Security and Safety Summit agenda on the opening day addressed a range of topics, including the integrated security strategies for mega events in Saudi Arabia, which included insights from Helmut Spahn, Director Safety, Security & Access, FIFA, and Ammar Almubayedh, NEOM Security.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riham Sedik, Show Manager \u2013 Intersec Saudi Arabia, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \u201cThe security industry in the Middle East is evolving rapidly, presenting tremendous career progression opportunities for professionals at all levels. With major infrastructure, technology, and cybersecurity investments, particularly in regions like Saudi Arabia, there is an increasing demand for skilled individuals across various security sectors. Whether in digital security, fire protection, or perimeter defence, professionals can leverage these growth areas to advance their careers and significantly impact the region\u2019s security landscape.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running concurrently with the Future Security and Safety Summit is the Fire Protection and Technology Summit. It was opened by a keynote address from Major General Dr. Hamoud bin Suleiman Al-Faraj, General Directorate of Saudi Civil Defense, in which he highlighted the latest strategies and technologies employed for the nation's safety through preventive awareness measures to create a safe society free of risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to experts at Intersec Saudi Arabia, the region is making significant strides in positioning the Kingdom as a global leader in AI as part of Vision 2030, with the government and private sector\u2019s efforts in utilising AI for innovation and economic progress receiving international praise \u2013 Tortoise Intelligence ranked Saudi Arabia first in its Government Strategy Index for Artificial Intelligence last year.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

The importance of the country\u2019s commitment to AI was underscored at the Future Security and Safety Summit by Mazyad Al Utaibi, Partner Consultant, Security Technologies, Rawand Security Surveillance, during the AI on Security & Safety Industry: Impact and Concerns session.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the presentation, Al Utaibi highlighted AI's many positive impacts on the security sector, relating to surveillance and situational awareness, optimal resource allocation, predictive analytics, and improved communication, among others. He also reiterated how AI has positively impacted safety, referencing the workplace, emergency response, decision-making processes and traffic safety measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the session at Intersec Saudi Arabia<\/a>, insights were also outlined as the potential concerns around using AI relating to privacy, decisions, ethics, AI security, jobs, and reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPrivacy issues from using AI in surveillance and data analysis raise significant privacy concerns. Bias, discrimination, and fairness are where AI systems can inherit biases from their training data, leading to unfair decision-making by targeting or profiling certain individuals or groups,\u201d said Al Utaibi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, job displacement is a concern as automation of security and safety monitoring and management tasks could lead to job losses. Ethical and legal concerns are always there when engaging with AI in decision-making processes, such as predictive policing, which raises ethical questions about accountability and transparency, as well as long-term cultural perception,\u201d he added.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUltimately, AI has the potential to have a big, positive impact; however, there are many concerns,\u201d concluded Al Utaibi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elsewhere, on the final day, the Future Readiness Programme, a key platform for government officials and security leaders, will focus on navigating today\u2019s security landscape and developing future-ready solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the programme, sessions address the evolution of security threats, offering insights into trends, challenges, and emerging risks. Highlighting national transformation efforts to modernise security entities, the sessions will focus on talent development, innovation, mission readiness, and future capabilities. Additionally, it explores advanced technologies, such as AI and machine learning, equipping leaders with critical strategies to tackle evolving challenges and ensure resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riham Sedik, Show Manager\u2014Intersec Saudi Arabia, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said, \u201cIntersec Saudi Arabia 2024 plays a pivotal role in spotlighting the groundbreaking advancements and contributions of GCC nations in reshaping the fire, safety and security industry. The event is a testament to Saudi Arabia\u2019s commitment to showcasing pioneering technology integration, particularly in AI, redefining the future of safety and crisis management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bilal Al Barmawi, CEO and Founder of 1st<\/sup> Arabia Trade Shows & Conferences, said: \u201cThis event serves as a knowledge-sharing platform, uniting global security professionals and exhibitors, fostering innovation, and underlining how cutting-edge technologies showcased here pave the way for safer societies globally.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec Saudi Arabia<\/a>, the country\u2019s leading trade fair for security, safety, and fire protection, has underscored the burgeoning career opportunities in the Middle East\u2019s security sector, as industry experts underscored the industry\u2019 diverse nature and opportunities for growth, innovation, and leadership.