The Converged Security Centre (CSC) is set to show security technology in action, in both physical and cyber spheres, at this years IFSEC International – 17-19 May. The premier of CSC was in 2019 – pre-pandemic. The popular conferences provided an insight into how the cyber and physical security worlds are collaborating to enhance organisational resilience against new threat vectors.
Gerry Dunphy, Event Director for IFSEC International, says, “The Converged Security Centre is now a major part of IFSEC and is aligned to our strategy of representing the very best in integrated and converged security solutions.
“IFSEC has always been a major showcase for security technologies and the pace of change and innovation is often bewildering, so it’s essential we can address this via a unique proposition.”
This year’s Converged Security Centre partner will be Advancis, collaborating with several vendor partners such as Kaseware to showcase the benefits of open, integrated security management platforms. Expert consultants James Willison and Sarb Sembhi return and will be on hand to provide advice and offer a range of keynote presentations and panel debates about the use of the technology and how it will be a vital addition to the suite of options available to end-users and integrators.
Visitors will have an opportunity to see, hear and experience the technology in real time and meet with the innovators and experts behind the technology.
Richard McClellan – Commercial Director at Advancis UK comments: “We are delighted to be part of the Converged Security Centre for IFSEC 2022. With WinGuard, our Open PSIM platform, we will be showcasing how the latest physical and cyber security technologies can converge to provide a control centre with more meaningful information, enabling operators to make more informed decisions, increasing situational awareness, security and the safety of people and assets.”