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Speaking during the opening day of Intersect Saudi Arabia as part of the Future Security and Safety Summit, Meshal Al Johani, an industry expert with more than 16 years of experience across the security spectrum, predominantly at Aramco, outlined the opportunities for the next generation of security experts and the required skillset, during his session, \u2018Roadmap to a successful security career\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Middle East\u2019s dynamic and rapidly evolving security sector is on an upward trajectory, and demand for industry professionals able to adapt to emerging technologies, tackle new threats, and ensure the protection of assets, individuals, and organisations is creating a wealth of opportunities for those interested in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor young professionals, this sector offers numerous opportunities for career advancement. Entry-level roles in corporate security, consulting, and other specialised areas quickly lead to managerial or executive positions with the correct training, certification, and continuous development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saudi Arabia is rapidly modernising and diversifying its economy under Vision 2030, aiming to reduce oil dependency and develop key public sectors. A critical element of this transformation is the growth of the security services sector, driven by expanding urban centres, the need to protect critical infrastructure, and a diversifying economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Astute Analytica, the Saudi security services market is projected to reach $14.59 billion (\u00a310.98bn) by 2032, growing at a compound annual rate of 8.1% from 2024 to 2032.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As outlined by Meshal, a commitment to learning ensures that security professionals remain equipped to tackle new challenges and seize emerging opportunities in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOngoing education is key to staying competitive in the constantly evolving security landscape. As new technologies, risks, and practices emerge, professionals must stay informed through certifications, conferences, formal education, self-study and joining professional security associations such as ASIS International.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The packed Future Security and Safety Summit agenda on the opening day addressed a range of topics, including the integrated security strategies for mega events in Saudi Arabia, which included insights from Helmut Spahn, Director Safety, Security & Access, FIFA, and Ammar Almubayedh, NEOM Security.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riham Sedik, Show Manager \u2013 Intersec Saudi Arabia, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \u201cThe security industry in the Middle East is evolving rapidly, presenting tremendous career progression opportunities for professionals at all levels. With major infrastructure, technology, and cybersecurity investments, particularly in regions like Saudi Arabia, there is an increasing demand for skilled individuals across various security sectors. Whether in digital security, fire protection, or perimeter defence, professionals can leverage these growth areas to advance their careers and significantly impact the region\u2019s security landscape.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running concurrently with the Future Security and Safety Summit is the Fire Protection and Technology Summit. It was opened by a keynote address from Major General Dr. Hamoud bin Suleiman Al-Faraj, General Directorate of Saudi Civil Defense, in which he highlighted the latest strategies and technologies employed for the nation's safety through preventive awareness measures to create a safe society free of risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow will see presentations from various experts, with topics focused on \u2018Promoting a diverse and inclusive culture for the security workforce\u2019, \u2018AI on security and safety industry: impact and concerns\u2019, \u2018Physical Security Vs Cybersecurity\u2019, and \u2018Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)\u2019, amongst others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Fire Protection & Technology Summit, the agenda will be led by discussions on \u2018Effectiveness of deployed technologies in fire detection\u2019, \u2018Harnessing the potential of IoT in early fire detection\u2019 and \u2018Fire safety of health facilities\u2019, taking centre stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bilal Al Barmawi, CEO and Founder of 1st<\/sup> Arabia Trade Shows & Conferences, said: \u201cWith the 2024 edition of Intersec Saudi Arabia expected to be the largest to date by welcoming 17,000 visitors, the next two days promise to be a game-changer for the industry in Saudi Arabia.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to experts at Intersec Saudi Arabia, the region is making significant strides in positioning the Kingdom as a global leader in AI as part of Vision 2030, with the government and private sector\u2019s efforts in utilising AI for innovation and economic progress receiving international praise \u2013 Tortoise Intelligence ranked Saudi Arabia first in its Government Strategy Index for Artificial Intelligence last year.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

The importance of the country\u2019s commitment to AI was underscored at the Future Security and Safety Summit by Mazyad Al Utaibi, Partner Consultant, Security Technologies, Rawand Security Surveillance, during the AI on Security & Safety Industry: Impact and Concerns session.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the presentation, Al Utaibi highlighted AI's many positive impacts on the security sector, relating to surveillance and situational awareness, optimal resource allocation, predictive analytics, and improved communication, among others. He also reiterated how AI has positively impacted safety, referencing the workplace, emergency response, decision-making processes and traffic safety measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the session at Intersec Saudi Arabia<\/a>, insights were also outlined as the potential concerns around using AI relating to privacy, decisions, ethics, AI security, jobs, and reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPrivacy issues from using AI in surveillance and data analysis raise significant privacy concerns. Bias, discrimination, and fairness are where AI systems can inherit biases from their training data, leading to unfair decision-making by targeting or profiling certain individuals or groups,\u201d said Al Utaibi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, job displacement is a concern as automation of security and safety monitoring and management tasks could lead to job losses. Ethical and legal concerns are always there when engaging with AI in decision-making processes, such as predictive policing, which raises ethical questions about accountability and transparency, as well as long-term cultural perception,\u201d he added.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUltimately, AI has the potential to have a big, positive impact; however, there are many concerns,\u201d concluded Al Utaibi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elsewhere, on the final day, the Future Readiness Programme, a key platform for government officials and security leaders, will focus on navigating today\u2019s security landscape and developing future-ready solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the programme, sessions address the evolution of security threats, offering insights into trends, challenges, and emerging risks. Highlighting national transformation efforts to modernise security entities, the sessions will focus on talent development, innovation, mission readiness, and future capabilities. Additionally, it explores advanced technologies, such as AI and machine learning, equipping leaders with critical strategies to tackle evolving challenges and ensure resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riham Sedik, Show Manager\u2014Intersec Saudi Arabia, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said, \u201cIntersec Saudi Arabia 2024 plays a pivotal role in spotlighting the groundbreaking advancements and contributions of GCC nations in reshaping the fire, safety and security industry. The event is a testament to Saudi Arabia\u2019s commitment to showcasing pioneering technology integration, particularly in AI, redefining the future of safety and crisis management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bilal Al Barmawi, CEO and Founder of 1st<\/sup> Arabia Trade Shows & Conferences, said: \u201cThis event serves as a knowledge-sharing platform, uniting global security professionals and exhibitors, fostering innovation, and underlining how cutting-edge technologies showcased here pave the way for safer societies globally.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec Saudi Arabia<\/a>, the country\u2019s leading trade fair for security, safety, and fire protection, has underscored the burgeoning career opportunities in the Middle East\u2019s security sector, as industry experts underscored the industry\u2019 diverse nature and opportunities for growth, innovation, and leadership.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Speaking during the opening day of Intersect Saudi Arabia as part of the Future Security and Safety Summit, Meshal Al Johani, an industry expert with more than 16 years of experience across the security spectrum, predominantly at Aramco, outlined the opportunities for the next generation of security experts and the required skillset, during his session, \u2018Roadmap to a successful security career\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Middle East\u2019s dynamic and rapidly evolving security sector is on an upward trajectory, and demand for industry professionals able to adapt to emerging technologies, tackle new threats, and ensure the protection of assets, individuals, and organisations is creating a wealth of opportunities for those interested in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor young professionals, this sector offers numerous opportunities for career advancement. Entry-level roles in corporate security, consulting, and other specialised areas quickly lead to managerial or executive positions with the correct training, certification, and continuous development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saudi Arabia is rapidly modernising and diversifying its economy under Vision 2030, aiming to reduce oil dependency and develop key public sectors. A critical element of this transformation is the growth of the security services sector, driven by expanding urban centres, the need to protect critical infrastructure, and a diversifying economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Astute Analytica, the Saudi security services market is projected to reach $14.59 billion (\u00a310.98bn) by 2032, growing at a compound annual rate of 8.1% from 2024 to 2032.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As outlined by Meshal, a commitment to learning ensures that security professionals remain equipped to tackle new challenges and seize emerging opportunities in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOngoing education is key to staying competitive in the constantly evolving security landscape. As new technologies, risks, and practices emerge, professionals must stay informed through certifications, conferences, formal education, self-study and joining professional security associations such as ASIS International.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The packed Future Security and Safety Summit agenda on the opening day addressed a range of topics, including the integrated security strategies for mega events in Saudi Arabia, which included insights from Helmut Spahn, Director Safety, Security & Access, FIFA, and Ammar Almubayedh, NEOM Security.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riham Sedik, Show Manager \u2013 Intersec Saudi Arabia, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \u201cThe security industry in the Middle East is evolving rapidly, presenting tremendous career progression opportunities for professionals at all levels. With major infrastructure, technology, and cybersecurity investments, particularly in regions like Saudi Arabia, there is an increasing demand for skilled individuals across various security sectors. Whether in digital security, fire protection, or perimeter defence, professionals can leverage these growth areas to advance their careers and significantly impact the region\u2019s security landscape.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running concurrently with the Future Security and Safety Summit is the Fire Protection and Technology Summit. It was opened by a keynote address from Major General Dr. Hamoud bin Suleiman Al-Faraj, General Directorate of Saudi Civil Defense, in which he highlighted the latest strategies and technologies employed for the nation's safety through preventive awareness measures to create a safe society free of risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow will see presentations from various experts, with topics focused on \u2018Promoting a diverse and inclusive culture for the security workforce\u2019, \u2018AI on security and safety industry: impact and concerns\u2019, \u2018Physical Security Vs Cybersecurity\u2019, and \u2018Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)\u2019, amongst others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Fire Protection & Technology Summit, the agenda will be led by discussions on \u2018Effectiveness of deployed technologies in fire detection\u2019, \u2018Harnessing the potential of IoT in early fire detection\u2019 and \u2018Fire safety of health facilities\u2019, taking centre stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bilal Al Barmawi, CEO and Founder of 1st<\/sup> Arabia Trade Shows & Conferences, said: \u201cWith the 2024 edition of Intersec Saudi Arabia expected to be the largest to date by welcoming 17,000 visitors, the next two days promise to be a game-changer for the industry in Saudi Arabia.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec Saudi Arabia, the country\u2019s leading trade fair for security, safety, and fire protection, will highlight the importance of fire safety strategies in the built environment in a panel discussion with Neil Odin, Chief Fire Officer from the UK National Fire Chiefs Council, a leading figure in fire safety.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

With more than 30 years of experience in the UK fire service, Odin will bring unique insights into the challenges faced by the Middle East as part of his panel discussion, Crisis to Recovery: Strategies for Effective Fire Post-Incident Management, which takes place on the opening day of the exhibition as part of the Fire Protection & Technology Summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to research from Mordor Intelligence, Saudi Arabia currently has over 5,200 ongoing construction projects, with an estimated total value exceeding $819 billion (US). These projects encompass a wide range of sectors, including residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure construction, underscoring the need for an effective Fire Safe Design strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A response strategy cannot stand alone; it must be intricately linked with fire-safe building designs and comprehensive prevention strategies. Understanding the root causes of fire disasters and sharing this knowledge is key to innovating effective solutions,\" said Odin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Middle East, particularly Saudi Arabia, holds the potential to lead in global fire management through its focus on designing out risks in new developments,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The session at the show<\/a> will discuss the crucial phases following a fire, highlighting best practices and innovative approaches to post-incident recovery, focusing on restoring normality in affected populations, buildings, and responder teams. Jamal Al Ghamdi, Corporate Process Safety Director, Sadara Chemical Company, will join Odin on the panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elsewhere on the opening day of the Summit, sessions to be covered include Educating and Empowering Communities: Promoting Fire Safety Awareness and Preparedness, Fire Safety Hazards for Electric Vehicles and Lessons Learned from Past Disasters: Empowering Emergency Preparedness, amongst others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second day of the Summit will see a full agenda addressing topics such as Integrating IoT and AI in Fire Safety Systems, Maturity of Robotics Deployment in Fire Fighting, Safeguarding Fire Safety Infrastructure Against Threats and Challenges, and Fire Challenges Due to Climate Change with a range of experts from various fields critical to fire safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riham Sedik, Show Manager\u2014Intersec Saudi Arabia, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \u201cIntersec Saudi Arabia has an integral role to play in providing a platform for some of the greatest minds and most experienced individuals to come together from around the world to discuss critical challenges, opportunities, standards & policies, and technology relating to fire safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to experts at Intersec Saudi Arabia, the region is making significant strides in positioning the Kingdom as a global leader in AI as part of Vision 2030, with the government and private sector\u2019s efforts in utilising AI for innovation and economic progress receiving international praise \u2013 Tortoise Intelligence ranked Saudi Arabia first in its Government Strategy Index for Artificial Intelligence last year.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

The importance of the country\u2019s commitment to AI was underscored at the Future Security and Safety Summit by Mazyad Al Utaibi, Partner Consultant, Security Technologies, Rawand Security Surveillance, during the AI on Security & Safety Industry: Impact and Concerns session.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the presentation, Al Utaibi highlighted AI's many positive impacts on the security sector, relating to surveillance and situational awareness, optimal resource allocation, predictive analytics, and improved communication, among others. He also reiterated how AI has positively impacted safety, referencing the workplace, emergency response, decision-making processes and traffic safety measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the session at Intersec Saudi Arabia<\/a>, insights were also outlined as the potential concerns around using AI relating to privacy, decisions, ethics, AI security, jobs, and reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPrivacy issues from using AI in surveillance and data analysis raise significant privacy concerns. Bias, discrimination, and fairness are where AI systems can inherit biases from their training data, leading to unfair decision-making by targeting or profiling certain individuals or groups,\u201d said Al Utaibi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, job displacement is a concern as automation of security and safety monitoring and management tasks could lead to job losses. Ethical and legal concerns are always there when engaging with AI in decision-making processes, such as predictive policing, which raises ethical questions about accountability and transparency, as well as long-term cultural perception,\u201d he added.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUltimately, AI has the potential to have a big, positive impact; however, there are many concerns,\u201d concluded Al Utaibi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elsewhere, on the final day, the Future Readiness Programme, a key platform for government officials and security leaders, will focus on navigating today\u2019s security landscape and developing future-ready solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the programme, sessions address the evolution of security threats, offering insights into trends, challenges, and emerging risks.

Intersec Saudi Arabia<\/a>, the country\u2019s leading trade fair for security, safety, and fire protection, has underscored the burgeoning career opportunities in the Middle East\u2019s security sector, as industry experts underscored the industry\u2019 diverse nature and opportunities for growth, innovation, and leadership.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Speaking during the opening day of Intersect Saudi Arabia as part of the Future Security and Safety Summit, Meshal Al Johani, an industry expert with more than 16 years of experience across the security spectrum, predominantly at Aramco, outlined the opportunities for the next generation of security experts and the required skillset, during his session, \u2018Roadmap to a successful security career\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Middle East\u2019s dynamic and rapidly evolving security sector is on an upward trajectory, and demand for industry professionals able to adapt to emerging technologies, tackle new threats, and ensure the protection of assets, individuals, and organisations is creating a wealth of opportunities for those interested in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor young professionals, this sector offers numerous opportunities for career advancement. Entry-level roles in corporate security, consulting, and other specialised areas quickly lead to managerial or executive positions with the correct training, certification, and continuous development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saudi Arabia is rapidly modernising and diversifying its economy under Vision 2030, aiming to reduce oil dependency and develop key public sectors. A critical element of this transformation is the growth of the security services sector, driven by expanding urban centres, the need to protect critical infrastructure, and a diversifying economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Astute Analytica, the Saudi security services market is projected to reach $14.59 billion (\u00a310.98bn) by 2032, growing at a compound annual rate of 8.1% from 2024 to 2032.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As outlined by Meshal, a commitment to learning ensures that security professionals remain equipped to tackle new challenges and seize emerging opportunities in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOngoing education is key to staying competitive in the constantly evolving security landscape. As new technologies, risks, and practices emerge, professionals must stay informed through certifications, conferences, formal education, self-study and joining professional security associations such as ASIS International.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The packed Future Security and Safety Summit agenda on the opening day addressed a range of topics, including the integrated security strategies for mega events in Saudi Arabia, which included insights from Helmut Spahn, Director Safety, Security & Access, FIFA, and Ammar Almubayedh, NEOM Security.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riham Sedik, Show Manager \u2013 Intersec Saudi Arabia, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \u201cThe security industry in the Middle East is evolving rapidly, presenting tremendous career progression opportunities for professionals at all levels. With major infrastructure, technology, and cybersecurity investments, particularly in regions like Saudi Arabia, there is an increasing demand for skilled individuals across various security sectors. Whether in digital security, fire protection, or perimeter defence, professionals can leverage these growth areas to advance their careers and significantly impact the region\u2019s security landscape.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running concurrently with the Future Security and Safety Summit is the Fire Protection and Technology Summit. It was opened by a keynote address from Major General Dr. Hamoud bin Suleiman Al-Faraj, General Directorate of Saudi Civil Defense, in which he highlighted the latest strategies and technologies employed for the nation's safety through preventive awareness measures to create a safe society free of risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow will see presentations from various experts, with topics focused on \u2018Promoting a diverse and inclusive culture for the security workforce\u2019, \u2018AI on security and safety industry: impact and concerns\u2019, \u2018Physical Security Vs Cybersecurity\u2019, and \u2018Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)\u2019, amongst others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Fire Protection & Technology Summit, the agenda will be led by discussions on \u2018Effectiveness of deployed technologies in fire detection\u2019, \u2018Harnessing the potential of IoT in early fire detection\u2019 and \u2018Fire safety of health facilities\u2019, taking centre stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bilal Al Barmawi, CEO and Founder of 1st<\/sup> Arabia Trade Shows & Conferences, said: \u201cWith the 2024 edition of Intersec Saudi Arabia expected to be the largest to date by welcoming 17,000 visitors, the next two days promise to be a game-changer for the industry in Saudi Arabia.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to experts at Intersec Saudi Arabia, the region is making significant strides in positioning the Kingdom as a global leader in AI as part of Vision 2030, with the government and private sector\u2019s efforts in utilising AI for innovation and economic progress receiving international praise \u2013 Tortoise Intelligence ranked Saudi Arabia first in its Government Strategy Index for Artificial Intelligence last year.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

The importance of the country\u2019s commitment to AI was underscored at the Future Security and Safety Summit by Mazyad Al Utaibi, Partner Consultant, Security Technologies, Rawand Security Surveillance, during the AI on Security & Safety Industry: Impact and Concerns session.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the presentation, Al Utaibi highlighted AI's many positive impacts on the security sector, relating to surveillance and situational awareness, optimal resource allocation, predictive analytics, and improved communication, among others. He also reiterated how AI has positively impacted safety, referencing the workplace, emergency response, decision-making processes and traffic safety measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the session at Intersec Saudi Arabia<\/a>, insights were also outlined as the potential concerns around using AI relating to privacy, decisions, ethics, AI security, jobs, and reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPrivacy issues from using AI in surveillance and data analysis raise significant privacy concerns. Bias, discrimination, and fairness are where AI systems can inherit biases from their training data, leading to unfair decision-making by targeting or profiling certain individuals or groups,\u201d said Al Utaibi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, job displacement is a concern as automation of security and safety monitoring and management tasks could lead to job losses. Ethical and legal concerns are always there when engaging with AI in decision-making processes, such as predictive policing, which raises ethical questions about accountability and transparency, as well as long-term cultural perception,\u201d he added.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUltimately, AI has the potential to have a big, positive impact; however, there are many concerns,\u201d concluded Al Utaibi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elsewhere, on the final day, the Future Readiness Programme, a key platform for government officials and security leaders, will focus on navigating today\u2019s security landscape and developing future-ready solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the programme, sessions address the evolution of security threats, offering insights into trends, challenges, and emerging risks. Highlighting national transformation efforts to modernise security entities, the sessions will focus on talent development, innovation, mission readiness, and future capabilities. Additionally, it explores advanced technologies, such as AI and machine learning, equipping leaders with critical strategies to tackle evolving challenges and ensure resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riham Sedik, Show Manager\u2014Intersec Saudi Arabia, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said, \u201cIntersec Saudi Arabia 2024 plays a pivotal role in spotlighting the groundbreaking advancements and contributions of GCC nations in reshaping the fire, safety and security industry. The event is a testament to Saudi Arabia\u2019s commitment to showcasing pioneering technology integration, particularly in AI, redefining the future of safety and crisis management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bilal Al Barmawi, CEO and Founder of 1st<\/sup> Arabia Trade Shows & Conferences, said: \u201cThis event serves as a knowledge-sharing platform, uniting global security professionals and exhibitors, fostering innovation, and underlining how cutting-edge technologies showcased here pave the way for safer societies globally.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec Saudi Arabia<\/a>, the country\u2019s leading trade fair for security, safety, and fire protection, has underscored the burgeoning career opportunities in the Middle East\u2019s security sector, as industry experts underscored the industry\u2019 diverse nature and opportunities for growth, innovation, and leadership.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Speaking during the opening day of Intersect Saudi Arabia as part of the Future Security and Safety Summit, Meshal Al Johani, an industry expert with more than 16 years of experience across the security spectrum, predominantly at Aramco, outlined the opportunities for the next generation of security experts and the required skillset, during his session, \u2018Roadmap to a successful security career\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Middle East\u2019s dynamic and rapidly evolving security sector is on an upward trajectory, and demand for industry professionals able to adapt to emerging technologies, tackle new threats, and ensure the protection of assets, individuals, and organisations is creating a wealth of opportunities for those interested in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor young professionals, this sector offers numerous opportunities for career advancement. Entry-level roles in corporate security, consulting, and other specialised areas quickly lead to managerial or executive positions with the correct training, certification, and continuous development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saudi Arabia is rapidly modernising and diversifying its economy under Vision 2030, aiming to reduce oil dependency and develop key public sectors. A critical element of this transformation is the growth of the security services sector, driven by expanding urban centres, the need to protect critical infrastructure, and a diversifying economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Astute Analytica, the Saudi security services market is projected to reach $14.59 billion (\u00a310.98bn) by 2032, growing at a compound annual rate of 8.1% from 2024 to 2032.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As outlined by Meshal, a commitment to learning ensures that security professionals remain equipped to tackle new challenges and seize emerging opportunities in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOngoing education is key to staying competitive in the constantly evolving security landscape. As new technologies, risks, and practices emerge, professionals must stay informed through certifications, conferences, formal education, self-study and joining professional security associations such as ASIS International.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The packed Future Security and Safety Summit agenda on the opening day addressed a range of topics, including the integrated security strategies for mega events in Saudi Arabia, which included insights from Helmut Spahn, Director Safety, Security & Access, FIFA, and Ammar Almubayedh, NEOM Security.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riham Sedik, Show Manager \u2013 Intersec Saudi Arabia, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \u201cThe security industry in the Middle East is evolving rapidly, presenting tremendous career progression opportunities for professionals at all levels. With major infrastructure, technology, and cybersecurity investments, particularly in regions like Saudi Arabia, there is an increasing demand for skilled individuals across various security sectors. Whether in digital security, fire protection, or perimeter defence, professionals can leverage these growth areas to advance their careers and significantly impact the region\u2019s security landscape.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running concurrently with the Future Security and Safety Summit is the Fire Protection and Technology Summit. It was opened by a keynote address from Major General Dr. Hamoud bin Suleiman Al-Faraj, General Directorate of Saudi Civil Defense, in which he highlighted the latest strategies and technologies employed for the nation's safety through preventive awareness measures to create a safe society free of risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow will see presentations from various experts, with topics focused on \u2018Promoting a diverse and inclusive culture for the security workforce\u2019, \u2018AI on security and safety industry: impact and concerns\u2019, \u2018Physical Security Vs Cybersecurity\u2019, and \u2018Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)\u2019, amongst others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Fire Protection & Technology Summit, the agenda will be led by discussions on \u2018Effectiveness of deployed technologies in fire detection\u2019, \u2018Harnessing the potential of IoT in early fire detection\u2019 and \u2018Fire safety of health facilities\u2019, taking centre stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to experts at Intersec Saudi Arabia, the region is making significant strides in positioning the Kingdom as a global leader in AI as part of Vision 2030, with the government and private sector\u2019s efforts in utilising AI for innovation and economic progress receiving international praise \u2013 Tortoise Intelligence ranked Saudi Arabia first in its Government Strategy Index for Artificial Intelligence last year.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

The importance of the country\u2019s commitment to AI was underscored at the Future Security and Safety Summit by Mazyad Al Utaibi, Partner Consultant, Security Technologies, Rawand Security Surveillance, during the AI on Security & Safety Industry: Impact and Concerns session.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the presentation, Al Utaibi highlighted AI's many positive impacts on the security sector, relating to surveillance and situational awareness, optimal resource allocation, predictive analytics, and improved communication, among others. He also reiterated how AI has positively impacted safety, referencing the workplace, emergency response, decision-making processes and traffic safety measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the session at Intersec Saudi Arabia<\/a>, insights were also outlined as the potential concerns around using AI relating to privacy, decisions, ethics, AI security, jobs, and reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPrivacy issues from using AI in surveillance and data analysis raise significant privacy concerns. Bias, discrimination, and fairness are where AI systems can inherit biases from their training data, leading to unfair decision-making by targeting or profiling certain individuals or groups,\u201d said Al Utaibi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition, job displacement is a concern as automation of security and safety monitoring and management tasks could lead to job losses. Ethical and legal concerns are always there when engaging with AI in decision-making processes, such as predictive policing, which raises ethical questions about accountability and transparency, as well as long-term cultural perception,\u201d he added.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUltimately, AI has the potential to have a big, positive impact; however, there are many concerns,\u201d concluded Al Utaibi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elsewhere, on the final day, the Future Readiness Programme, a key platform for government officials and security leaders, will focus on navigating today\u2019s security landscape and developing future-ready solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the programme, sessions address the evolution of security threats, offering insights into trends, challenges, and emerging risks. Highlighting national transformation efforts to modernise security entities, the sessions will focus on talent development, innovation, mission readiness, and future capabilities. Additionally, it explores advanced technologies, such as AI and machine learning, equipping leaders with critical strategies to tackle evolving challenges and ensure resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riham Sedik, Show Manager\u2014Intersec Saudi Arabia, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said, \u201cIntersec Saudi Arabia 2024 plays a pivotal role in spotlighting the groundbreaking advancements and contributions of GCC nations in reshaping the fire, safety and security industry. The event is a testament to Saudi Arabia\u2019s commitment to showcasing pioneering technology integration, particularly in AI, redefining the future of safety and crisis management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bilal Al Barmawi, CEO and Founder of 1st<\/sup> Arabia Trade Shows & Conferences, said: \u201cThis event serves as a knowledge-sharing platform, uniting global security professionals and exhibitors, fostering innovation, and underlining how cutting-edge technologies showcased here pave the way for safer societies globally.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersec Saudi Arabia<\/a>, the country\u2019s leading trade fair for security, safety, and fire protection, has underscored the burgeoning career opportunities in the Middle East\u2019s security sector, as industry experts underscored the industry\u2019 diverse nature and opportunities for growth, innovation, and leadership.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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

Speaking during the opening day of Intersect Saudi Arabia as part of the Future Security and Safety Summit, Meshal Al Johani, an industry expert with more than 16 years of experience across the security spectrum, predominantly at Aramco, outlined the opportunities for the next generation of security experts and the required skillset, during his session, \u2018Roadmap to a successful security career\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Middle East\u2019s dynamic and rapidly evolving security sector is on an upward trajectory, and demand for industry professionals able to adapt to emerging technologies, tackle new threats, and ensure the protection of assets, individuals, and organisations is creating a wealth of opportunities for those interested in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor young professionals, this sector offers numerous opportunities for career advancement. Entry-level roles in corporate security, consulting, and other specialised areas quickly lead to managerial or executive positions with the correct training, certification, and continuous development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saudi Arabia is rapidly modernising and diversifying its economy under Vision 2030, aiming to reduce oil dependency and develop key public sectors. A critical element of this transformation is the growth of the security services sector, driven by expanding urban centres, the need to protect critical infrastructure, and a diversifying economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Astute Analytica, the Saudi security services market is projected to reach $14.59 billion (\u00a310.98bn) by 2032, growing at a compound annual rate of 8.1% from 2024 to 2032.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As outlined by Meshal, a commitment to learning ensures that security professionals remain equipped to tackle new challenges and seize emerging opportunities in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOngoing education is key to staying competitive in the constantly evolving security landscape. As new technologies, risks, and practices emerge, professionals must stay informed through certifications, conferences, formal education, self-study and joining professional security associations such as ASIS International.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The packed Future Security and Safety Summit agenda on the opening day addressed a range of topics, including the integrated security strategies for mega events in Saudi Arabia, which included insights from Helmut Spahn, Director Safety, Security & Access, FIFA, and Ammar Almubayedh, NEOM Security.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riham Sedik, Show Manager \u2013 Intersec Saudi Arabia, Messe Frankfurt Middle East, said: \u201cThe security industry in the Middle East is evolving rapidly, presenting tremendous career progression opportunities for professionals at all levels. With major infrastructure, technology, and cybersecurity investments, particularly in regions like Saudi Arabia, there is an increasing demand for skilled individuals across various security sectors. Whether in digital security, fire protection, or perimeter defence, professionals can leverage these growth areas to advance their careers and significantly impact the region\u2019s security landscape.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running concurrently with the Future Security and Safety Summit is the Fire Protection and Technology Summit. It was opened by a keynote address from Major General Dr. Hamoud bin Suleiman Al-Faraj, General Directorate of Saudi Civil Defense, in which he highlighted the latest strategies and technologies employed for the nation's safety through preventive awareness measures to create a safe society free of risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow will see presentations from various experts, with topics focused on \u2018Promoting a diverse and inclusive culture for the security workforce\u2019, \u2018AI on security and safety industry: impact and concerns\u2019, \u2018Physical Security Vs Cybersecurity\u2019, and \u2018Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)\u2019, amongst others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Fire Protection & Technology Summit, the agenda will be led by discussions on \u2018Effectiveness of deployed technologies in fire detection\u2019, \u2018Harnessing the potential of IoT in early fire detection\u2019 and \u2018Fire safety of health facilities\u2019, taking centre stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bilal Al Barmawi, CEO and Founder of 1st<\/sup> Arabia Trade Shows & Conferences, said: \u201cWith the 2024 edition of Intersec Saudi Arabia expected to be the largest to date by welcoming 17,000 visitors, the next two days promise to be a game-changer for the industry in Saudi Arabia.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
